Distributed So-ware Development Challenges
• Global Challenges – Out of sight, out of mind – Technical barriers – Physical barriers– space & =me – Language barriers – Cultural Challenges
• Local Challenges – Cultural Challenges

Sense for 8me
• Swedish Students
• European Students (Italian, Croa8an)
• Asian Students
Worklaod during the project
• Swedish
• Italy, Croa8a
• Asian
How to make such course working?
• Administra8ve & Organiza8onal Challenges • Pedagogical Challenges • Technical Challenges • Cultural Challenges
Avoiding Scylla and Charybdis in Distributed SoCware Development Course –ICSE 2011 CTG-‐DSD workshop
Administar8ve & Organisa8onal Challanges
• Course approval • Joint student enrolment • Credits the students obtain in the course • Examina7on elements • Course quality assurance • Administra7ve course support • Staff workload
Cultural Challenges
• Language differences • Communica7on characteris7cs • Timing issues • Agreement and Commitment • Teamwork • Different views of teaching staff
Heterogeneity Challenges
• Different knowledge background • Different expecta8on about workload • Different expecta8on of giving credits
How to avoid the risks?
• Tac8cs – Force students to start to communicate – Force students to keep to communicate – Avoid situa8on that students complain about other side
– Explain many 8mes that you mean what you say – Mo8vate students – Remove extremely bad students

Individual Group
Internal meeting new people and cultures, learning new things
team atmosphere, responsibility, project success
External grade customer support, challenging project
Individual Group
Internal personal attitude, overload
respecting deadlines, low quality work, communication issues, lack of enthusiasm
External lack of time documentation, technical issues

Well, how did it go??? • Example
– We par8cipated in a contest – Interna8onal conference on So-ware Engineering
– 50 groups par8cipated
MDH/FER
Well, how did it go??? Phase I Seminfinals:
Phase 2: Final:
Final
Vancouver
Final -‐ Vancouver
Two years a-er – Interna8onal conference on So-ware Engineering
– 60 groups par8cipated
7 groups From MDH/FER/ Sofia U
How did it go this year??? Phase I Seminfinals: 18 teams passed (6 MDH/FER S. U)
Phase 2: Final:
From educa8on to research • Wri8ng a proposal for research funding
– Goal: Improve global educa8on (global so-ware engineering educa8on)
– Aspects: • Technical & processes • Cultural & social • Ethical aspects
• Project – Analyze state of the prac8ce – Propose methods for improvements
From educa8on to research • Research Ques8ons
– How to tailor course elements (lectures, project work) to ac8ve best results
• Which elements and which processes are the most important for a successful performance of a distributed project
• Which tools and which way of their use give the best results – Which cultural/social factors have to be processed explicitly and systema8cally to achieve an efficient project work
– Which ethical principles are important to take into educa8on to achieve a successful work
Research Methods
• Similar to empirical SE – “Ac8on Research” – par8cipa8on and observa8on – Experiments – different groups performing in different ways
– Quan8ta8ve analysis (ques8onnaires, measuring results)
– Qualita8ve analysis (interviews, “narra8ve” communica8on)
Conclusion
• Distributed So-ware Development (Glbal So-ware Engineering) Educa8on – Increasing in Europe – Important to understand the differences in pedagogical approaches
Interdisciplinary research
