IMPORTANT DATES
* Paper submission deadline: 15 April 2011
* Author notification: 3 June, 2011
* Camera-ready version due: 20 June 2011

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

The goal of this conference series is to bring together both African and international researchers in the field of ICT to share ideas, problems and solutions in Software Engineering and Applied Computing, and specifically with regard to the use of new and emerging technologies to address socio-economic challenges. Thus, creating an opportunity both for academics and practitioners from industry to discuss recent progress in this area.

To this end, we invite submission of original research reports, work in progress, and reports that detail how specific technologies are applied in industry and to what extent they are effective and relevant.
These can either be normal or short papers.

Short papers can discuss new ideas that are at an early stage of development.

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
? The proceedings of this conference will be indexed in the IEEE Digital Library.
? The Best paper and Best Student paper award will given by IEEE Software.
Post-conference proceedings will be included in the Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series published by Springer. This will be for only selected papers.
LOCATION
The conference will be held at Cape Town Ritz Hotel, South Africa
