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 including, but not limited to:

•Requirements Engineering
•Software Architecture
•Software Development Methods
•Software Testing, Verification and Validation
•Program Analysis and Understanding
•Software Maintenance and Evolution
•Software Metrics and Measurement
•Software Processes and Quality
•Software Performance Engineering
•Software Security, Safety and Reliability
•Agile Software Development Methods
•Software Engineering Environments and Tools
•Empirical Software Engineering
•Model Driven Architectures
•Service Oriented Architectures
•Object and Component Based Software Engineering
•Cloud Based Software Systems
•Software Reuse
•Product Line Engineering
•Formal Methods
•Agent-Based Software Engineering
•Web-Based Software Engineering

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.
