                                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:
