General information
The 13th International Conference on Agile Software Development, XP2012, is a leading international conference on agile methods in software and information systems development. XP2012 will be located in Malmö in the southern part of Sweden with easy access from Copenhagen Airport in Denmark. The conference brings together both industrial practitioners and researchers in the fields of information systems and software development, and examines latest theory, practical applications, and implications of agile methods.
Research papers
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.
