Unleashing the Business Potential of Software: A Summary of the Third International Workshop on Software-intensive Business

摘要

Software-intensive companies face the challenges of changing demands, rapidly evolving technology, and dynamic business ecosystems, which urge them to rethink their business models to benefit from current and future technological trends. These challenges pose interesting and significant research problems that require multi-disciplinary approaches. The International Workshop on Software-intensive Business (IWSiB) aims to bring together different research communities working on relevant topics, to jointly investigate the challenges, and to bridge the gap between these communities. The third IWSiB featured two keynote talks contemplating the business of quantum computing and the trend and impact of public cloud services. Seven research presentations both hit the main research themes, e.g., platforms and software startups, and address new topics such as product roadmapping, and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) enabled by Blockchain. The participants suggested other interesting topics for future workshops, including the impact of AI on software business, and new software-driven business models.
