==================== CALL FOR PAPERS =====================
International Conference on Software and Systems Process (ICSSP) 2012
        June 2-3, 2012. Zurich, Switzerland (co-located with ICSE 2012)
           Theme: Beyond Software and Software Systems Processes

========================================================

- IMPORTANT DATES
* Submission Deadline: January 16, 2012
* Acceptance Notification: February 27, 2012
* Camera-Ready Deadline: March 12, 2012

- CONFERENCE FOCUS
Processes are ubiquitous in the modern Software and Systems Engineering
world and regarded as one major means for achieving and ensuring the
quality of final products. Processes from other domains face similar
challenges such as simplicity, adaptability, coordination and standard
conformance, yet share interesting similarities with and differences to
software processes. The ICSSP conferences continue the successful ICSP
conference series with widen scope by explicitly including processes
of other domains, e.g., health care, business, and manufacturing. By
sharing process development research and practices from such domains,
ICSSP 2012 aims at investigating novel solutions to today's process
challenges.

- TOPICS OF INTEREST
ICSSP 2012 invites papers describing completed research or advanced
work-in-progress in all areas of software and systems process as well
as processes in other domains with a clear relationship to software
process challenges, including, but not limited to:
* Traditional ('Rich') processes and process models
* Agile ('Lean') processes and process models
* Model-based process improvement
* Continuous process improvement
* Process lifecycle approaches
* Design of large-scale processes, e.g., coordinating global development
  or multiple lifecycles
* Modeling, simulation, and analysis of processes
* Process tools and metrics
* Cost estimation and project planning
* Processes for developing adaptive systems, systems of systems, cloud
  and social networks
* Processes in non-software domains (including, but not limited to:
  health care, transportation, automation systems, manufacturing,
  business, aerospace, automotive systems) with a demonstrated
  relationship to software process challenges
* Empirical studies, encompassing processes for the complete software
  development lifecycle or selected parts of it

- PAPER TYPES
* Full research papers (maximum length 10 pages)
Topics suitable for full papers include completed and evaluated
research on novel approaches to major software and systems process
challenges and in-depth experience reports of major significance for
the community.
* Short papers (maximum length 5 pages).
Topics for short papers include experience reports, work-in-progress
research papers (in particular Ph.D. work), and position papers
addressing open research questions and future research directions.

- SUBMISSIONS
Papers submitted for consideration should not have been published
elsewhere and should not be under review or submitted for review
elsewhere during the duration of consideration. ACM plagiarism policies
and procedures shall be followed for cases of double submission.

All papers must conform at time of submission
to the ICSE 2012 Format and Submission Guidelines
(http://www.ifi.uzh.ch/icse2012/how-to-submit/) in PDF format, and
must not exceed the page limits (full research papers: 10 pages;
short papers: 5 pages), including all text, references, appendices
and figures.

The authors of a small set of best research papers will be invited
to submit enhanced versions of their papers to a special issue of
the Journal of Software Evolution and Process (previously known as
Journal of Software Maintenance and Evolution: Research and Practice
incorporating Software Process: Improvement and Practice).

Papers will be submitted electronically
via the EasyChair paper submission system
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icssp2012). For further
information regarding the conference and paper submission, please refer
to the ICSSP 2012 website at http://www.icsp-conferences.org/icssp2012
that will be regularly updated.
