Goal
Computer-based systems continue increasingly to pervade every aspect
of human activity. As this proceeds, the need to be sure that we can
provide safe, efficient, high-quality software for these systems at
acceptable costs in time and money, continue to assume increasing importance.
The practice of software development is a worldwide enterprise, with
nations and companies, both great and small,
and both established and emerging, all vying for leading positions. Breakthroughs
and improvements in the practice of software development, and the attendant competitive
advantages they will convey, will depend pivotally on progress in fundamental
software engineering research, and in effective education.
Thus, ICSE 2006 is dedicated to fostering progress in practice, research,
and education, and to creating a forum in which they can be interrelated
and encouraged to enrich each other. The ICSE series has for decades
been the premier international forum for researchers, practitioners and
educators to present and discuss the most recent ideas, innovations,
trends, experiences, and concerns in the fi eld of software engineering.
As has traditionally been the case, ICSE 2006 invites high quality submissions
in the form of papers describing original unpublished research results, meaningful
experiences, and novel educational insights.
Join us for ICSE 2006 in Shanghai for an experience that will combine
outstanding technical events with
a visit to a city and country that will be truly unforgettable!
Scope
Additional highlights of ICSE 2006 will be a Far East Experience track
dedicated to examining recent events and progress in software development
specifi cally in the Far East environment, and an Achievements and Challenges
track that will focus on critical issues in past software engineering
research achievements and deep, enduring research challenges. As in the
past, proposals for Tutorials, Workshops, and Research Demonstrations
are being solicited. Submissions for short paper and poster presentations
are invited for participation in the Emerging Results session. A Doctoral
Symposium will also be featured, as well as the New Software Engineering
Faculty Symposium (NSEFS 06). Topics of interest to the organizers of
ICSE 2006 include, but are definitely not restricted to:
- Software requirements engineering
- Software architectures and design
- Software components and reuse
- Software testing and analysis
- Theory and formal methods
- Computer supported cooperative work
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Software processes and workflows
- Software security
- Software safety and reliability
- Reverse engineering and software maintenance
- Grid software
|
- Software economics
- Empirical software engineering and metrics
- Aspect-orientation and feature interaction
- Distribution and parallelism
- Software tools and development environments
- Software policy and ethics
- Programming languages
- Object-oriented techniques
- AI and Knowledge based software engineering
- Mobile and ubiquitous computing
- Embedded and real-time software
- Internet and information systems development

Location and Venue
ICSE 2006 will be held in Shanghai, China, the epicenter of one of the
fastest-growing software communities in the world. Shanghai is a fascinating
and invigorating blend of both the dazzlingly ultramodern and the charmingly
traditional. The conference venue is the Shanghai International Conference
Center, located on the banks of the Huang Pu River which is continually
traversed with bustling traffic. The Conference Center looks across the
river to the historic Bund, a row of buildings built by the European
powers at the turn of the 20th century, and to a modern city intermixed
with the
considerable charm of the ancient Chinese culture and traditions.
