ICGSE (International Conference on Global Software Engineering) is an international conference on Global Software Development that has taken place since 2004. In previous years it has been held in cities like Bari or Shanghai, and the host city designated for the tenth edition of ICGSE in 2015 is Ciudad Real, this being the first time that the conference has been held in Spain.

Software engineering in a global context implies a key competitive advantage for today’s software and IT industries. However, the increasing globalization of software development creates challenges resulting from the impact of time zones, cultural diversity, communication and distance. This requires new techniques and practices that will be effective in achieving productivity targets and expected quality.

The 10th International Conference on Global Software Engineering (ICGSE) brings together researchers and practitioners who are interested in finding solutions to the challenges of distributed software development.

The Industry Day has been established as the day on which companies will come to speak about their experience as regards Global Software Development. Industries are encouraged to share their knowledge and lessons learnt at the conference in the following category:

• Industry Submission.
  

  Industry experiences can be submitted by means of an abstract, maximum 2 pages (IEEE Letter-size two-column format) plus a short biography of each author’s background and his/her interest in this field. The authors of those abstracts that are accepted will be invited to give an oral presentation at an industrial experience session at the conference. Abstracts should be submitted electronically via via EasyChair by April, 26, 2015. Participants will be notified by April 30, 2015. Camera ready copy will be expected by May 7, 2015.

The authors of any presentations that are accepted should note that they will be published in a second volume of the conference proceedings that will be distributed to participants, and subsequently made available in the IEEE digital library; a “permission to publish” form will need to be signed by the authors or their organizations.
