SEKE '98 Tenth International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering June 18-20, 1998 Hotel Sofitel, San Francisco Bay, USA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: * Knowledge Systems Institute, * University of Pittsburgh. SCOPE The Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering has for nine years been providing a unique, centralized, forum for academic and industrial researchers and practitioners to discuss the application of either software engineering methods in knowledge engineering or knowledge-based techniques in software engineering. Preference will be given to papers that emphasize on the transference of methods among both engineerings; however, outstanding papers on software engineering or knowledge engineering alone are also being solicited. SEKE'98 will feature four half-day tutorials on June 17, followed by a three-day technical program consisting of parallel tracks which will include paper sessions, panels, and workshops. An exhibition of software engineering and knowledge engineering tools is planned. Paper presentations will be approximately 20 minutes each with 5-10 minutes for questions and discussion. Submissions of proposals to organize a session, a panel or a tutorial are also being solicited. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suggested Topics of Interest Topics include but are not limited to: * Knowledge Acquisition * Requirements Elicitation * Software Domains Modeling * Software Process Modeling * Automated Software Design * Software Architecture * Automated Reasoning * Knowledge Representation * Program Understanding * Software Reuse * Reserve Software Engineering * Intelligent CASE Tools * Formal methods * Validation and Verification * Education ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Session, Panel, Tutorial Proposals Sessions, Panels and Tutorial proposals should include a two or three-page summary containing the title, proponents, contact information, abstract, description and the background of the proponent. Four copies of the proposal are to reach before December 1, 1997 to: SEKE'98 Knowledge Systems Institute 3420 Main Street, Skokie, IL 60076, USA Email: seke@ksi.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper Submissions Papers must be written in English. Please send four copies of the complete manuscript with a 200-word abstract and no more than 25 pages of double-spaced text (including figures and references) before January 20, 1998 to: Dr. Yi Deng School of Computer Science Florida International University University Park Miami, FL 33199 USA Phone: (305)348-3748 Fax: (305)348-3549 E-mail: deng@cs.fiu.edu All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings. In addition, a few selected best papers in knowledge engineering and AI areas will be considered for publication in IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering (subject to peer review), and best papers in software engineering areas will be published in a special issue of The International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates Submissions Deadline: January 20,1998 Notification of Acceptance: March 1, 1998 Camera Ready Copies Due to: March 21, 1998 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PC Co-Chairs Yi Deng, USA Mark J.
