Abstract
The 2019 International Conference on Software and System Processes (ICSSP 2019) was held in conjunction with the 41st International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2019) in Montreal, Canada, May 25-26, 2019. ICSSP is a leading international forum for research on software and systems processes{the 2019 conference extended a sequence of predecessor conferences and workshops stretching back more than a decade. Although ICSSP has often been associated with ICSE and “in cooperation” with ACM, 2019 was the first year that ICSSP was operated under a full co-located event agreement with ICSE and was fully sponsored by ACM and IEEE. ICSSP 2019 was organized, as usual, by the International Software and Systems Process Association.
The theme of ICSSP 2019 was “Hybrid and Evolving Processes for Software and Systems.” To address this topic, ICSSP 2019 brought together researchers and practitioners representing 16 countries. The technical program consisted of 21 papers presented in sessions on Agile Processes, Hybrid Processes and Teams, Incremental Development, and other topics. The conference included a keynote presentation by Philippe Kruchten on “The End of Agile as We Know It.” The conference also saw the introduction of its first-ever Doctoral Track, intended to give in-progress graduate students an early welcome into the ICSSP community.
