			  Call for Papers

      THIRD SEI CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING EDUCATION
		     PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA
			 JULY 17-18, 1989

The  SEI  Conference on Software Engineering Education is an annual
conference  that  brings  together  educators  from   universities,
industry  and government to discuss issues of mutual interest, with
the goal of promoting educational  improvements	 for  the  emerging
discipline of software engineering.

The  program  committee invites papers and proposals for panels and
special sessions on all aspects of software engineering	 education.
We  are	 interested in discussions of successful experiences at any
level (industrial, undergraduate, graduate) and	 on  any  pertinent
topic.	  We are particularly interested in papers and proposals in
the following areas:

   - Industry Education Issues: How should in-house  education
     and  training  be	structured  to be most cost-effective?
     What is an effective mix of in-house, vendor, university,
     and  technology-based  education  and  training?  How can
     education and training be integrated with process	groups
     or other technology transfer mechanisms?

   - Teaching  Large Systems Issues: How can concepts of large
     software systems be taught within the constraints of  the
     educational  setting?    Can  the	objectives of reuse be
     extended from the level of algorithms and data structures
     to	 the realm of large systems architectures?  How can we
     teach  the	 team  cooperation  and	 communication	skills
     required for building large systems?  How should we teach
     system integration testing?

   - Foundations for Software  Maintenance:  What  disciplines
     and  principles underlie the skills required for software
     understanding and modification?  How can these skills  be
     taught  and  their	 importance  communicated early in the
     curriculum?

   - Teaching  Issues  of  Embedded  Systems:  What  are   the
     foundations   and	 principles  of	 embedded,  real-time,
     distributed, and concurrent systems?  How	can  these  be
     taught   in   a   personal	  computer-based   educational
     environment?

All papers will be refereed.  The proceedings will be published	 by
Springer-Verlag	 in  its  Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
Authors should submit five copies of complete  papers  by  February
10,  1989.   Notification of acceptance or rejection of papers will
be sent March 10, 1989.	  Final	 versions  of  accepted	 papers	 in
camera-ready form must be received by April 17, 1989.  Authors will
be asked to sign a copyright release form.

Papers, proposals and requests for additional information should be
addressed to:
