SE 2012 - IASTED International Conference on Software Engineering ~SE ~

Software engineers require systematic approaches in order to develop complex large-scale systems and to integrate and migrate existing solutions. Software engineers need techniques to improve the software reliability, maintainability, performance and dependability, and methodological support to manage the development process effectively and productively. Those working in the field benefit from improved agility in order to respond to the changing requirements and demands and to focus the development process on quality aspects.

The shift towards software integration at higher levels of abstractions often makes traditional methods inadequate. The development of software systems in open and heterogeneous environments or software embedded into other technical systems demands advanced levels of dependability and security. New solutions are currently being sought to address novel software environments such as autonomic and ubiquitous applications. Services and mobile applications emerge as new types of organizational units.

Seeking solutions for the social, legal, and economic dimensions of software engineering meets the challenges of globalized development and integrates all stakeholders as participants into the development, deployment and maintenance process.

The Eleventh IASTED International Conference on Software Engineering (SE ) will provide a forum for in-depth and substantive discussion on the emerging technologies and methodologies being developed to overcome the challenges that exist in all areas of software engineering. All papers submitted to this conference will be double blind reviewed by at least two reviewers. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution. The conference chair makes the final decision on the acceptance or rejection of the paper.
