SCOPE

The phenomena of globalization brought significant financial changes to majority of the industries and specifically for software development. However, the existing literature highlighted that it is not easy and straight forward to achieve the financial benefits. The key barriers to accomplish the potential benefits of GSE are complex communication and coordination issues, developing trust among the team members and developing GSE practices due to geographical, socio-cultural and temporal distances. Understanding issues and challenges related to GSE will assist towards the successful execution of software development activities. This workshop will provide a forum for academic and industrial researchers to share their empirical based understanding related to GSE activities. We welcome the research articles which report empirical studies in various GSE domains.

Suggested topics, this workshop will endeavor, include (but are not limited to) the following:

• 3Cs (Communication, Coordination, Control) in global software engineering
• Trust and socialization in global software engineering
• Global software engineering knowledge management
• Risk management
• Scaling agile in global software engineering domain
• Quality management
• Managing human behaviors in global software engineering
• Cultural diversity management
• Global software engineering process improvement standards and models
• Global software engineering education
