Call for Participation
ISFST 2000
International Symposium on Future Software Technology 2000
August, 28-30, 2000
Guiyang, China
Sponsored by
Software Engineers Association (Japan), UNU/IIST (Macau)
Guizgou University and Guizhou Academy of Sciences (China)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the fifth symposium dedicated to the future software
technology in succession to the series of annual international
CASE Symposiums held in China since 1991. This symposium is
organized by SEA (Software Engineers Association of Japan),
UNU/IIST (International Institute of Software Technology of
United Nations University), Guizhou University, and Guizhou
Academy of Science.
Usually, ISFSTs have been held in October-November period. But,
this year's ISFST is scheduled in August as a satelite event of
ICS2000 (one of the IFIP Congress held in Beijing in the week of
August 20-25). Also, a pre-symposium workshop titled as IWSEPPA
(International Workshop on Software Engineering for Post-PC Age)
will be held on August 24 in Beijing within ICS2000.
The theme of the symposium is "Software Technology Catering for
21st Century".
From about 80 submissions, 44 papers were selected for technical
presentations, and 18 papers for working group sessions. One of
the unique features of the ISFST is that the program includes
informal but intensive working-group style discussion sessions
besides regular paper presentations. The selected topics of this
year's symposium are:
(1) Development Method
(2) Software Development Process
(3) Web based Information System
(4) HCI & CSCW
(5) Free Software & Open Source
Program committee decides to invite two distinguished keynote
speakers: Mr. Kouichi Kishida (SRA, Japan) and Prof. Ruqian Lu
(Academy of Science, China).
