SER 2009

IBM CASCON Workshop on
Software Engineering 2.0 & Research 2.0

Software is BY and FOR people.

This fact has been neglected for too long as the terms “computer science” and “computer languages” testify. However, it should be clear now that collaboration between many stakeholders is one of the most important key factor in the success (or failure) of large software projects and complex software ecosystems. In this context, web 2.0 technologies provide new opportunities to share information between stakeholders, improve communications and build collaborative tools and processes. These technologies could also have a dramatic impact on how research is performed, leading to collaborative and social research, beyond the traditional separation between small research and big research. This workshop will explore the various facets of Software Engineering 2.0 and Research 2.0, considering not only collaborative tools, but also social aspects related to community engineering.
