Building on the success of XP2000 and XP2001, the Third International
Conference on eXtreme Programming and Agile Processes in Software
Engineering will be a forum to discuss theories, practices,
experiences, and tools on XP and other agile software processes, like
SCRUM, the Adaptive Software Process, Feature Driven Development and
the Crystal series.
XP2002 will bring together people from industry and academia to share
experiences and ideas and to provide an archival source for important
papers on agile process-related topics. The conference is also meant
to provide information and education to practitioners, identify
directions for further research, and to be an ongoing platform for
technology transfer. The conference will include technical
presentations, panels, poster sessions, activity sessions, workshops,
and tutorials.
