The hosting organization was the Department of Computer and Information Science (IDI) from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. It is notable that this was the first time the PROFES conference was held in Norway, which is a country known for its advanced IT services and infrastructure. Norway is quickly becoming the hotspot of ICT development and innovations in Scandinavia. In the spirit of the PROFES conference series, PROFES 2016 focused on how the challenges of improving software devel- opment within the different practice areas such as requirements, design, construction, testing, maintenance, process, methods, management, etc. The conference has always encouraged submissions of research papers based on empirical evidence ranging from controlled experiments to case studies and from quantitative to qualitative studies. Thisyearwereceived82submissionsofwhich24wereselectedasfullpapersand 21 as short papers. The scientific works were strictly scrutinized by international Program Committee members. Scientific papers in the PROFES conference received three or four reviews each. Asanoveltyfor2016,weintroducedanewtrackfortheconferencecalled“Radical Challenge Track.” The intent was to draw ideas from the scientific and professional softwarecommunitieswhoaresearchingwaystobuildthenextparadigmforsoftware development.Thecontributionsinsuchatrackarelessscientificintheirnaturebutare argued ina compellingway.

Another topic in the academic circles in the past years, which also includes the PROFES community, is the participation of the industrial community in the discus- sions, presentations, and experience sharing. Since 10–15 years ago, the development has actually been heading in the opposite direction. Industrial practitioners appear to organize themselves organically among certain topics quite effectively and are less VI Preface keen in participating in classic scientific conferences. PROFES 2016 recognized this and organized tutorials on topics and themes of industrial interest. There were nine tutorials held on topics such as regulated software development, DevOps, lean start- ups, innovation, and software security. Scientific software engineering research needs industrial attention to survive and prosper. The keynote speakers this year were of high quality. Mikko Terho is the CTO for Mobile Software and the site manager of Huawei’s R&D center in Finland. As one of the founding board members of Symbian, at the time the leading open mobile operating system, Mikko Terho has had a significant influence on, and made a sub- stantialcontributionto,thedevelopmentofthemobileindustryasawhole.Hewasone of the few persons who were appointed as Nokia Fellow. Dag Sjøberg is Professor in Software Engineering and works at the Department of Informatics in University of Oslo in Norway. He is one the brightest software researchers around and has had a significant impact in the field. Dag Sjøberg sees that software systems form the foundationoftheeconomic,political,social,cultural,andscientificspheresofmodern information society. Such systems are, for example, crucial to solving global human- itarian and environmental problems. We are thankful for having had the opportunity to organize PROFES 2016 in Trondheim. The Program Committee members and reviewers provided excellent support in reviewing the papers. We are also grateful to the authors, presenters, and session chairs for their time and effort that made PROFES 2016 a success. We are especially thankful to Prof. Letizia Jaccheri, the head of the Department of Computer and Information Science at NTNU, for providing the conference with the financial backingandhelpingintheorganization.WewouldliketothankthePROFESsteering group members and organizations (University of Oulu, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Fraunhofer IESE) for the guidance and support in the organi- zation process. Finally, we would like to thank the NTNU IDI’s student and staff volunteersformakingPROFES2016anexperiencethatwillliveinthememoryofthe participants for years to come.
