Conferences Organized

1. 22nd IEEE-CS Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training (22nd CSEET 2009) held in Hyderabad from February 17 - 19, 2009. Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training seeks to answer the question: "As educators, how do we adjust our teaching to meet the personal preferences and technical challenges of the next generation of software engineers?" Started in 1987 by Norm Gibbs at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), CSEE&T has become the premier annual conference focusing on education and training in software engineering. The Conference offers an opportunity to educators and industry professionals to share and expand their knowledge of software engineering education, training, and professional issues. The conference has received the sustained support and sponsorship of IEEE - Computer Society, academia and industry. CSEET'09 is in India, hub for software services to the world. CSEET will be conducted at Satyam School of Leadership, Hyderabad, India. This state of the art facility provide ample space and ambience for meaningful discussions and is situated in heart of the software development zone of Hyderabad.
2. 1st India Software Engineering Conference Hyderabad- (ISEC2008), Feb 19-22, 2008. The ISEC conference is planned as the main yearly conference of the newly created Special Interest Group on Software Engineering, SIGSE under the umbrella of the Computer Society of India, CSI. The First ISEC will be held in Hyderabad, an important IT destination in India. ISEC will bring together researchers and practitioners from across the world to share the results of their work.Technical papers describing original and unpublished results of conceptual, empirical, and experimental software engineering research, as well as those describing Industry Experience will be in the program. ISEC will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry to meet and share cutting-edge advancements in the field of software engineering.
3. ISEC 2015 : 8th ACM India Software Engineering Conference, February 18-20 2015 at Bangalore, India. ISEC is the annual conference of India Software Engineering community (ISOFT), the Indian Chapter of the SIGSOFT Special Interest Group of ACM. The eigth ISEC held at Bangalore. ISEC aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in software engineering related areas from across the world.
4. APSEC 2015 : ASIA-PACIFIC SOFTWARE ENGINEERING CONFERENCE,http://www.apsec2015.org/ from Dec 1, 2015 - Dec 4, 2015 in New Delhi, India. Software has been increasingly utilised to improve the quality of lives and, subsequently, to change the world in a myriad of unforeseeable ways. Software systems have evolved to meet the changing needs of society, while society has in turn evolved in response to the use of innovative and omnipresent software systems. The emergence of contemporary software for the evolving world has posed unprecedented challenges to software engineering professionals and their community. The 22nd Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC 2015) provides an excellent opportunity for software engineering researchers and practitioners around the world to exchange ideas on how to address these challenges. The theme of this year's conference is "Software Process and Product Engineering".
