This is the fifth symposium dedicated to the future software technology, which has been held in China since 1996. It is organized by SEA (Software Engineers Association of Japan), UNU/IIST (International Institute of Software Technology of United Nations University), Guizhou University (China), and Guizhou Academy of Science (China). The symposium will bring together researchers, practitioners, and educators in the leading-edge software technologies.
Usually, ISFSTs have been held in October-November period. But, this year's sympsosium will be held in August as a satel- ite event of ICS2000 (one of the conferences within IFIP2000 Congress in Beijing scheduled in the week of August 20-25). Also, a pre-symposium workshop titled as IWSEPPA (Interna- tional Workshop on Software Engineering for Post-PC Age) will be held on August 24 in Beijing within the framework of ICS2000.
The theme of the ISFST2000 is: "Software Technology Catering for 21st Century".
The unique feature of the ISFST symposium is that the program includes informal but intensive working-group style discussion sessions besides regular paper presentations. In the case of ISFST2000, the second day of the sympssium will be assigned for full-day working-groups.
Submissions for a full paper or an extended abstract should be received no later than May 15, 2000 by one of the Program Chairs (mailing addresses are on the back page):
Submissions should contain the type of the submission (Full [5000 words] or Extended-Abstract[1500 words]), title, author names and their affiliation and address, abstract, and a list of keywords, followed by the text. Electronic submissions (postscript or Word RTF) are welcome. Six copies are required for paper submission in case of surface mail. Submissions via FAX are not accepted. All submissions should be accompanied with cover-sheet information electronically sent to the Pro- gram Chair. The e-mail must include: title, author names, abstract, a list of keywords, the type of the submission (full paper or extended abstract) and the corresponding address of the first author (name, postal address, e-mail address, and phone and fax numbers).
Paper selection will be based on originality and contribution to the topics. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings if it is presented by theauthor at the symposium. Acceptance notice will be sent to the first author by June 15, 2000. Authors of accepted papers will be required to submit their camera-ready electronic copy by July 20, 2000.
Proceedings of ISFST2000 will be printed as the 2nd Volume of ICS2000 together
with papers for IWSEPPA.
