ESELAW 07 aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to report on and discuss new research results in the area of experimental software engineering. It intends to bring together Latin America’s academic, industrial and commercial communities interested on Experimental Software Engineering and Empirical Studies. In this edition we join efforts with the Qualipso Project, a unique alliance of European, Brazilian and Chinese industry players, governments and academics to help industries and governments fuel innovation and competitiveness with Open Source software. In order to meet this goal, the QualiPSo consortium intends to define and implement technologies, processes and policies to facilitate the development and deployment of Open Source software components, with the same level of trust traditionally offered by proprietary software. QualiPSo is the largest ever Open Source initiative funded by the European Commission, under EU’s sixth framework program (FP6), as part of the Information Society Technologies (IST) initiative. This ESELAW edition will emphasize three perspectives: Open Source, Agile Methods and Experimental Software Engineering.
