The distributed development of information systems as well as their deployment and operation in distributed environments impose new challenges for software organizations and can lead to business advantages. In distributed environments, business units collaborate across time zones, organizational boundaries, work cultures and geographical distances, something that ultimately has led to an increasing diversification and growing complexity of cooperation among units. The real-world practice of developing, deployment and operation of information systems in globally distributed projects has been viewed from various perspectives, though technical and engineering in conjunction with managerial and organizational viewpoints have dominated the researcher’s attention so far. Successful participation in distributed environments, however, is ultimately a matter of the participants understanding and exploiting the particularities of their respective local contexts at specific points in time and exploring practical solutions through the local resources available.

Suggested topics that this workshop will endeavour to address include, but are not limited to, the following:

Distributed development of information systems

Software engineering methodologies and processes for distributed development of information systems

Agile methods for distributed development of information systems

Information system architectures suited for distributed development

Organizational and business views

Strategic issues in distributed development of information system

Management of risks such as organizational and cultural differences

Task allocation in distributed development of information system

Communication and collaboration in globally distributed teams

Knowledge transfer, knowledge management strategies and informal sharing in distributed development of information systems

Impact of cultural and geographical differences in distributed development of information system

Cognitive issues in distributed development of information systems, their deployment and operation

Empirical evaluations of effectiveness of distributed information systems projects

Infrastructure required for distributed information systems

Methods and tools for distributed information systems: requirements engineering, architecture, design, coding, verification, testing and maintenance

Quality, process and configuration management for distributed information systems
