CSP 2012 - 1st Track Conference on Collaborative Software Processes

Building complex and trustworthy software systems in the shortest time-to-market remains the challenging objective that competitive companies are facing constantly, and mastering the development process is a key issue towards this objective. Companies need to be able to formalize their development processes in order to analyze them, to enact them, and to assess them for quality measurement and efficiency improvement.
The CSP track focuses on collaborative aspects of modelling and enactment of software development processes. It aims to gather researchers and industrial practitioners working in the field of Collaborative Process Support for Software Development. It will provide an opportunity for the community to exchange ideas and to present emerging new technology and understanding in the field.
