Software is created for and with a wide range of stakeholders, from customers to management, from value-added providers to customer service personnel. These stakeholders work with teams of software engineers to develop and evolve software systems that support their activities. All of these people and their interactions are central to software development. Thus, it is crucial to investigate the constantly-changing human and cooperative aspects of software development, both before and after deployment, in order to understand current software practices, processes, and tools. In turn, this enables us to design tools and support mechanisms that improve software creation, software maintenance, and customer communication.

Workshop Theme and Goals

Software engineering is about making choices and decisions. Some of the critical decisions are informed by multiple viewpoints and experiences acquired from stakeholders. Methods, tools, and techniques have been shaped over many years by best practices learned from experience, but software engineers continually face new challenges and constraints. Addressing these challenges benefits from diverse perspectives, and this workshop welcomes submissions that embrace this variety. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Software design philosophies, engineering practices, and tools that leverage human and cooperative aspects of software engineering;

- Adapting tools and processes to accommodate a range of organizational and cultural situations;

- Sociological and cultural characterizations of software engineering (e.g. trust, conflicts, norms);

- Psychological and cognitive aspects of software engineering (e.g. motivation, rewards, personality types);

- Managerial and organizational aspects of software engineering that focus on people and their interactions;

- Software engineering as collaborative work, including behavioral incentives, social networking, communication, coordination, and decision-support tools;

- Teamwork and cooperation in various development methodologies (e.g. agile, spiral, lean, waterfall, RAD);

- Models of community-based software development, such as Open Source, crowdsourcing, and public-private partnerships, and attributes of these models (e.g. recruitment and retention of contributors, risk management);

- Coordination, mutual awareness, and knowledge sharing in small-scale and large-scale software development, e.g. distributed software development, semi-anonymous collaboration, and “borderless” software teams;

- Stakeholder participation in regard to design, ownership, training, degree of involvement, communication, interplay, and influence with developers, sustainability, and deployment; and

- Processes and tools to support communication and cooperation between stakeholders, including software developers, professionals, and customers over the lifetime of a system (requirements, design, development, testing, and maintenance).

Possible contributions include:

- Empirical studies of software engineering teams or individuals in situ, using methods such as ethnographies, surveys, interviews, contextual inquiries, data mining, etc;

- Laboratory studies of individual or team software engineering behavior;

- Novel tools motivated by observed needs, such as new ways of capturing and accessing software-related knowledge, software orienteering systems, communication, collaboration, awareness tools, visualizations, etc;

- Novel processes motivated by empirical investigations; and

- Meta-research topics, such as effective validation of interventions or research methods.

Participation Solicitation and Selection Process We will have three paper categories: 7-page full papers, 4-page short papers, and 2-page notes. These different categories offer researchers who are at different stages in their research maturity the opportunity to benefit from workshop participation. 
All paper and poster submissions will be reviewed by 3 program committee members. The authors of accepted submissions will be asked to join the workshop. We will encourage all participants to submit at least a 2-page note, but the workshop will be open; all attendees will be asked to present an aspect of their work. If appropriate, we will expand the number of participants in the workshop in response to a large number of quality submissions. 

 

Submissions should be made at the following website: 

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=chase2015

- Papers should follow ICSE formatting guidelines for technical research: http://2015.icse-conferences.org/submission-guidelines
