BCS Manchester Branch is supporting RISE (Researching Industry-based Software Engineering) North West, a new forum for academics and practitioners interested in applied software engineering, agile methods and digital technology.
Our aim is to create opportunities for researchers and practitioners to network, identify trends and build consensus on areas of common interest. Our long term goal is to become a significant focus for applied software engineering and industry collaboration with Universities in the north west of England.
We are soliciting presentation proposals based on previously published work, position papers or experience reports. Topics of interest at the workshop include all aspects of applied digital technology and software engineering with a particular focus on:
• Conducting empirical studies with industry, public and third sector stakeholders
• Large-scale and legacy projects
• Agile (Scrum, lean, Spotify, etc.) methods, projects, culture and organisation
• Global software engineering
• Human aspects and values in software development practice
-----------------------------------------------------------
Submissions
We are soliciting three types of contributions.
Research Presentation Abstracts
• One page abstracts should include a summary of: context, problem, research methods, findings and conclusions.
Experience Report Abstracts (must include one or more authors from industry)
• One page abstracts should include a summary of: context, problem, best practices, lessons learned and conclusions.
Research Directions
• One page abstracts for practitioners to make the case for researchers to tackle specific problem areas or challenges.
Submission Instructions
Submissions are through EasyChair, in IEEE two column conference format. Submission templates are available from
