The 14th International Conference on Agile Software Development is a leading conference on agile methods in software and information systems development. XP2013 will be located in Vienna, Austria. This conference brings together industrial practitioners and researchers in the fields of information systems and software development, and examines latest theory, practical applications, and implications of agile methods. For more information visit http://xp2013.org.
We allow submission as research papers as well as experience reports.
The proceedings will be published in Springer´s Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP).
We are looking for original research, with implications for theory and practice. Motivation for research and discussion of the related work must be included, as well as a description of the research method applied. Full papers are limited to 15 pages and short papers to 8 pages.
We are looking for experience reports sharing experiences about the business impact generated when introducing agile practices, and challenges to be overcome as well as horror stories on failures including lessons learned. Experience papers must be clearly marked as such so that they can be appropriately reviewed by the program committee. Concerning length and formatting, experience reports must follow the same rules and guidelines as research papers. If you would like to receive help from an experienced agile researcher to shepherd you in developing a submission, please contact the PC chairs (research@xp2013.org) by the time indicated in the important dates list.
Papers should be submitted electronically as a self-contained PDF file using the EasyChair submission site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?con f=xp2013. Papers have to be written in English and formatted according to Springer’s LNBIP format: http://www.springer.com/series/7911. Papers not following the guidelines will be rejected.
Accepted papers will either be presented within the research track or as part of the main conference track-depending on whether the implications of the contribution are mainly related to theory and/or practice. Authors of papers that are selected for presentations in the main conference track will be assigned a mentor who will advise and assist in adapting the presentation to suit a mixed audience of practitioners and researchers.
We are inviting innovative and high quality research papers as well as experience reports related to agile software development. Topics of particular interest in the conference include, but are not restricted to, the following:
