Call for Papers

Nowadays, software infuses every aspect of our society, in business, government, education, pleasure and even at home to support our daily tasks and to plan and manage our future. We increasingly demand and relay on software for almost every aspect of our life and therefore, we expect it to be available, reliable, safe, secure and usable, despite our own mobility, unpredictability and changing needs. As a result, the discipline of software engineering has a highly significant effect on our economies and societies in many ways.

The task of developing software poses increasing challenges for software engineering teams, who are themselves distributed, perhaps mobile, have varied skills and often speak varied languages. The discipline of software engineering must address these challenges through the development and refinement of innovations, new techniques, practices and tools that build upon sound engineering principles. Moreover, the ubiquity of software means that the discipline of software engineering is also expanding.

Proposals to organize a special topic session should include the following information: name and address, e-mail of proposer, title of session, a 100-word description of the topic of the session, and a short description on how the session will be advertised.  Usually, session proposers solicit papers from colleagues and researchers whose work is known to the session proposer.
