[AISWorld] HICSS 48 CFP: Minitrack Agile & Lean Software Engineering

[John Tripp]

Over the last decade software development approaches have moved decidedly
from a more traditional software engineering approach towards agile and
lean software development.  However, even from the beginning of the
emergence of agile methods, it has been recognized that there are high
levels of congruity between traditional and agile approaches to software
development. In fact, there are a number of sources that illustrate that
agile approaches are being heavily tailored to their environments, with
many teams using approaches that blend "agile" and "traditional" techniques.

While submissions that are focused primarily on agile development are
welcome, this mini-track is intentionally placed at the intersection of the
"agile" and "traditional" software development paradigms. In addition to
articles that focus on agile, we seek submissions that illuminate the
middle ground between traditional software engineering and agile and lean
software development. Thus, the track is titled 'Agile and Lean Software
Engineering'.

Possible topics for the minitrack include:

·      What is the essence of each approach and are they compatible?

·      Defining agile and lean software engineering

·      What is the fit? - When to go more Agile or Lean - when to go more
Software Engineering

·      Agile and Lean Requirements Engineering

·      Agile and lean Modelling: More than just code

·      A New Approach to Architecture?

·      Optimal Iteration Lengths - how they differ based upon various
environmental forces.

·      New approaches to teams and teaming

·      Tools to Support Agile and Lean Software Engineering

·      Teaching agile and lean software engineering

·      Lessons learned in Agile and Lean Software Development

·      Software Engineering Method and Theory (SEMAT)

This minitrack will also be a forum to present and discuss research related
to the SEMAT (Software Engineering Method and Theory) initiative. SEMAT
aims to find a core theory and method common to any approach to software
development.  Much has been done on SEMAT to define this core theory and
core practices but there is still a long way to go in finding a common
ground for all approaches to software development.
