CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

ICSSEA 2008
Software & Systems Engineering and their Applications

TELECOM ParisTech
December 9-11, 2008


Scaling up and Paradigm Shifts:
Are software & systems engineering ready for speciation?


Large dimensions, high complexity, self-management, and ubiquity 
characterize today’s computer systems. It is expected that these features 
will be emphasized and prevail in systems to come, whether they relate to 
civilian, governmental or business applications. They call for entirely new 
approaches for designing, implementing, validating, maintaining, and 
exploiting software intensive systems.

With regard to the enterprise computing space, an evolution much sought for 
is driven by the need to bring business and IT together, i.e. to shift 
control of processes from IT professionals to business experts in order to 
scaling up business process management to support process of higher complexity.

Concerning software engineering a new approach, Model-Driven Engineering, 
upon which it is based, no longer considers the source code as a central 
element of software, it is rather considered as an element derived from 
model units. More generally, the source code becomes an element derived 
from the fusion or interweaving of model units. This approach becomes more 
and more important in the context of software and hardware architectures 
driven by standards such as MDA (Model-Driven Architecture) proposed by the 
standards authority OMG, Microsoft's Software Factories or IBM's proposal 
of EMF (Eclipse Modeling Software) tools.

Co-organized by TELECOM ParisTech, CS, and the “Génie Logiciel” quarterly, 
the 21st edition of the ICSSEA Conference (International Conference on 
Software & Systems Engineering and their Applications) will be held in 
Paris on December 9-11, 2008. 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 the evolution of 
software & system engineering as a leitmotiv.
