Ninth IEEE International Conference on Global Software Engineering (ICGSE) 
Fudan University, Shanghai, China 
August 18-21, 2014 
http://www.icgse.org 

Globally collaborative software and IT industries are bringing huge opportunities for each and every country all over the world. Shanghai, as the economy and finance center of China, has a rapidly developing industry of software and information technology. ICGSE 2014 will be held in Crowne Plaza Shanghai Fudan, a luxury five-star hotel. It will be a good place to meet researchers and practitioners from all around the world who are interested in GSE topics.

Practice: Global Software Engineering addresses real-world challenges, and so we especially seek industry knowledge. We invite industrial participants to share observations and experiences in the conference by publishing papers and making presentations.

Research: We invite academic researchers to submit papers discussing GSE research and GSE education. Papers with empirical evidence are encouraged and will be given preference.

Get ready to share your thoughts and ideas! Submit your papers, now!

Main Theme: Global Software Development and Engineering - Trends and Evolution 

Globally collaborative software and IT industries are bringing huge opportunities for each and every country all over the world. The diversity of culture and the dispersion over time and space require novel techniques, tools, and practices from many disciplines to overcome challenges and to take advantage of all the opportunities. 

The 9th International Conference on Global Software Engineering (ICGSE) brings together researchers and practitioners interested in solving the challenges of distributed software development. ICGSE 2014 invites academic and industrial individuals and teams to contribute to the fast growing field of global software development and engineering. 

Practice: Global Software Engineering addresses real-world challenges, and so we especially seek industry knowledge. We invite industrial participants to share observations and experiences in the conference by publishing papers and making presentations. 

Research: We invite academic researchers to submit papers discussing GSE research and GSE education. Papers with empirical evidence are encouraged and will be given preference.
