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: Norman E. Gibbs ARPAnet: gibbs@sei.cmu.
