Aims & Scope
There has been a significant shift in the development strategies for software product development in the past decade. The traditional single software product development strategy has been replaced by multiple product development, which employs a common architecture using the concept of software product lines. However the past few years have seen a further shift as the software product line concept moves towards increased openness through direct involvement with external developers outside the domain of organizations. This paradigm shift has been termed as the development of software ecosystems. The concept of software ecosystems encourages external developers to use an organizations’ software platform and contribute in product development. This establishes a community that further accelerates the sharing of knowledge, content, issues, expertise, and skills. A number of major international software development organizations including Amazon, Nokia, and Apple are pioneering the development of software ecosystems and the area is currently gaining significant momentum in the software field, making it an essential area for research. This workshop aims to enhance current understanding and knowledge in this field by providing a forum for leading scientists and software professionals to exchange ideas and discuss current results. Such a forum will help to foster a mutual understanding of the current and future issues that face professionals involved in the development of software. Furthermore as software ecosystems are novel area of research this forum will provide an essential platform in which current work can be presented and discussed and future research directions identified.
