Submission extension XP2013 Vienna: Call for Research and Experience Papers

Extended submission deadline: 25.1.2013

The 14th International Conference on Agile Software Development is a
leading conference on agile methods in software and information systems
development. XP2013 will be located in Vienna, Austria June 3-7. This
conference brings together industrial practitioners and researchers in
the fields of information systems and software development, and examines
latest theory, practical applications, and implications of agile
methods. For more information visit
http://xp2013.org/call-for-contributions/.

We allow submission as research papers as well as experience reports.

Research papers
===============
We are looking for original research, with implications for theory and
practice. Motivation for research and discussion of the related work
must be included, as well as a description of the research method
applied. Full papers are limited to 15 pages and short papers to 8 pages.

Experience reports
==================
We are looking for experience reports sharing experiences about the
business impact generated when introducing agile practices, and
challenges to be overcome as well as horror stories on failures
including lessons learned. Experience papers must be clearly marked as
such so that they can be appropriately reviewed by the program
committee. Concerning length and formatting, experience reports must
follow the same rules and guidelines as research papers.

If you would like to receive help from an experienced agile researcher
to shepherd you in developing a submission, please contact the PC chairs
([hidden email]) by the time indicated in the important dates list.
