Introduction
Today, there is a growing need to evolve more intelligent software systems in order to respond to increasing complexity and sophistication of automating human tasks. There is indeed the need for ‘smart’ software systems in virtually all fields of application ranging from business, commerce, engineering, science, arts, medicine and much more. Software need become more intelligent. Additionally, it is also essential that these intelligent software applications are made deployable on diverse platforms such as mobile, web, and grid. It is believed that these kinds of systems can only be realized when innovative problem solving concepts and technologies from the field of Artificial Intelligence are integrated into the software development process to produce intelligent software systems or intelligent components wrapped in software.

The Conference and Workshop is intended to provide a forum for exchanging experience and ideas among researchers and practitioners who are concerned with the need to develop more intelligent software systems. It is out to harvest emergent ideas, concepts, theories, tools, technologies, algorithms, process models, hybrid methodologies that would engender the development of high utility intelligent software systems in various fields of application.

SEIS 2010 Workshops
The following workshop tracks will run during the SEIS 2010 conference:
• SEIS Workshop Track on Soft Computing Techniques. – 3 sessions.
• SEIS Doctoral Symposium – 3 sessions.
• SEIS Workshop Combined Tracks on Strategic IT-Planning, etc – 3 sessions.
• SEIS Workshop Track on: Semantic Technologies, Web 3.0 Applications and Semantics-based Computing – 3 sessions.

Call for Doctoral Proposals
The 2010 SEIS Doctoral Symposium provides a forum for both early and late-stage PhD students, working on foundations, techniques, methods and tools in the area of Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence, to present their research and get detailed feedback and advice. The main objectives are to:
•Provide a forum whereby students receive constructive feedback from other researchers on their research and guidance on future directions.
•Provide students with a forum for building a network of other PhD students as well as with more senior researchers.
•Assist PhD students to practice writing clearly and to effectively present their research proposal.
•Assist students in the selection of an adequate research methodology for their PhD work.
•Build bridges for potential research collaboration which will provide PhD students with an opportunity to present and to discuss their research with senior researchers in a constructive and friendly atmosphere.
