“…This contest is carried out in the context of a DOSE course, teaching GSD. There exist several courses similar to DOSE, teaching globally distributed software development (GSD), whose results have been reported previously [11,12,10,1]. These include the works reported in two editions of the CTGDSD workshop [4].…”

The importance of planning and management skills in software development is very difficult to convey in software engineering courses. We present the synopsis of an assignment whose purpose is to demonstrate the significance of such skills, including effective communication, team coordination and collaboration, and overall project planning. The assignment is organized in the context of a distributed software engineering course carried out in collaboration with 12 universities in South America, Europe and Africa. The assignment is a globally distributed contest issued before most development activities related to the course's software project are performed, aiming at favoring the collaboration between students prior to project development. The contest does not involve any programming, and is not related to the project development activities. Instead, it consists of making teams in different countries compete in collaboratively solving a set of very simple tasks. The complexity of the activity is in team collaboration and coordination, and their lack is evident when the tasks are not correctly solved, or not solved in time. Despite the simplicity of the assignment, students have found it useful in helping them understand the significance of management and planning challenges in distributed software development. Moreover, the assignment helped in team building, by creating a better team atmosphere and contributing in identifying team members better suited for management.

“…Such experiences can help provide for a smoother second year, in turn allowing for the exploration of particular Software Engineering concerns, practices or working arrangements. For example, outsourcing the development of a well-defined software component and then integrating it into an evolving software system [8].…”

Abstract. Since 2005, Pace University in New York City has been collaborating with the Institute of Technology of Cambodia and the University of Delhi in India to bring students together to work on globally distributed software development projects. Over this period, we have been exploring models through which graduates and undergraduates from the three countries can work together, with pedagogical value to all sides. In 2007, we converged on using Software Quality Assurance as a focal point around which to establish a partnering and mentoring relationship. We included seven graduate students, as internal mentors and external auditors, to help assure the quality of what was to be a single distributed project involving twenty-seven students from across the three global locations. To focus further on quality, requirements and testing activities were emphasized. The motivation, logistics and experiences from this project are reported in this paper, and lessons of wider applicability are provided.

“…The Cambodian students therefore acted as clients and the US students acted as developers [14]. In 2006, Indian students from the University of Delhi became involved and worked as sub-contractors for the US developers [12]. In 2007, we added some extra dimensions.…”
