Call for Participation
    
                                IWSEPPA
    
       International Workshop on Software Engineering in Post-PC Age
                24 August, 2000; Beijing, China

This workshop is a co-located event of the International Federation for
Information Processing, World Computer Congress of 2000 (IFIP WCC2000),
under the sub-conference, International Conference on Software: Theory and
Practice (ICS2000), 20-25 August, 2000, Beijing.

Motivation:
Since 1987, Software Engineers Association (SEA) of Japan has been
conducting a series of international technical symposia in China in the
Autumn every year: China-Japan Software Symposium (1987-90), International
CASE Symposium (1991-95), and International Symposium on Future Software
Technology ISFST since 1996. 

This Workshop (IWSEPPA) is a prelude for ISFST within ICS2000. 

The computing environment around us has been changed rapidly and will keep
changing in future. The widening coverage of the Internet and also exploding
application of micro-electronic technology will also bring heavy impact on
the environment for software development and management in the coming
century. Maybe it is necessary for us to reconstruct the framework of
software engineering somehow.

This workshop aims to provide an opportunity to discuss about possible
changes in software engineering in the near future for researchers,
engineers and managers who are interested in practical application of
software engineering.

Themes:
The main discussion themes of the symposium is ;
- impacts of the Internet on software development and management
  - possible shapes of future software development environment
  - ideas of new tools and/or methods for coming century
  - innovative concepts and/or technologies for new application domain
Organizing Staff:
	IWSEPPA Workshop Co-Chairs:
		Prof. Yuqing Gu (ASTI Beijing, China) 
		Mr. Akira Kumagai (PFU, Japan)
	ICS2000 PC Members in charge of IWSEPPA:
