This book contains the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Software
Business ICSOB 2015 held in Braga Portugal in June 2015. The theme of the event was
Enterprising Cities focusing on a noticeable spillover of software within other industries
enabling new business models: Companies bundle their physical products and software services
into solutions and start to sell independent software products in addition to physical
products. The 16 full five short and three doctoral symposium papers accepted for ICSOB were
selected from 42 submissions. The papers span a wide range of issues related to contemporary
software business-from strategic aspects that include external reuse ecosystem participation
and acquisitions to operational challenges associated with running software business.
