Huaimin Wang (School of Computer, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China), Bing Xie (School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science, Peking University, Beijing, China), Gang Yin (School of Computer, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China), and Minghui Zhou (School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science, Peking University, Beijing, China)
Over the past decade, Internet has fundamentally altered the landscape of how software is designed, developed and used. Internet-based software communities eliminate the boundaries between software developers, testers and users, and attract different kinds of stakeholders to collaborate together for crowd-based software development. This workshop calls for the papers addressing the crowd-based software development methods and technologies: (1) the observations revealed from the data in the different kinds of software communities such as Linux Kernel, Mozilla Firefox, SourceForge, Github, StackOverflow, OsChina, etc., and (2) the novel software development paradigms, models, technologies and tools, to give better support for the collaborative software development and resource sharing in the crowd-based software development paradigm.
