Software engineering and its applications

The eleventh international conference on software engineering and its applications will be held in Paris, France, from 8 to 10 December 1998. It will be organised by the Centre for Mastering Software and Systems (CMSL) under the sponsorship of the European Software Institute, and will provide a critical survey of tools, techniques and methods for engineering complex systems, in which software acts as both consolidator and integrator.

The main issues relating to mastering development, integration, quality assurance and the safety of software and systems will provide the focus for discussions during the conference. A wide range of topics will be addressed under the following session headings:

- Software architectures;
- Process improvement experiments;
- Formal methods;
- Requirements engineering;
- Testing and quality assurance;
- Re-use and components;
- Metrics;
- Project management;
- Specifications;
- Systems engineering.

A panel discussion on software engineering as opposed to systems engineering and the differences between the two will close the conference. In addition, an associated Canada-Europe R&D partnering event will be held in parallel with the conference. This will have the objective of fostering joint technology development projects between Canada and Europe.
