Global Software - Software Design

The scope of this project is the development of a joint research effort together with the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM), particularly the IITM’s Rural Technology and Business Incubator (RTBI), which will explore how Participatory Design (PD) methods and especially software engineering methods promoting use‐orientation in development need to be appropriated in a culturally different setting.Because the development and usage of software is now globalized, the methods and tools used to design and develop software needs to incorporate this global nature of software.

The project was a network project.
