Upcoming Events
ACM-SIGMIS Computer Personnel Research 2009 – 28th May 09
Recent research has shown that globally distributed software development is not the solution that it promised to become, as the software industry is beginning to appreciate that outsourcing and globally distributed development are not as simple as they appear. The report on Globalization and Offshoring of Software by the ACM Task Force on Job Migration states that recent trends in outsourcing and the threat to move IT work to even lower wage locations have raised concerns about future job security among IS professionals everywhere. These trends and consequent concerns, not just in the UL. SIGMIS CPR 2009 welcomes submissions that address these issues or any others related to the conference theme or to the other establised topics with Computer Personnel Research.
