We invite you to participate in the

11th IEEE International Conference on Global Software Engineering (ICGSE 2016), Orange County, California, USA
University of California, Irvine
August 2-5, 2016

Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society.

ICGSE 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 features three renowned keynote speakers, a dynamic lineup of both research and industry papers, short papers to be presented as lightning talks, a poster session, and social activities including a welcome reception and a banquet dinner. Two workshops, four tutorials presented by influential leaders in the field, and a doctoral symposium complete this year's robust program.

REGISTRATION is now open on the conference web site:
