An international program committee will review all submissions.

We are soliciting full and short research papers. Full papers are
limited to 15 pages and short papers 8 pages.  The goal of short
papers is to promote current work, research, practices, experiences,
and issues that are not at a sufficiently mature stage yet to be
submitted as full papers.  Formatting guidelines can be found through:
http://www.springer.com/series/7911. Papers not following the
guidelines will be rejected. The XP2012 conference proceedings will be
published in Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing
(LNBIP). The best papers will be invited to submit an extended version
to a special section of the Journal of Information and Software
Technology.
