Track: Systems Analysis and Design



Cancun, Mexico August 15-17, 2019



In order to develop and deliver high-quality products to their customers,
software organizations are adopting innovative methods (Kanban, Lean) and
Continuous Development processes such as continuous delivery, continuous
deployment, and microservices to support an agile software development
lifecycle. For example, the DevOps (Development + Operations) phenomenon
emerged to address the disconnection between development and operations
functions that can occur in large organizations particularly when they
adopt agile software development lifecycles.



The choice of these innovative development methods and approaches have a
high impact on the planning, development, operations, and delivery of
systems. They can also influence the structure or culture of organizations
as common organizational processes and development activities have to be
adapted to ensure Continuous Development. Therefore, a better understanding
of the factors that influence the effective implementation of these
methods, processes and practices is needed. Such understanding can help
organizations to achieve improvement in development outcomes such as
productivity, quality, service time, and customer satisfaction. We need
empirical evidence of achieving (or not) the intended goals and outcomes on
all of the topics that fall under the umbrella of “Continuous Development”.
These and other related topics will be explored in this mini-track.



Call for Papers:



We are seeking high-quality research papers for this track that investigate
various aspects of contemporary development methods (Lean, Kanban) and
Continuous development. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:



•           Continuous improvement with Lean and Kanban

•           Continuous Development processes (continuous delivery,
continuous release and deployment, continuous measurement and improvement)

•           Automation (build and test automation, deployment automation,
monitoring automation, infrastructure automation, metrics automation)

•           Effective practices in Continuous Development

•           Challenges implementing Continuous Development processes and
activities

•           Cultural enablers of DevOps (shared goals and understanding,
continuous experimentation and learning, shared values, respect and trust,
and collective ownership)

•           Organisational issues for Continuous development

•           DevOps in large enterprises

•           Industrial experience with Continuous development

•           Teaching Continuous Development
