Presentation

The Workshop on Distributed Software Development (WDDS) is a forum for researchers, students, and practitioners discussing problems and solutions related to Distributed Software Development (DSD) techniques, methods, tools, environments and processes. Therefore, WDDS is a workshop about theoretical fundaments and practical experiences of adopting DSD in academic and industrial projects.

State-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice advances are expected for the exchange of contributions, opinions and debates. Thus, the WDDS has the purpose of generating knowledge and exchanging experiences in DSD. In the context of the workshop, DSD spans organizations, countries, time zones and even continents.

In the fifth edition, WDDS is being organized as a co-located event of the 2nd Brazilian Conference on Software, which is annually sponsored by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC). This conference aims at gathering together researchers, students and practitioners from Brazil and abroad in order to present and to discuss topics related to the state of the art in Software Engineering.

This year the workshop is being organized by the Universidade de São Paulo (USP) and by Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul University (PUCRS).

Looking forward for seeing you in São Paulo!
