20th Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training 3-5 July, 2007

The 20th Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training will be held in the School of Computing, Dublin City University, Ireland during the 3-5 July, 2007.

CSEE&T deals with the educational and training issues involved in ensuring that graduates and company staff are able to develop quality software in a cost-effective manner. Started in 1987 by Norm Gibbs at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), the Conference on Software Engineering Education & Training (CSEE&T) has become the premier annual conference focusing on education and training in software engineering. The conference has received the sustained support and sponsorship of IEEE - Computer Society, academia and industry. Responding to the global impact of software engineering practices, CSEE&T was held in Spain in 2003 and Canada in 2005.

Keynote speakers will discuss the software engineering scene and related educational and training developments in P.R. China (Prof. Yulin Wang), the nationally recognised graduate training programme at Fidelity Investments (Marie Moloney), and underlying dilemmas in software education (Prof. David Parnas). Globalisation is a particular focus this year, with twenty-six countries involved in the forty refereed papers being presented. Panel sessions, workshops and other events provide many further opportunities for the exchange of ideas.

Starting with CSEE&T 2006 in Hawaii, an Academy for Software Engineering Education and Training (ASEE&T) has been added to the program.
