Software Engineering Networking Experience. 1st International Workshop, WSSENE 2006. Proceedings

In the last years, many national and some European initiatives have been started that aim at transfer and exchange of experience on several software engineering related aspects. Some of the aforementioned initiatives have been successful like the national German VSEK project (www.software-kompetenz.de), others failed to achieve sustainability or other key performance indicators. The objective of the 1-day workshop is to foster the exchange of experience with regard to the set up and operation of networking activities in the area of Software Engineering. A special focus is on experience regarding measures that have been implemented in order to foster the exchange in the very networks and to assure sustainability. Reports on lessons learned should also comprise quantitative as well as qualitative indicators that have been observed in order to assess success. The workshop aims at collecting a comprehensive list of successful as well as less successful implementations of the various measures, either on technical, social, or process level. The 1st Workshop on Software Engineering Networking Experience takes place in conjunction with EuroSPI 2006 Conference in Joenssu, Finland.
