Conference Overview and Theme
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Theme: Software Bridging Distances Between People

The 11th IEEE International Conference on Global Software Engineering
(ICGSE 2016) brings together researchers and practitioners to share their
findings and experiences in addressing the challenges of globally
distributed teams. These challenges result from distances of various kinds,
including cultural, linguistic, and dispersion over time and space.

ICGSE 2016 will focus on how the challenges of Global Software Engineering
are being addressed and resolved within the different practice areas such
as requirements, design, construction, testing, maintenance, process,
methods, management, etc. We invite both academic and industrial
communities to contribute to this flagship conference in global software
and IT.

Submissions must be related to global software engineering; topics include
but are not limited to:

* Cloud computing and crowdsourcing
* Communication, coordination, and control
* Design thinking and global product design
* Education
* Industrial offshoring and outsourcing experiences
* Industry case studies of all topics in this list
* Lean and agile development
* Managing and working with suppliers and contractors
* Methods and processes
* Mining software repositories and software analytics
* Open source software communities
* Security and privacy
* Social and human aspects of software development
* Social network analysis
* Software architecture
* Software business model innovation
* Software evolution and maintenance
* Software project management
* Software testing
* Strategic issues in distributed development
* Tools and infrastructure support
