# Call for Papers – 10th International Workshop on Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering (CHASE 2017)
http://www.chaseresearch.org/workshops/chase2017

A workshop of the 39th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE'17).

## Important Dates

- Workshop paper submissions due January 20th, 2017
- Notification February 17th, 2017
- Camera-ready deadline February 27th, 2017
- Workshop May 23rd, 2017

## Workshop Overview

Software is created for and with a wide range of stakeholders, from
customers to management, to value-added providers, and to customer
service personnel. These stakeholders work with teams of engineers to
develop and evolve software systems that support their activities. All
of these people and their interactions are therefore central to software
development. It is crucial to investigate the constantly changing human
and cooperative aspects of software development to understand current
software practices, processes, and tools and their impact on important
local and global issues. In turn, this enables us to design and build
tools and support mechanisms to improve all aspects of software
development, and the the use and evolution of the deployed software
systems.

Researchers and practitioners have long recognized the need to
investigate these aspects, however, their articles have been scattered
across many conferences and communities. This workshop provides a
unified forum for discussing high quality research studies, models,
methods, and tools for human and cooperative aspects of software
engineering. We provide a meeting place for academic, industry, and
practitioner communities interested in this area, and for those who are
curious to see what it is all about.

## Workshop Organizers

- Daniel Graziotin, University of Stuttgart
- Rafael Prikladnicki, PUCRS, Computer Science School
- Meira Levy, Shenkar, College of Engineering and Design
- Anita Sarma, Oregon State University
- David Socha, University of Washington Bothell

## Topics of Interest

Topics of interest are about the human, cooperative, and collaborative
aspects of software engineering and include, but are not limited to:
- Software design or engineering philosophies, practices, and tools;
- Adapting tools or processes to accommodate a range of organiza­tional and cultural situations;
- Sociological or cultural characterizations of software engineering (e.g., trust, conflicts, norms);
- Psychological or cognitive aspects of software design or engineering (e.g., motivation, rewards, personality);
- Managerial or organizational aspects focused on people and their interactions;
- Collaborative or cooperative aspects of design or engineering within multidisciplinary teams;
- Teamwork, collaboration, or cooperation in or across various development methodologies;
- Community-based software development (e.g., Open Source, crowdsourcing, and public-private partnerships);
- Coordination, mutual awareness, and knowledge sharing at different scales (e.g., distributed teams, semi-anonymous collaboration, “borderless” teams);
- Stakeholder participation within and across phases;
- Processes and tools to support communication, collaboration, and cooperation among stakeholders over the lifetime of a system.

## Possible contributions include

- Empirical studies of software engineering teams or individuals _in situ_;
- Laboratory studies of individual or team software engineering behavior;
- Novel tools or processes motivated by observed needs or empirical investigations;
- Meta-research topics.

## Submissions and Presentation

We welcome 7-page full papers, 4-page short papers, and 2-page notes to
enable attendees at different stages in their research process to
participate in the workshop. Page limits include references. Papers
should be submitted to the workshop's EasyChair site (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=chase2017).
Please follow the ICSE formatting guidelines (http://icse2017.gatech.edu/?q=submission-guidelines).

Accepted papers will be hosted on a password-protected, CHASE-hosted,
collaboration site to foster discussion prior to the workshop. The
official publication date of the workshop proceedings is the date the
proceedings are made available in IEEE XPlore. This date may be up to
two weeks prior to the first day of ICSE 2017. The official publication
date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published
work.

Only a subset of papers will be selected for presentations based on
their representativeness and potential for generating discussion. All
accepted papers may contribute a poster to a joint poster session with
International Conference on Global Software Engineering (ICGSE). All
interested parties are welcome to register, even without an accepted
paper.

## Open Science Practices

CHASE 2017 continues its previous years' experimentation with encouraging authors to use open science to make their research, data and dissemination accessible to anybody in the world with an Internet connection. Our guidelines and recommendations for open access, open data and open source, and signed peer review are available on our website (http://www.chaseresearch.org/workshops/chase2017).
