Open Source Application Spaces: The 5th Workshop on Open Source Software Engineering

Open Source Application Spaces: The 5th Workshop on Open Source Software Engineering, was held on 17 May 2005 as part of The 27th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2005). The workshop built on the success of the first four workshops in the series, which were held at ICSE 2001 (Toronto), ICSE 2002 (Orlando), ICSE 2003 (Portland) and ICSE 2004 (Edinburgh).

The overarching theme of this year's workshop is "open source application spaces." Specifically, the goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners for the purpose of building a roadmap of the ways in which various computing application spaces have been impacted by open source software and also by open source development methods, tools and organizational structures.
