5th International Workshop on Software-intensive Business
The 5th International Workshop on Software-intensive Business: Towards Sustainable Software Business (IWSiB 2022) bridges the gap between software engineering and software business research.
Keynote presentation for the workshop will be given by Associate Professor Birgit Penzenstadler from Chalmers University of Technology. The topic of her presentation is:
Software-intensive business supporting resilience and sustainability for people
Prof. Birgit Penzenstadler
This keynote takes a human-centered perspective on software-intensive business. We explore the concepts of resilience and sustainability in individuals and how that is supported through technology products and services. I highlight a few observed discrepancies in between the way how software-intensive business is currently carried out and what a sustainable and resilient global community could look like. I offer an intervention to reconciliate these discrepancies and put the human first in value-entered development.
DR. Birgit Penzenstadler
Birgit Penzenstadler is an Associate Professor at Chalmers University of Technology and an Adjunct Professor at Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology. She has been researching the relationship between software systems and sustainability for a decade, and recently focused on resilience by neuroplasticity techniques.

The global pandemic has shown, thanks to advanced software technologies, society and businesses were able to quickly respond to environmental disruptions. Software-intensive businesses had to quickly pivot their business model. Also, demands in software-based service offerings facilitating remote work drastically increased and challenged control modes of prior management practices. These exemplary challenges cannot be tackled by engineering or business disciplines alone. The 5th International Workshop on Software-intensive Business (IWSiB) aims to bring together research communities working on topics relevant to software-intensive business to jointly investigate these challenges and to bridge the gap between different research communities.
The workshop will facilitate knowledge exchange through discussions of issues and experiences, to improve research contributions through feedback from the wider community, and to develop new projects between researchers and practitioners. To this end, the workshop will be a mix of research work and industry experience presentations, interactive discussions and group activities, to maximize the potential synergy among the participants from different research and industry backgrounds.
Submission Guidelines & Themes
IWSiB seeks submissions describing novel research, experience reports, as well as emerging ideas. We are interested in studies describing original and unpublished results in the field of software-intensive business. The focus of the workshop is on new promising ideas and therefore work-in-progress reports are welcome to ignite discussion in the workshop.
The paper length should not exceed 8 pages for research paper submissions, and 2-4 pages for industry experience reports and position paper submissions.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited, to the following aspects of software-intensive business:
Software ecosystem (e.g., engineering ecosystems, analysis of ecosystem data, modeling of ecosystem structure and behavior, management of developer ecosystems and platforms)
Agile & lean projects & portfolio (e.g., methods & practices, management and organizing, behavioral and cognitive factors)
Organizational management (e.g., managing technical and social debt, integrating product and business development, managing human-AI symbiosis)
Software startups (e.g., scaling, privoting, funding, business models)
Software platform (e.g., orchestration, governance, architecture, evolution and lifecycle)
Software engineering economics (e.g., in engineering of software or in the software industry)
Emerging trends and research areas (e.g., implications of COVID-19 to the software industry, AI ethics, digital twins, etc. )

Submissions
We encourage submissions of contributions describing different stages of research, from position papers to full research reports. We welcome both research and industry papers. The workshop proceedings will be published in a separate volume of the ICSE proceedings, which will be prepared to be archived by ACM Library.
Template
All submissions must conform to the ACM’s formatting and submission instructions. Formatting instructions are available at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template for both LaTeX and Word users. LaTeX users must use the provided acmart.cls and ACM-Reference-Format.bst without modification, enable the conference format in the preamble of the document (i.e., \documentclass[sigconf,review]{acmart}). We encourage authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers.
The paper length should not exceed 8 pages for research papers and 4 pages for industry reports. It is not possible to buy extra pages.
Please also, note:
There is no limit on the number of submissions an author may submit, but authors are advised to focus on quality rather than on quantity.
By submitting to the IWSiB workshop, authors acknowledge that they are aware of and agree that papers submitted to IWSiB workshop must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere while under consideration for IWSiB workshop.
The official publication date of the workshop proceedings is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of ICSE 2022. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
Submissions will be first screened on rigor and relevance and then evaluated by at least three members of the program committee based on soundness, significance, novelty, verifiability, and presentation quality.
