Held together with Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing in Software Development Teams

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Software engineering is often faced with the challenges of large and distributed development teams that need to adhere to frequent changes and short release cycles. Effective collaboration and knowledge sharing are crucial in order to guarantee successful software development. Methods and tools that support development teams must be based on interdisciplinary research efforts that investigate technologies, tools, processes and human factors in a holistic manner. Only if we understand the interplay between the involved disciplines we are able to deliver methods and integrated tool solutions that provide suitable collaboration and knowledge sharing support for software development teams. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on different aspects of collaboration and knowledge sharing to discuss new results and future research challenges with regard to software development from different perspectives. One major goal is to define a research agenda and establish a community around the crosscutting topics of collaboration and knowledge sharing in software engineering.

CONTEXT AND MOTIVATION

Due to the new business models of the Web 2.0 and the new generation of Web users the development of social software requires a new SE approach. At the same time social software brings new possibilities for the SE process. Building on the positive experiences from the open source community we propose the term “social software engineering” which should include both Web 2.0 style engineering and engineering of the social software. Communication between different stakeholders, developers and end-users is an essential aspect for successful software engineering (SE). SE presents a social process that has to be supported by the communication enabling tools. SE-participants can express their opinion and exchange their ideas. With the globalization of software production, the social software can serve as a good option for socialization of SE processes.
Special about social software is, firstly, its meritocracy; secondly, its extreme user-orientation and, thirdly, its focus on emerging scale-free structures. However, it is not enough to create tools using Web 2.0 business models. The development of social software is a social process itself. Using certain social software for SE, a community experiences endless evolution and requires continuous adaptation of tools to their changing needs. Therefore, the development of social software opens a new challenge for design of SE.
The goal of the workshop is to bring together the researchers and practices interested in engineering process of social software, which in turn should/could be applied during software engineering. During the workshop a state-of-the-art discussion on advanced research and open issues on social software engineering will take place. The special focus will be put on design process and design guidelines of social systems created for SE support.
