SEKE 2018 - International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE 2018)

The Thirtieth International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE 2018) will be held at the Hotel Pullman, San Francisco Bay, USA, from July 1 to July 3, 2018. SEKE2018 will also be dedicated in memory of Professor Lofti Zadeh, a great scholar, pioneer and leader in fuzzy sets theory and soft computing.
The conference aims at bringing together experts in software engineering and knowledge engineering to discuss on relevant results in either software engineering or knowledge engineering or both. Special emphasis will be put on the transference of methods between both domains. The theme this year is soft computing in software engineering & knowledge engineering. Submission of papers and demos are both welcome.

SPECIAL ISSUE OF IJSEKE JOURNAL
The best ranked papers from the conference will be selected for a special issue of the International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (IJSEKE) in memory of Professor Lofti Zadeh to be published in December 2018 for early dissemination.
CO-LOCATED CONFERENCE
The Int'l DMS Conference on Visualization and Visual Languages (DMSVIVA2018) (ksiresearchorg.ipage.com/seke/dmsviva18.html) will be held at the same hotel from June 29 to 30, 2018. Authors are welcome to contribute papers and attend both conferences.
