The first conference on "Chaos and Agile In Action"

The first edition of the Agile Tour attracted over 800 participants in 7 cities in France and Switzerland, all at no cost for attendees!

This unique event, which combined local networking with a fun way to learn about agile, was highly appreciated and will therefore be extended another year. For these second edition, we would like to launch agility in the research world and we propose a scientific open-issue about agility viewed as new foundation of Software Engineering, Knowledge Management, and Learning Organization.

The conference will be held at the University of Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense, October 15, 2009 afternoon. There is view as a mixed event between practitioners and scientific members.

More information about these events are available on Agile Tour web site.

Call for Papers

Agile software development refers to software development methodologies which conforms to the twelve principles formulated by the Agile Manifesto. Agile methods generally promote:

• a disciplined project management process that encourages frequent inspection and adaptation,
• a leadership philosophy that encourages teamwork, self-organization and accountability,
• a set of engineering best practices that allow for rapid delivery of high-quality software,
• a business approach that aligns development with customer needs and company goals.

Therefore, the declaration of interdependence for modern management increase the reuse of a large part of previous concepts and extends it for other types of management. Then the agile posture becomes a standard which can be studied according to several points of view.

The main goal of this conference is to communicate about agility in action in several domains. Contributions on software engineering or process methods are welcome, but not limited in theses fields.
