*** Final Call for Papers - Extended Deadline ***

Submission Deadline (extended): April 11, 2016

(Due to many requests, an extended and final deadline has been given)

The SoMeT conference series highlights and reflects the state-of-art and
new trends on software methodologies, tools and techniques. The
conference is focused on exploring innovations, controversies, and
challenges facing the Software Engineering community today. The
conference brings together theory and experience to propose and
evaluate solutions to Software Engineering problems. The conference
also provides a forum and an opportunity to assess the current
state-of-the-art in Intelligent Software techniques and to chart
software science initiated from experience to theory. This event is
an opportunity for us in the software science community to think about
where we are and today and where we are going.

You are invited to participate in SoMeT 2016 to help build a forum
for exchanging ideas and experiences to foster new directions in
software development methodologies and related tools and techniques.

The conference is focused on, but not limited to the following areas:

· Modeling and Simulation in Operations Management
· Software application in Logistics and Supply Chain Management
· Requirement engineering, especially for high-assurance system, and requirement elicitation
