SERVICES & SYSTEMS GLOBALIZATION

Today, the current trend to globalization is undoubtedly one of the major 
factors influencing business processes and, consequently, computer systems. 
This very trend, which impacts software applications and systems at various 
levels, calls for a continuous growing need for adaptation to technical 
environments, but also to uses and contexts, be it at the level of 
enterprise or of the individual user. This trend also finds its expression 
by an increasing need for more and more distributed systems, for better 
quality of service as well as systems cooperation and interoperability.

If mastering software technology is necessary for project success, 
integrating smoothly systems in global business processes remains a key 
factor, be it for a relevant understanding of systems’ goal or for a smooth 
adaptation of system uses and evolution.

With regard to the above trend, software and systems processes, methods, 
and tools ineluctably require novel approaches adapted to a global 
environment. Assuredly, this concerns system global life cycle, 
particularly requirements engineering, designing as well as testing and 
validating software & systems.

Lastly, in such a context, economical issues are of major importance, 
concerning not only design and development cost, but also exploitation and 
appropriation cost in terms of project global cost and ROI.

Organized by the Center for Mastering Systems & Software (CMSL) of CNAM 
(Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers), the 19th edition of the 
ICSSEA Conference (International Conference on Software & Systems 
Engineering and their Applications) will be held in Paris on December 5-7, 
2006. It aims at providing a critical survey of the current status of 
tools, methods, and processes for elaborating software & systems, in 
gathering actors from the enterprise and research worlds. However, lectures 
and discussions will be conducted with service and system globalization as 
a leitmotiv.
