SwSTE'12 IEEE CS International Conference on Software Science, Technology, and Engineering Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Co-Sponsored by ILTAM User's association Call for Papers IEEE CS International Conference on Software Science, Technology, and Engineering June 12--13, 2012 Daniel Hotel, Herzlia, Israel www.iltam.org/swste2012 or E-mail: [log in to unmask] Scope: We are on the threshold of a major paradigm shift in the way we deploy and deliver software systems. Software delivery in the cloud and the pervasiveness of social networks and multimedia mobile services drive the demand for software technologies designed for massive-scale, non-homogenous, continuously changing environments. To address these requirements, modern software systems should be agile and scalable in almost every aspect. At runtime, dynamically changing availability; adaptive use of resources; mining of huge data sets; and flawless execution are required. During development, agile methods; rapid and continuous deployment; and consumerization of IT are becoming increasingly important. SwSTE'12 focuses on these trends and other topics in software engineering, technology, and science. It provides a unique opportunity for researchers, scientists, practitioners, and managers from Israel and abroad to meet and share their ideas, results, and experiences. Format: The two-day conference will include * keynote talks, presented by well-known software professionals, * focused track sessions, in which selected papers will be presented, * state-of-the-art tutorials, * a doctoral symposium, and * industrial track sessions, presenting case studies. A best paper award will be presented at the opening session of the conference. Topics of interest: The move to such massive-scale dynamic computing environments is changing software industry in multiple ways: new design and modeling methods are needed; testing of large-scale, data-intensive environments becomes ever more complex; virtualization, new middleware technologies, and new security challenges are growing in importance; and resource optimization and parallelism techniques should be adapted to the needs of modern software systems, which include power-aware, green systems. While a paper on any topic relevant to software practice and research will be considered, special emphasis will be given to papers reporting new results in software engineering, agile methods, cloud computing, embedded software development, and ways of exploiting new computing paradigms and architectures. Submissions and Participation: Papers submitted to the conference should contain original contributions. SwSTE'12's international program committee will select the papers to be presented. The SwSTE'12 conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society and will be included at the IEEE Digital Library. Submitted papers must conform to the IEEE two-column conference style. See the required template at: <http://www.computer.org/portal/web/peerreviewjournals/author>. Each paper is limited to ten pages. Papers are to be submitted electronically at: <http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=swste2012>. We look forward to your submissions and your participation.
