Software engineering comprises the development of a product strategy, requirements engineering, modeling, implementation, maintenance and choices of paradigms, architectures and technology - often in an incremental and evolving process with short cycles and within a context of rapid technological advances, organizational transitions and changing markets. Management of an organization thus also means management of the software engineering process. We call for papers that present an original contribution to software engineering and that explore the trends, the forthcoming issues and open questions in software business. This Open Space Symposium aims at bringing together people from both business and software engineering perspectives, people in industry, education and science. Our goal is to explore the future trends and to work jointly on open questions posed by the participants.
Participants contribute with their expert knowledge and show openly their current problems.
It provides knowledge and support to manage the challenges of today. A submission may contain an extra appendix that details the subject and is considered for the review.
