Keynotes We are delighted to announce that CSI-SE 2016 will feature two excellent keynotes from Dave Messinger, VP Product Architecture at TopCoder and Anand Kulkarni, Founder and Chief Scientist at LeadGenius.
Program
Call for papers A number of trends under the broad banner of crowdsourcing are beginning to fundamentally disrupt the way in which software is engineered. Programmers increasingly rely on crowdsourced knowledge and code, as they look to Q&A sites for answers or use code from publicly posted snippets. Programmers play, compete, and learn with the crowd, engaging in programming competitions and puzzles with crowds of programmers. Online IDEs make possible radically new forms of collaboration, allowing developers to synchronously program with crowds of distributed programmers. Programmers' reputation is increasingly visible on Q&A sites and public code repositories, opening new possibilities in how developers find jobs and companies identify talent. Crowds of non-programmers increasingly participate in development, usability testing software or even constructing specifications while playing games. Crowdfunding democratizes choices about which software is built, broadening the software which might be feasibly constructed. Approaches for crowd development seek to microtask software development, dramatically increasing participation in open source by enabling software projects to be built through casual, transient work. CSI-SE seeks to understand how crowdsourcing is shaping and disrupting software development, shedding light on the opportunities and challenges. We encourage submissions of studies, systems, and techniques relevant to the application of crowdsourcing (broadly construed) to software engineering. Topics of interest Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Workshop organization CSI-SE is a one day workshop composed of four sessions. A morning session will be devoted to invited talks by leaders in crowdsourcing in software engineering. Two paper sessions will provide opportunities for authors to disseminate their work and interact with other researchers working in the area of crowdsourcing in software engineering. The workshop will close with a highly interactive discussion session. Submissions
CSI-SE welcomes three types of paper submissions:
Papers should follow the formatting guidelines for ICSE 2016 submissions. Note that the page limits include references. Papers should be submitted through the EasyChair submission system. Each paper will be reviewed by three members of the program committee. Accepted papers will be published as an ICSE 2016 Workshop Proceedings in the ACM and IEEE Digital Libraries and be presented at the workshop. Papers must present novel material and not under review elsewhere at the time of submission. The official publication date of the workshop proceedings is the date the proceedings are available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of ICSE 2016. The official publication date affects the deadline of any patent filings related to published work. Important dates Submissions due January 29, 2016 Notification to authors February 19, 2016 Camera-ready copies of authors' papers February 26, 2016 Workshop May 16, 2016 Previous workshops |
