Theme: Software for Improving Quality of Life The theme for APSEC 2010 is “software for improving quality of life”. We celebrate software development for the common good and the improvement and access to services, including: improving Healthcare systems; enhancing passenger safety in transportation systems; improving access to education and training; enhancing security and the protection of individuals; understanding and protecting our environment; and recreation and entertainment innovations.
Topics of Interest: The Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference is dedicated to all aspects of software engineering. We welcome contributions that address the theme of “software for improving quality of life” and other topics of interest. For a list of topics of interest, please see: www.apsec2010.com
Research Papers: Authors are invited to submit full papers describing original research in all areas of software engineering. Papers describing theoretical or empirical research, new techniques and tools, and in-depth case studies are all welcome. Submissions should be original and must not have been published previously or currently be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Research paper submissions will be peer reviewed based on originality, technical quality and relevance to the field of software engineering. As in previous years, we expect that the APSEC proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. One author from each accepted paper is required to register as a full-fee delegate and present the paper at the conference. All submissions must be written in English and must be prepared in the IEEE 8.5x11 inch two-column format. Manuscripts may not exceed 10 pages in length. Manuscripts are to be submitted electronically - see the APSEC 2010 submission page for further instructions.
Industry Papers: The objective of industry papers is to discuss experiences (both good and bad), obstacles, and lessons learned when applying innovative software development practices in the ‘real world’. Experiences from practitioners provide valuable input into future research directions and allow others to learn from successes and failures. Industry papers are an important way of sharing experiences between practitioners and of helping the software industry improve its work practices. We invite submissions of either extended abstracts (1-2 pages) or full papers (up to 10 pages) describing practical experiences in all areas of software engineering. Industry papers should be based on actual practice, and should cover all aspects of the experience - strengths and weaknesses, successes and challenges. Submissions will be assessed on originality, clarity, significance and relevance. One author from each accepted industry paper is required to register as a full-fee delegate and present the paper at the conference. All papers are to be submitted electronically - see the APSEC 2010 submission page for further instructions.
Tutorials and Workshops: Tutorial and Workshop proposals that have appeal to the software engineering community are sought for APSEC 2010. Tutorials and workshops (half or full day) will run on the first day of the conference. Please submit your proposals detailing the topic, background, intended audience, anticipated number of attendees and justification for this estimate, presenters and their affiliations, along with anticipated time requirements following the guidelines on the APSEC 2010 tutorials and workshops page.
Doctoral Symposium: Following on from the First Software Engineering Postgraduates Workshop at APSEC 2009, we plan to organise a Doctoral Symposium at APSEC 2010. Details about submission will be available from www.apsec2010.com.
