<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Call for Papers<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Special Issue on “Human Factors in Software Development” in the
<i>Information and Software Technology</i> journal<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Software development is primarily a human and collaborative endeavour, as software is typically developed by individuals or groups working together in an organization.
For such collaborative work to succeed, a large variety of human factors need to be considered and many issues need to be addressed. Issues such as lack of effective coordination among the developers and factors such as developer motivation and organizational
structure (for example, the social network structure and its fit with the development methodology), play a crucial role in the success of software development projects. Furthermore, the impact of these issues varies depending on the kind of software development
methodology or environment. For example, customer collaboration and communication is important in an Agile development context, while developer coordination and communication is critical in a globally distributed software development environment. We are particularly
interested in case studies dealing with human factors related to software development in different environments, settings, and cases.
