Abstract: This paper presents the application of a systematic review protocol for Software Engineering. This protocol is used as a formal model by applying systematic review of outsourcing contracts. The objective is to search for papers related to outsourcing contracts in the software acquisition process. Furthermore, the systematic review is focused in order to identify initiatives and reports of outsourcing contract proposals for the software acquisition. Results obtained show that most of the studies that tried to define a model for outsourcing did not exactly develop a fixed model to be used in the IT area and that there is a need for more in-depth studies.

Keywords: Outsourcing Contracts, Systematic Review.

ACM Classification Keywords: D.2.9 Software Engineering – Management, software process models
