> Free/open source software (F/OSS) products and processes (development
> methods and practices) are being adopted on a global basis throughout
> the software community. However, it is unclear whether the enthusiastic
> adoption of F/OSS processes is justified or not. Specifically, it is
> unclear what processes and practices are specific to, or characteristic
> of the development, deployment, use, or evolution of F/OSS systems. This
> special issue of Software Process - Improvement and Practice seeks
> papers that investigate F/OSS processes from a variety of perspectives
> and approaches. We are particularly interested in empirical studies of
> F/OSS processes found in different F/OSS projects, as well as studies
> that employ tools and techniques for studying, mining, or modeling F/OSS
> processes through analysis of F/OSS source code, development artifacts,
> computer-mediated communications (public discussion forums, chat
> archives, Wikis/Blogs), Web sites, and public repositories.
> 
> Potential topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
> - F/OSS development, deployment, usage, or evolution processes within or
>   across F/OSS projects
> - Processes associated with the diffusion, adoption, assimilation, and
>   tailoring of F/OSS innovations in different communities
> - Socio-technical, economic, or cultural processes that shape the
>   development, adoption, or evolution of F/OSS systems, or the career
>   opportunities of F/OSS developers
> - Studies that compare F/OSS and conventional, "closed source" software
>   engineering processes in different project settings
> - Development or reuse of F/OSS technologies, processes, and practices
>   in support of commercial software products or services
> - Studies of development and evolutionary trends across large samples of
>   F/OSS projects
> - Tools and techniques for discovering, modeling, simulating, analyzing,
>   enacting, redesigning, or improving F/OSS processes found in different
>   F/OSS projects
> - Processes that typify the success or failure of F/OSS projects
> 
> Schedule:
> - Abstract submission (required): 15 February 2005
> - Full paper submission: 1 March 2005
> - Expected publication: Winter/Spring 2006.
> 
> Manuscripts should be in the range of 6000 words or 30 pages,
> double-spaced and with figures included. Prospective authors are advised
> to consult the guidelines "For Authors" at the SPIP Web site at
> Wiley-Interscience. Authors are also encouraged, where appropriate, to
> consider prior studies of F/OSS published in the Information Systems
> Journal 11(4), 2001, 12(1), 2002; IEE Proceedings-Software 149(1), 2002;
