Resumo


Apesar da crescente discussão e preocupação com o tema, a diversidade de gênero nas Ciências Exatas e Tecnologia ainda requer atenção e tratativa. Foi observado por diversos autores que a diversidade de gênero ainda não está presente de forma significativa nas equipes de desenvolvimento, apesar do seu efeito positivo nos negócios. Com a crescente demanda de softwares que atendam as necessidades de negócio complexas surgiu o conceito de Ecossistemas de Software (ECOS). Este projeto de pesquisa visa investigar como o comportamento humano é afetado pela presença ou ausência da diversidade de gênero em ECOS proprietário e estratégias para promover a diversidade de gênero neste ambiente.
