Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - SEAFOOD for Thought Headline-grabbing though it may be, the software industry's large-scale allo- tion of work to developing countries has not so far generated much technical analysis. Attention is usually limited to the possible political and economic c- sequences, in particular the fears of loss of employment in the West. The aim of the present volume is di erent. We recognize that o shore development is here to stay, and not just a result of cost considerations. It is - more accurately - a form of distributed development, relying on advances in communications to let the software industry, in our globalizedworld,bene t from the wide distribution of human talent. But it is also the source of a new set of challenges, to which accepted software engineering principles and techniques have not completely prepared us. Producing high-quality software on time and within budget is hard enough when the QA team is across the aisle from the core developers, and the customers across the street; what then when the bulk of the development team is across an ocean or two The rst SEAFOOD - Software Engineering Advances For Outsourced and 1 O shore Development - conference (prompted by an earlier article ) was an - tempt not only to bring software engineering to outsourcing but also to bring outsourcing into the collective consciousness of the software engineering c- munity. This is bene cial to both sides: successful outsourcing requires strong softwareengineering guidance, but researchin the eld must for its part account forthenewworldofsoftwaredevelopment.
