<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Both the software engineering and the CSCW communities
recognize that </DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">software development is a collaborative activity, and
much recent </DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">research has begun to appear in this domain. In
this full-day </DIV>

software development </DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">with an emphasis on tool support and a focus on
large-scale projects </DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">such as open source, commercial, and government

we seek to </DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">increase awareness and knowledge of current social
issues of software </DIV>

support </DIV>
