ABSTRACT

This workshop focuses on human aspects of software engineering. The importance of this topic stems from the recognition that the more the software world is developed, the more it is accepted by the software engineering community that the people involved in software development processes deserve more attention. In this spirit, this workshop attempts to highlight the world of software engineering from the perspective of the main actors involved in software development processes: the individuals, the team, the customer, different organizational role holders, and other stake holders.

The workshop consists of theory- and practice-based presentations, group work and discussions. Workshop activities include: experience sharing with respect to case studies in which human aspects play a central role, examination of different software engineering topics from the human perspective, exploration of how the awareness to human aspects of SE may foster organizational processes, and teaching human aspects of SE in software organizations and in the academia.

WORKSHOP GOALS

· The participants share their research work on human aspects of software engineering

· The participants build a community that further explore human aspects of software engineering

· The participants investigate research methods that fit for the exploration of human aspects of software engineering

· The participants explore cognitive, social and organizational aspects of software engineering

· The participants deepen their understanding of how human aspects of software engineering influence software development processes

WORKSHOP TOPICS

We welcome the submission of papers from the full spectrum of issues related with human aspects of software engineering. For example,

· Social perspective at software engineering

· Collaboration and teamwork in software teams

· Cognitive perspective at software engineering

· Learning processes in software engineering

· Ethical issues in software engineering

· Culture and diversity issues in software engineering
