Abstract

Software development organizations are changing from traditional enterprise or open source teams to decentralized, inter-reliant, multi-scale ecosystems of software developers. This transformation presents novel challenges and opportunities to those seeking to understand, evaluate, support, and influence these organizations. The goals of this workshop are to bring together researchers who are interested in the evolution of software development organizations, highlighting the role of collaboration technology, such as crowdsourcing, social media, software hosting, and application marketplace services, in shaping organizational transformation, and coordinating future efforts.
