From: "Ute Schmalhofer" &lt;ute.schmalhofer(a)4soft.de&gt; Date: 1 October 2008 23:13:33 CEDT To: SEWORLD(a)cs.colorado.edu Subject: (SEWORLD) CfP: Software & Systems Engineering Essentials 2009 *Call for Contribution* Software & Systems Engineering Essentials 2009 Processes, Process modelling and Software Engineering Technologies Key theme: Tools as the key to project success http://2009.see-conf.de/ Event Dates: Workshops - 25th May 2009 Conference - 26th & 27th May 2009 Event Location: Steigenberger Hotel Berlin, Los-Angeles-Platz 1, 10789 Berlin, Germany Conference Description: The Software and Systems Engineering Essentials is one of the main conferences dealing with process models, methodology and tools in the =20= German speaking world. It offers a comprehensive insight into standards such as CMMI(r), HERMES, ITIL(r), PRINCE2(tm), RUP und V-Modell(r)XT, agile development strategies like SCRUM and task oriented approaches in modern development environments. The SEE 2009 has as its core motto "Tools as the key to project success". Process managers and project managers often discover to =20 their cost that useful procedures and standards are not obeyed and followed because they are seen as inherently causing an increase in workload. The =20 consequences of this are quality issues in the project deliverables and inefficient processes. The usage of appropriate tools offers a way around these =20 problems in that the project team members are supported in their work and the following of processes and methodologies is made easier, or even made possible to be introduced in the first place. With that in mind, tools =20= play a key role in the standardisation of project tasks. The SEE 2009 deals specifically with this aspect and answers questions such as: What tools are available on the market? How do I achieve an integrated tool environment? When do I utilise integrated proprietary OEM systems, heterogeneous Best-of-Breed Tools and/or Open-Source tools? Which tools are appropriate for my in-house internal process models? How do I go about the choice and introduction of tools? And finally: what =20 benefits do the various tools really offer? Invitation for Proposals for Presentations and Workshops: The SEE offers an array of keynote addresses, workshops, tutorials, three parallel sessions with presentations, and a concluding podium discussion. We therefore invite specialists in industry and research for contributions which deal with selected aspects from the list of topics on the following pages. In the workshops in particular, these themes will be discussed with reference to process models in general, and will not be limited to =20 dealing with any specific process model in particular. Interested contributors are asked to compile and submit an extended abstract. For this purpose, there are template documents available for download on the conference website(http://2009.see-conf.de). Presentations and workshop suggestions can be submitted in either English or German. The accepted presentations will be published after =20= the conference as an integrated record of proceedings.
