********************* Call for Paper (ICSE98) ******************* FORGING NEW LINKS The 20th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE98) in Kyoto, JAPAN April 19~25, 1998 Sponsored by Science Council of Japan Information Processing Society of Japan Japan Society for Software Science and Technology IEEE Computer Society,TCSE ACM Special Interest Group on Software Engineering Corporate Sponsors (Tentative) Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Inc. For more information: http://icse98.aist-nara.ac.jp/ e-mail:icse98-info@itc.aist-nara.ac.jp The annual International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) is the leading forum for the exchange of ideas on all aspects of software engineering. ICSE98 invites you to submit work to share with the ICSE community. ICSE 98 encourages submissions from the many perspectives that contribute to the whole of Software Engineering. We particularly encourage papers addressing topics wherein software engineering issues play a key role, but where those topics have not been highlighted in previous ICSEs. We encourage discussions of both the process and outcome of research concerning design, engineering, development, installation, use, and maintenance. Different classes of contributions are sought, ranging from research papers to lessons and status reports from software engineering organizations. The ultimate goal is to build a rich and comprehensive conference program that can fit the interests and needs of different classes of attendees: professionals, researchers, managers, and students.
