Abstract

The following position paper outlines a software development course project for a semester long class on distributed software development. The developed application was an Android based facial recognition application which returned the name and contact information of people in a picture. Students from Iowa State University in the US, Jilin University in China, and the Federal Universidade da Bahia in Brazil participated. Challenges and solutions that were part of the development process as well as recommendations for future classes are provided.
