_Description_
A major challenge for software engineering is to coordinate many
individuals, whose work is heavily depending on each other. This
enormous complexity often results in error-prone products. Minor
mistakes can already have major side-effects impacting the entire
software product. For individuals, the challenge is to focus on their
own tasks, however, obeying certain design principles and without losing
sight of the overall target. Therefore, we argue that software
engineering is a highly collaborative process. However, we lack
knowledge in general how to collaborate successfully. Consequently,
there is also still a lot of potential for teaching and improving
collaboration in software engineering education.
_Objectives_
The aim of this workshop is to address the problematic, how
(e-)collaboration can be taught and fostered in the field of software
engineering. The awareness that cooperation and (e-)collaboration are
cornerstones for high-quality software products shall be augmented among
software engineers. The aims of the workshop are to:
* connect researchers in the area of software engineering, cooperation
and (e-)collaboration, team learning and team performance,
well-being within work groups and foster the connection between the
topics and areas
* raise and discuss relevant questions regarding software engineering
and (e-)collaboration in an interdisciplinary context
* transfer answers to specific questions into research papers
As more exchange between the various research disciplines is needed, we
invite participants from all related research areas to submit a position
paper (max. 3-5 pages), addressing the following questions:
* What are the main obstacles to teaching cooperation and
(e-)collaboration?
* How can cooperation and (e-)collaboration in software engineering
education be fostered?
* How can we overcome the fundamental tensions between the
individual's and the group's interests?
* Are there best practice examples (for instance, pair programming)?
All the accepted position papers will be included in the Proceedings of
the Conference and archived to IEEE Xplore(TM) and the IEEE Computer
Society (CSDL) digital libraries.
