CALL FOR PAPERS

The 29th IEEE Conference
on
Software Engineering Education and Training

http://paris.utdallas.edu/cseet16

Sponsored by
IEEE Computer Society
Dallas, USA
April 5-6, 2016


Software engineering (SE) has been a term in the lexicon for
almost 50 years, and yet a definition that is clear and acceptable
to everyone still eludes us. This does not stop the drive to
educate and train new software engineers across the globe. With
the proliferation of various kinds of software-intensive systems,
the challenge continues to not only define but also foster the
software engineers most capable of contributing to real-world system
development and evolution. The ideas, methods, techniques, and tools
used to educate people who can develop and maintain software systems
to meet schedule, cost and quality constraints have been the focus
of the CSEE&T conference series. In 2016, we aim to assess SE
education over the past 50 years and also rejuvenate it by addressing
questions such as "What is next?" Along this line, we seek educators,
trainers and practitioners to present the latest methods, processes
and tools that they use to foster predictable software engineers in
a rapidly changing and unpredictable environment.

Various process models and organizational recommendations have been
proposed. In SE education, some of these find an easy entry into
classrooms; others cannot realistically be employed in student
projects. Practitioners can bring credible experience to the classroom,
but students must also gain their own experience. They must learn how
to accommodate constraints such as limited budgets, deadlines and
imperfect facilities as well as how to work with professionals in
other disciplines who are also a vital part of a project team.
Additionally, students must understand the importance of communication
throughout a software life-cycle as a whole. This includes communication
with their peers, other practitioners and managers on their project,
and stakeholders who often have distinct backgrounds and concerns.
Consequently, CSEE&T 2016 focuses on teaching collaboration,
communication, team formation, and other skills needed by software
engineering practitioners in the context of modern software system
development. Innovative approaches are particularly welcome.
