CALL FOR PAPER
-----------------------------------------------------------
2nd International Workshop on
Supporting Knowledge Collaboration in Software Development
Sept. 19, 2006 Tokyo, Japan
http://l3d.cs.colorado.edu/kcsd2006/
In conjunction with 21st IEEE/ACM International Conference
Automated Software Engineering (ASE2006)
http://www.ase-conference.jp/
------------------------------------------------------------
THEMES AND TOPICS:
The creation of modern software systems requires knowledge
from a wide range of domains: application domains, computer
hardware and operating systems, algorithms, programming
languages, vast amount of component libraries, development
environments, the history of the software system, and users.
Because few software developers have all the required
knowledge, the development of software is no longer confined
to an individual but has to rely on distributed cognition by
reaching into a complex networked world of information and
computer mediated collaboration. Knowledge collaboration has
thus become an important aspect of software development.
This workshop seeks to gain an improved understanding on the
theoretical, social, technological and practical issues
related to all dimensions of knowledge collaboration in
software development, and to explore opportunities for
automated support, such as the timely acquisition of
external knowledge and the facilitation of collaboration
among developers. Submissions of full papers and position
papers are invited on varied aspects of understanding and
supporting knowledge collaboration in software development.
Suggested topic areas of interest include, but are not
limited to:
- technical issues in accessing external information
repositories
- technical issues in acquiring expertise from peer
developers
- social issues in facilitating knowledge transfer
- socio-technical approaches to motivating participation in
knowledge collaboration
- utilizing social networks to connect people for knowledge
collaboration
- understanding how knowledge is accumulated, transferred
and shared among Open Source Software developers
- understanding how new comers learn about the knowledge
of Open Source Software systems and communities
- analyzing and understanding the unique features of
knowledge collaborative activities specific to software
development such as pair programming, inspection,
maintenance and end-user development;
SUBMISSION:
The workshop invites the submission of both full papers and
position papers. Full papers shall describe in detail
research projects and experience, and must not exceed 8
pages in the conference format (see
http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/ieeecs/publications/cps/cps_forms.html).
Position papers shall describe visions, new perspectives,
research experience, or emerging research questions, and must
not exceed 2 pages of the same IEEE format.
Both types of submissions will be reviewed by the program
committee for their relevance as well theoretical,
technological and practical contributions to the topics of
the workshop. We especially encourage the submission of
provoking or unconventional ideas that can lead to lively
and productive discussions and inspire new research ideas
and directions. Please send your submission (in PDF) to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] by Jun. 23, 2006.
Accepted papers of the workshop will be published in the
workshop proceeding with an International Standard Serial
Number (ISSN).
