Revision as of 16:19, 6 July 2009

CSEE&T2010 will provide numerous opportunities for academic and industry participants to interact and learn from each other. The program will feature a number of coordinated tracks including research and experience paper presentations, panel discussions, workshops, tutorials and the ASEET. We invite quality, original papers from all Software Engineering education and training providers, covering the conference theme and related topics.

Topics of Interest

The 2010 Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training (CSEE&T2010) focuses on how to assemble a community of educators and practitioners, passionate about making a difference in developing curricula to meet the needs of tomorrow while maintaining quality, standardization and effectiveness in classrooms today. Balancing industry needs while teaching enduring principles to students and practitioners will be discussed through creative teaching strategies, tools, methodologies and content/learning approaches. Submissions may address all areas of curriculum development, empirical studies, personal or institutional experiences, conceptual or theoretical work, with emphasis on the following topics:

• Education theory and pedagogy

• Curriculum and teaching materials (either in general or related to specific SE areas)

• Learning environments

• Performance evaluation and assessment

• Issues of eLearning for SE

• Software engineering professionalism

• Education & training for current SE practices

• Internship and projects for students and graduates

• Case studies of educational or training practices

• Industry-academia collaboration models

• Project management for SE

Submission Categories

We invite you to contribute to this premier conference by submitting to any of the categories below:

Research Papers

Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research in all areas of SE education and training. Papers describing theoretical or empirical research, new techniques and tools, novel interpretation and in-depth case studies are all welcome. Submissions should be original and should not have been published previously or currently be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Paper submissions will be reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical quality and relevance to the field of software engineering education in accordance with IEEE requirements.

As in previous years, the proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. One author from each accepted paper is required to register as a full- fee delegate and present the paper at the conference.

Experience Reports & Short Papers

The objective of experience reports is to discuss results (both good and bad), obstacles, and lessons learned associated with education and training for SE from the perspective of practitioners in industry or government. Such "real world" experience shared with educators provides valuable input into future directions for education and allows others to learn from successes and failures.

Short paper submissions that address software engineering education and training topics are also invited. Short papers may discuss an idea at an early stage, or a promising idea that may lack complete evaluation.

Each accepted experience report and short paper will be presented by an author in a conference session, and will appear in the IEEE digital library. The abstract only of short papers will appear in the conference proceedings.

Posters

Emerging ideas for research, teaching practice, or tools can be presented as posters. The posters are evaluated based on their originality and the possible future contribution to the field of SE Education & Training. Submissions from students are encouraged.

Workshops & Tutorials

Workshop and Tutorial proposals that have practical appeal to the SEE&T community are sought. These enable participants to exchange experiences and opinions, or learn more about a topic relevant to the conference theme. Please submit your proposals detailing the topic, theme and goals, intended audience and the preparation required of them, presenter/s and their affiliations. Activities and format along with anticipated time requirements should also be provided.

Panels

Panel sessions allow the audience to interact with panelist who provides an engaging, informative and entertaining discussion of a timely topic from multiple perspectives. Please submit your proposals detailing the topic and how it meets the needs of the CSEE&T audience, biographies and position statements of each of the panelists and a biography of the proposed moderator.

Birds of a Feather

A Birds of a Feather (BoF) session provides a gathering place and discussion forum for those interested in the same issues and concepts. BoFs can be organized for sharing ideas on specific topics, narrow or broad. These are not workshops or sessions where people present papers, but open, "brainstorming" forums for attendees who want to get together with others to share their current interests, goals, technology, environment, or backgrounds. BoFs are popular because of their interactive and flexible format and the fact that they offer attendees and technology experts an opportunity to interact at a peer level.

If you want to organize and run a Birds of a Feather session, please send a descriptive proposal to the workshop chair.

Topics will be evaluated on the basis of their promise to engage a significant number of the conferences participants in a fruitful discussion. Possible examples include:

(TENTATIVE LIST)

1. Project based learning in SE.
2. e-Learning in SE.
3. Educating for a globalized software development.

While we would welcome BoF organizers for the above topics, the purpose of this CFP is to ask you to propose topics around which a community of interested researchers would coalesce at CSEE&T2010. We are explicitly not looking for marketing or recruiting sessions; however, commercial entities are encouraged to propose sessions on current technical issues.
