SM - Software management: Measurement, Peopleware and Innovation

Research in Software Management has far-reaching boundaries and must adapt to diverse contexts. To address the needs of managers a number of concepts, models and measures developed over decades of exploration of complex business, organizational as well as engineering environments. Researchers in software management are expected to establish innovative connections among diverse disciplines to find resolutions for the challenges faced by software managers. The interdisciplinary nature of the solution approaches requires utilization of various methodologies both quantitative and qualitative. The development of new software measures, tools and methods requires adaptation mechanisms for their deployment in acquisition, development, maintenance and operation of software systems.

The Software Management Track is organized as part of the Euromicro SEAA for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss new ideas, innovations, trends, and experiences in diverse boundaries. In particular, we encourage submissions of technical research papers and experience reports demonstrating the potential of new approaches by means of empirical studies. We would like to emphasize research fields significantly influencing the success of software projects and software organizations, including peopleware, innovation management and software measurement.
