       *  14th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE on SOFTWARE ENGINEERING  *
       *           Melbourne, Australia, May 11-15, 1992         *
       ***********************************************************
        Sponsored by: ACM SIGSOFT, IEEE TC-SE, IEA, ACS, and IREE



The goals of ICSE are 1) to present the most current and outstanding 
theoretical, experimental, and practical work being conducted in support 
of software engineering, and 2) to provide a forum to observe and discuss 
the state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice of software engineering.
ICSE will offer a variety of presentations: tutorials, refereed 
papers, panels, tools demonstrations, and abstracts.

SUBMISSIONS:

REFEREED PAPERS are limited to 6000 words, with full-page figures
	being counted as 300 words. Each paper should include a short 
	abstract, list of keywords, and lead author's address.  The 
	content of these papers should not have been published before 
	nor currently being considered for publication elsewhere. 
	Refereed papers will be evaluated with respect to originality, 
	significance, soundness, and clarity. Papers presenting research, 
	experimental, or experience results are welcome. Research papers 
	should indicate how the results contribute to software engineering 
	practice.  Experimental papers should describe the experimental 
	method and interpret the results in terms of practice.  
	Experience papers should describe practical experience with 
	state-of-the-art software engineering methods or tools and, 
	most importantly, assess the costs and benefits resulting from 
	their use.  All papers should indicate what is new and significant 
	about the work presented and how it compares with related work.  
	Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings.  For 
	each accepted paper it is expected that at least one author will 
	attend the conference to present the work. The program committee 
	will select the best accepted papers to be considered for 
	publication in a major journal.  

PANEL PROPOSALS should include the title, a brief description, the panel 
	chair and panelists (including short vitae).  Proposals will be 
	selected according to the substance and contributions to the 
	conference program.

ABSTRACTS should be no more than 2 pages in length and may report on 
	any relevant topic from new results to experience.  Abstracts will 
        be selected on the basis of interest and overall contribution to 
	the conference program.  Copies of the abstracts will be 
	distributed at the conference and authors will be given time to 
	make a presentation about their work.

Eight (8) copies of PAPERS,  PANEL PROPOSALS, and ABSTRACTS should be 
submitted by SEPTEMBER 6,1991 to Program Co-chair, Lori A. Clarke.
(See address listing below.)

TUTORIAL PROPOSALS should describe the software engineering methods 
	and/or tools that will be covered. Proposals should include a 
	detailed description of the proposed full day tutorial and the 
	relevant experience of the tutor.  Proposals will be selected 
	according to their substance and contribution to the conference 
	program. Eight copies of tutorial proposals should be submitted by 
	SEPTEMBER 6, 1991 to Tutorial Co-Chair, Dewayne E. Perry.  (See 
	address listing below.)

TOOLS FAIR PROPOSALS should represent current experimental and
	commercial state-of-the-art tools and include a brief description 
	of the tool and the planned demonstration, indicating if a 
	presentation is desired.  Exhibits and presentations will be 
	selected on the basis of their importance, relevance, and novelty. 
	Tools Fair proposals should be submitted by JANUARY 31,1992 to 
	the Tools Fair Chair, John Leaney. (See address listing below.)

FURTHER INFORMATION: For further information and/or a copy of the advance
	program when available, write ICSE14, IEEE Computer Society, 1730
	Massachusetts Ave., NW. Washington, D.C., 20036 USA. Some travel
