Cooperative and human aspects of software engineering (CHASE 2008)

ABSTRACT

The CHASE 2008 workshop is concerned with exploring the cooperative and human aspects of software engineering, and providing a forum for discussing high-quality resarch. Accepted papers reflect the diversity of the field of software engineering--ranging from requirements to testing, and from ethnographic research to experiments. Moreover, the background of attendees reflects the diversity of researchers in this domain, ranging from sociology to psychology, from informatics to software engineering. CHASE 2008 met its goals in presenting high-quality research and building community through a mixture of presentations, discussions, posters, and social activities.
