Call For Papers - CFP

Track 1: Principles and practice of software engineering

Research in principles and practice of software engineering spans various dimensions. Software engineering is a creative design activity which must be practiced systematically. Thus, we need to increase our confidence in our development efforts by emphasizing the need for rigor as a necessary complement to creativity in this discipline.

The main topics of interest for this track include but will not be limited to the following.

Development practices and approaches

Software Development Tools and Infrastructure

Software Project Management

Software Process

Requirements Engineering

Software Architectures & Design

Software Security

Testing & Quality assurance

Software Economics

Software Measurement

Validation and Verification

We also welcome excellent surveying works in these areas.

Track 2: Applied computing techniques

The area of applied computing ideally concentrates on classic and leading edge computing concepts to provide solutions to real world problems that impact individuals, groups and companies. Thus, this area applies to various computing spheres.

Focus areas in this track include, but are not limited to, the following:

Artificial Intelligence

Agent-based Technologies

Decision-support Systems

Scheduling and Optimization Techniques

Database Systems

Evolving Data Structures

Genetic Programming and Fuzzy Logics

Programming Environments

Distributed Systems

Real-time Systems

Web Technologies

Mobile Technologies

Testing Verification and Validation of varying applications

ICT for the Developing World

Track 3: Industrial session on software process improvement

Adopting best practice in the development of software products is strategic to organizations that have software development capabilities and which regard software as an important aspect of their business. Thus, research trends as well as experiences from industry on this critical aspect are solicited.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Defining and documenting software processes

Measuring software processes

Evaluating software process capability and effectiveness

Planning and managing software process improvement projects and programs

Building the requirement management process

Mastering the software product lifecycle

Software project management and planning

Effective risk management techniques

Agile software development methods

Balanced scorecard

Software measurement and analysis

The agile software review process

Six Sigma approaches to software process improvement

Track 4: Innovations in Education

An essential prerequisite for the advancement of research in this area is the early recognition that high-quality research practices and a sound educational system are essential. Academia continuously proposes models that enhance industrial efficiency and growth, but mechanisms of demonstrating how these models are integrated in the operational environment are still lacking. The goal of this track is to examine impediments in teaching cutting-edge techniques in Software Engineering and Applied Computing and to identify how the educational activities in this area can be improved.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Innovative instructional technologies

Evaluation and assessment techniques

Application development environments and frameworks

Use of Open source tools in software engineering courses

Integration of agile practices in software engineering courses

Industry-academia collaboration models

Accrediting long-distance postgraduate degrees in software engineering

Integrating industrial case studies

Corporate continuing education and training

Professional, ethical, and legal issues in software engineering education

Integrating technical writing in software engineering courses

Integration of research results into software engineering courses

Forming learning communities among undergraduate and graduate students

E-learning
