SwSTE 2010 continues the tradition of the previous SwSTE Conferences. Our biennial conference series brings together researchers, scientists, practitioners, and managers from Israel and abroad to meet and share ideas. The conference program attempts to balance between the interests of these diverse groups. This is reflected in the unique format of the SwSTE conferences, and the wide spectrum of issues covered, combining current best practices and future trends into a multi-faceted, software-centric conference.
The first day of the conference includes keynote addresses, panel discussions, six sessions of technical paper presentations, two tracks of industrial and business related presentations, and a Doctoral Symposium. The second day includes five half-day tutorials, facilitated by leading experts, who present in more detail topics that are of great interest to the community.
Last conference, the international Program Committee selected 15 out of 32 submitted papers in all areas of Software, from modeling and requirements, through aspect- and object-oriented development and software implementation, to software projects management and web applications (SwSTE2007 program).
SwSTE 2007 was a successful, professional and high quality, non-commercial conference, which had an enriching program that included variety of subjects and an excellent combination between industry and academia, closing with integration between technology and society presented in the closing panel.
We expect SwSTE 2010 to be an enriching experience, which will blend current best practices and future trends into a multi-faceted, software-centric conference, as the last SwSTE conferences.
