1st International Workshop on Virtual Teams: Experiences in Global Software Engineering (VirtuES)
August 26th, 2013, Bari, Italy
|
in conjunction with
|
Background
Today, working together with colleagues in different locations as virtual teams is common - be it in distributed software projects, as much as in R&D projects or manifold business processes in companies across all industry sectors. Thus, "working in a team" has in many cases a global context in today's world. Improving effectiveness and efficiency of virtual teams is therefore an increasingly business-critical issue - and a complex one, since it has many aspects:
- Establishing, managing and controlling such teams
- Tools supporting coordination, information sharing and communication
- Task assignment and team alignment
- Motivation, culture, and human factors
Goal
The workshop targets discussion of empirically based and/or empirically validated experiences that help to increase efficiency and effectiveness of virtual teams and/or increase the quality of their outcomes.
The participants will present and discuss project experiences, best practices, tool prototypes and new approaches - in academic research and in industry.
