About the Workshop and Topics

The Tools and Techniques in Software Development Processes (TTSDP 2014) provides a forum for researchers, and practitioners to share their new achievements, tools and techniques in field of software development process. TTSDP especially invites the experience papers from  industry and academia, short papers, reports, surveys, working papers/work in progress and industrial reports. Review/Comment papers are also welcome with the limitation that the paper should be on general problem/topic in the field (no comments are allowed on a particular paper). TTSDP covers all the aspects of development process: process models, agile development, software engineering practices, requirements, system and design engineering including architectural design, software modeling, testing strategies and tactics, process and product metrics for each phase of software development, component based software engineering, software quality, verification and validation techniques and software project management.

TTSDP 2014 invites you to submit your work that describes original and significant contribution in all area of software development process. The paper submitted to TTSDP 2014 must not submit elsewhere either in conference or journal and should be in IEEE style. Papers selected after peer review will be included in the conference proceedings and presented orally at the conference.

TTSDP 2014 invites you to submit three different types of session papers (5 to 11 pages long) on all above-mentioned topics:
Research papers: Papers that describes original and significant contribution in all area of software development process.
Experience paper: papers from the field describing real-world experience related to software development process.

Short paper and reports: Papers that allows the explanation of ideas that are not yet fully validated. Review articles (not on a particular paper), comparative study and survey reports are also welcome.

The paper submitted to TTSDP 2014 must not have been submitted elsewhere either in conference or journal and should be in IEEE style. Papers selected after review will be included in the conference proceedings and presented orally at the conference.

Special ISSUES:


In several countries, conference papers are not considered in evaluation of academic performances. In this point of view, we have decided to publish the extended version of all presented papers in TTSDP in special issues of several international journals. The papers will also be selected for  International Journal of Software Science and Computational Intelligence (IJSSCI:Published by IGI global),  International Journal of Open Source Software and Processes (IJOSSP) (IGI Global, USA) and International Journal of Human Capital Information(IGI Global) with the condition that the papers should fall under the aim and scope of the said journals. Remaining  papers will be accommodated in an international journal: CJICT (an Official Journal of Covenant University) and NJTR. We are highly thankful to the Management/Editor/Editorial committee of all these journals for accepting the special issues/papers from our workshops.
