SEW-31 Call for Papers

31st Annual Software Engineering Workshop

Loyola College, Baltimore, MD, USA

6-8 March 2007

Part of Systems and Software Week (http://www.systemsandsoftwareweek.org/), co-located with:

  • EASe 2007: Special Session on Autonomic and Autonomous Space Exploration (AA-SES-3)

Sponsored by:

  • IEEE Computer Society, Technical Council on Software Engineering

Background

The 31st Annual Software Engineering Workshop, the longest continually running Software Engineering event in the world, will be held at Loyola College, Baltimore, Maryland, 6-8 March 2007, as part of the 3rd Systems and Software Week.

Scope

The workshop aims to bring together NASA technical staff, contractors, academics and industrial practitioners interested in the advancement of software engineering principles and techniques. The workshop provides a forum for reporting on past experiences for describing new and emerging results and techniques, and for exchanging ideas on best practice and future directions. Of particular importance is relevance to NASA’s mission and goals, and how techniques might be applied, or adapted for use, at NASA, or how NASA’s techniques might be used or adapted for more generic use.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Metrics and experience reports
  • Software quality assurance
  • Formal methods and formal approaches to software development
  • Software engineering processes and process improvement
  • CMM and CMMI
  • Requirements engineering
  • Software Architectures
  • Real-time Software Engineering
  • Software maintenance, reuse, and legacy systems
  • Agent-based software systems

Submissions

Long papers (maximum 10 pages in IEEE format) and short industrial/governmental experience reports (maximum 5 pages in IEEE format) are sought for inclusion in the conference program and publication in the post-proceedings which will be published by IEEE CS Press. All submissions will be reviewed for originality, relevance, and technical detail. At least one author per paper will be required to register and present at the workshop. Papers not presented will not be included in the proceedings.

All submissions must be made in electronic format (.doc, .pdf or .ps formats only), via the conference electronic submission site.

Publication

All accepted papers will be published in the conference post proceedings, published by IEEE CS Press. Some authors will also be invited to submit a revised version of their paper for inclusion in Innovations in Systems and Software Engineering: A NASA Journal (Springer).
