Software engineers require systematic approaches in order to develop complex large-scale systems and to integrate and migrate existing solutions. Software engineers need techniques to improve the software reliability, maintainability, performance and dependability, and methodological support to manage the development process effectively and productively. Those working in the field benefit from improved agility in order to respond to the changing requirements and demands and to focus the development process on quality aspects. The shift towards software integration at higher levels of abstractions often makes traditional methods inadequate. The development of software systems in open and heterogeneous environments or software embedded into other technical systems demands advanced levels of dependability and security. New solutions are currently being sought to address novel software environments such as autonomic and ubiquitous applications. Services and mobile applications emerge as new types of organizational units. Seeking solutions for the social, legal, and economic dimensions of software engineering meets the challenges of globalized development and integrates all stakeholders as participants into the development, deployment and maintenance process. The IASTED International Conference on Software Engineering (SE 2010) will provide a forum for in-depth and substantive discussion on the emerging technologies and methodologies being developed to overcome the challenges that exist in all areas of software engineering. All papers submitted to this conference will be double blind reviewed by at least two reviewers. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution. The conference chair makes the final decision on the acceptance or rejection of the paper. SE 2010 will be held in conjunction with the IASTED International Conferences on: · Artificial Intelligence and Applications (AIA 2010) · Modelling, Identification and Control (MIC 2010) · Parallel and Distributed Computing and Networks (PDCN 2010) · Software Engineering (SE 2010) · Signal Processing, Pattern Recognition, and Applications (SPPRA 2010) · Computer Graphics and Imaging (CGIM 2010) · Biomedical Engineering (BioMed 2010) 会议出版物及索引 所有会议录用论文将被收入由ACTA出版社出版的会议论文集, 此论文集将送交下列检索机构检索, 如: EI工程索引 剑桥科学文摘 会议录引文索引 卡尔斯鲁厄专业信息中心 物理学,电子技术及计算机控制技术情报服务中心 已出版的会议论文, 如进一步修订与完善, 将被选入与ACTA 出版社相关的国际期刊中发表。
