Proposals for Future WorkProposals for Future Work
Development of a methodology guidebook for how to design and analyze empirical studies
ISERN data base with measurment data and procise definition/classification of the experiment
Inclusion of simulation as an additional source to get insight ("experiments in virtual world supplementing or predecessing experiments in real world")
New topics of experimental work: Component-based software development Empirical studies into how to coordinate distributed development teams Empirical case-study comparing productivity of XP and "normal“ development processes
