3 Feb 2004, submitted by "Erdogmus, Hakan" (Hakan.Erdogmus at nrc-cnrc.gc.ca)
Sixth International Workshop on Economics-Driven Software Engineering
Research
EDSER-6: Strengthening the Economic Foundations of Software Engineering
May 24-25, Edinburgh, Scotland (collocated with ICSE 2004)
Keynotes:
- Dr. Michael Cusumano, "Software Business Models: Products or Services?",
Distinguished Professor, MIT Sloan School of Management, Author of
"Microsoft Secrets" and "The Software Business"
- Dr. Kevin J. Sullivan, "Title TBD", Associate Professor, University of
Virginia, Founder of EDSER Workshops
Call for Contributions
Traditionally, the study of software engineering has been primarily a
technical endeavor with minimal attention given to its economic context.
Often technical decisions are made without adequate links to economic and
business considerations. The goal of the EDSER workshops is to improve the
quality of decision making in software engineering based on sound economic
justifications. To that end, EDSER-6 will provide an interactive forum to
discuss and advance the state-of-the-art research and practice in
economics-driven software engineering. Work in this area utilizes methods
and theories from different disciplines, such as decision theory, game
theory, economics, and finance to solve technical and managerial problems in
software engineering. As previous EDSER workshops, EDSER-6 will take place
in conjunction with ICSE and bring together many leading researchers in the
area.
Participants are solicited in two categories: regular participants and
student participants.
* Regular participants should submit a position statement describing their
current interests and past work in software engineering economics and
commenting on specific issues, approaches to tackle these issues, and the
underlying needs. Newcomers, both researchers and practitioners, are welcome
to EDSER-6. Newcomers can focus their position statement on issues and
needs. Position statements should be prepared in using the template provided
on the workshop web site and should not exceed four pages. The position
statements will be used to plan and structure the workshop activities.
* Student participants should submit a short paper proposing new ideas or
reporting on work in progress. Student papers should be prepared in MS-Word
format using the standard ICSE-IEEE template available on the workshop web
site and should not exceed four pages. Student papers will undergo a
shepherding process and presented in a plenary session. The purpose of the
student papers is to give the authors the opportunity to get constructive
feedback on their work.
All accepted papers and position statements will be posted on the conference
workshop and published in the workshop proceedings.

Submissions must be received by March 8, 2004.
