Industry-Research Collaboration Working Group Results

During this working group, we gathered a set of guidelines for establishing and maintaining fruitful industry-research collaborations. We divided these guidelines into the collaboration phase (awareness, contact, setup, and research, as will be defined) and, within each phase, to whom the guideline applied (researchers, practitioners, or both). The agreed-upon deliverable from this session was for a subset of the group to submit a longer version of this report to IEEE Software or the Empirical Software Engineering journal as a set of guidelines.
