5th International Workshop on Conducting empirical studies in industry (CESI 2017)

May 23, 2017, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Call for Papers :

There are numerous challenges, and rewards, in conducting empirical studies in industry. Challenges emanate from the multi-faceted complexity: in products, systems and services; development, evolution and management processes; vendor-customer models and relationships; organizational settings; business contexts and their dynamics; etc. Yet there are rewards for successful studies in terms of utility of the results for industry. This workshop builds on the results and momentum of previous CESI workshops held during ICSE (2013-2016). We seek for research contributions highlighting how research results are put into action in industrial settings and how much cross company learning takes place through replication of empirical studies in different contexts. We are also interested in the impact of empirical studies conducted in industry, including successes and failures in the form of ‘lessons learned’. We also seek for papers that discuss empirical methods and how they can produce valuable results for industry, e.g., aggregation of empirical evidence into practical guidelines.
