ISDE 2011 - Third International Workshop on Information Systems in Distributed Environment (ISDE'11)

Third International Workshop on Information Systems in Distributed Environment (ISDE’11)
http://www.onthemove-conferences.org/index.php/isd...
The distributed development of information systems as well as their deployment and operation in distributed environments impose new challenges for software organizations and can lead to business advantages. In distributed environments, business units collaborate across time zones, organizational boundaries, work cultures and geographical distances, something that ultimately has led to an increasing diversification and growing complexity of cooperation among units. The real-world practice of developing, deployment and operation of information systems in globally distributed projects has been viewed from various perspectives, though technical and engineering in conjunction with managerial and organizational viewpoints have dominated the researcher’s attention so far. Successful participation in distributed environments, however, is ultimately a matter of the participants understanding and exploiting the particularities of their respective local contexts at specific points in time and exploring practical solutions through the local resources available.

Suggested topics that this workshop will endeavour to address include, but are not limited to, the following:

Distributed development of information systems
Software engineering methodologies and processes for distributed development of information systems
Agile methods for distributed development of information systems
Information system architectures suited for distributed development
Organizational and business views
Strategic issues in distributed development of information system
Management of risks such as organizational and cultural differences
Task allocation in distributed development of information system
Communication and collaboration in globally distributed teams
Knowledge transfer, knowledge management strategies and informal sharing in distributed development of information systems
Impact of cultural and geographical differences in distributed development of information system
Cognitive issues in distributed development of information systems, their deployment and operation
Empirical evaluations of effectiveness of distributed information systems projects
Infrastructure required for distributed information systems
Methods and tools for distributed information systems: requirements engineering, architecture, design, coding, verification, testing and maintenance
Quality, process and configuration management for distributed information systems

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All submissions must be in English. Submissions should be in PDF format and must not exceed 10 pages in the final camera-ready format. The final proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science). Author instructions can be found at:
