Preliminary call for papers

13th International Conference on Product Focused Software Development
and Process Improvement

June 13-15, 2012, Madrid

http://www.grise.upm.es/profes2012/

------------------------------------

CONFERENCE BACKGROUND

PROFES is the premier forum for practitioners, researchers, and
educators to present and discuss experiences, ideas, innovations,
as well as concerns related to software process and product quality
improvement. PROFES 2012 will be the 13th gathering of the PROFES
community and will take place in Madrid, Spain.

Traditionally, PROFES has provided topics, which are up-to-date,
important, and interesting. To ensure that PROFES will retain its
high standards and that it will keep focusing on the most relevant
research issues, we are looking for original research on software
engineering aspects addressing products and services in the "Cloud" or
"Cyber Physical World". Furthermore, we are looking for case studies
reporting on the application of respective methods or technologies
in real settings.

The technical program will feature keynote talks, research papers,
and experience reports on the most relevant topics related to
process diversity management. Empirical studies (i.e. experiments,
industrial experiences, cases studies, etc.) are welcome. In addition,
we will host a number of workshops and tutorials. We will also host a
Doctoral Symposium. Details about these events can be found by visiting
http://www.grise.upm.es/profes2012/.

The proceedings of PROFES 2012 will be published by Springer
in the Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-0-0-0. The topics
of interest in the conference include, but are not restricted to,
the following:

- Technologies and Methods for challenging all aspects Product and
  Process Diversity in the Global Markets
- Process Patterns
- Agile and Lean Processes
- Quality models for Systems, Services, and Software
- Project management techniques
- Software as a service "Cloud"
- Software as core of Cyber Physical Systems
- Service Engineering Processes
- Software Process Improvement (SPI) for Quality Products and Services
  in Changing Environments;
- SPI in Different Areas and Contexts
- Process Modeling, Management and Assessment in different or changing
  environments
- Flexible Software Business Models
- *-by-design approaches (* being any specific quality attribute, such
  as privacy, security, safety)" 

------------------------------------

SPECIAL THEME: SE in the frame of the Cloud and Cyber-Physical Systems

The trend towards the "Cloud" (specifically software as a service),
and Cyber-Physical systems are bringing up some new approaches to
software development (e.g., MDD). We are looking for original research
on processes, methods and tools, tackling technical challenges such as
(1)         vertical integratability (parallelism, distribution)
(2)         integration and migration.
(3)         security and privacy (e.g., * by design)

------------------------------------

SUBMISSION OF TECHNICAL PAPERS AND EXPERIENCE REPORTS

All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous peer review
process. Papers will be selected based on originality, quality,
soundness and relevance. All contributions must be original, not
published, accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. All
papers should be submitted in PDF format through Easychair
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=profes2012. The
maximum length of the research and experience report papers is 15
pages. Submitted papers must conform to the Springer LNCS layout
rules http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0.
