			 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:
