2. DSD – Distributed Software
Development

3. DSD – Distributed Software
Development
• It aims to help companies to:
– Be closer to local markets
– Find local talents
– Speed up development cycle
– Reduce developments costs
Do we have evidence these expected
benefits are been achieved?

4. DSD – Distributed Software
Development
• Challenges:
– Communication
– Coordination
– Collaboration
– Delays
– Language barriers
– Etc…
So why do companies keep using this
business model?

5. DSD – Distributed Software
Development
• Research challenges:
– Local cultures and perspectives
– Language barriers
– Access to remote sites
– Budget to remote on-site studies
– Etc…
How to overcome them?

6. SECO – Software Ecosystems

8. SECO – Software Ecosystems
• A software ecosystem is a set of actors functioning
as a unit and interacting in a shared market for
software and services, based on a common
technical platform or market.
(JANSEN et al., 2009)
• Software ecosystem consists of a set of software
solutions that support and automate activities and
transactions of actors who are associated with a
social or business ecosystem.
(BOSCH, 2009)

11. SoS – Systems of Systems
(European Commission)

12. SoS – Systems of Systems
• General characteristics:
– Operational independence of constituent systems
– Managerial independence of constituent systems
– Geographical distribution of constituent systems
– Evolutionary development of the SoS
– Emergent behaviors of the SoS

13. SoS – Systems of Systems
• Software-intensive System-of-systems refers
to a set of organizational, managerial
independent constituent systems, mainly
coordinated by software systems, and
collaborating among them to comply with a
comprehensive, new mission in a dynamic
context with regard to the environment, the
constituents, and even the mission.
[Nakagawa, 2014]

14. SoS – Systems of Systems
Publication Distribution through Years

Application Domains

15. SoS – Systems of Systems
• Some challenges:
– Adequately deal with SoS software architectures.
– Investigate how better developing SoS for diverse
domains.
– Propose solutions to different types of SoS.
– What are the fundamental challenges we need to
address in the Software Engineering Community?
