2nd International Workshop on Governance in Software Engineering

>>

Scope

Nowadays regulatory compliance is a key quality attributes in the development of many software systems such as the ones found in cars, smart watches, data servers, medical devices. Safety andsecurity standards (e.g., ISO 26262 standard for functional safety of road vehicles), governmental and international laws (e.g., GDPR,HIPAA, PHIA), process compliance (e.g., CMMI) have to be followed and properly documented. The rapid emergence of new computing technologies such as cloud computing, internet of things, artificial intelligence make it crucial for us, software engineers, to gather around the topic, discuss the current state-of-the-art and practice related to software governance, and identify challenges, opportunitieson the topic.

Submission Guidelines

GISE welcomes two types of contributions:

  • Short papers (max 4 pages, including figures, appendices and references)
  • Vision papers (max 2 pages, including figures, appendicesand references)

Short papers are insightful contributions on relevant topics onsoftware engineering governance. Examples include (1) preliminary research results for which a complete evaluation has not yet been performed, (2) studies, surveys on existing standards, regulations, norms used in a given domain, (3) (positive or negative) results on the experience of applying standards, regulations, and norms in real industrial settings.

Vision papers may discuss long-term challenges and opportunities related to the topic of the workshop, present new positions orbring evidences which would be interesting to discuss within the community.

The papers submitted to GISE must be original (i.e., not submitted elsewhere at the same time) and follow the ICSE formatting guidelines.

Accepted papers will be published in the ICSE workshop proceedings and published in the ACM Digital Library prior to the event. The official publication date of the workshop proceedings is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of ICSE 2021. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. Submission is done through Easy Chair at GISE21 @ Easy Chair.
