                           CALL FOR PAPERS
                               ESEC'95
            FIFTH EUROPEAN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING CONFERENCE 
                 
                       Sitges, Barcelona, Spain
                        September 25-28, 1995

Following the four previous ESECs held in Strasbourg, Warwick, Milano, and
Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the fifth European Software Engineering Conference 
will again provide an international forum to bring together researchers,
developers and users of software engineering technology. Professionals from
academia, business and industry will meet to share information, evaluate
results and explore new ideas on software engineering models, languages,
methods, tools and practices.

Original papers are welcome on topics including, but not limited to:

- Requirements elicitation, specification and prototyping
- Design methods and architectures
- Testing and verification
- Configuration management
- Reuse of components: theory and practice
- Application Frameworks
- Process and product metrics
- Software process: models and formalisation
- Workflow Management and Business Process (Re-) Engineering
- Software Engineering Environments
- Real-time, safety-critical systems
- Distributed systems
- Technology transfer and practical evaluation from experience

Submissions

Papers (4 copies) should not be longer than 6000 words and should include a
title page with a short abstract and the authors' addresses. Papers must be
received by the Programme Chair by January 15 1995. If you prefer
not to be identified to reviewers, you should not include authors' names in
the body of the paper. We welcome correspondance by fax or e-mail but fax or
electronic copies of papers will not be accepted.

Submissions will be reviewed by the programme committee for originality,
significance, timeliness, soundness and quality of presentation. You should
make clear what is novel about your work and should compare it with related
work. Theoretical papers should show how their results relate to software
engineering practice; practical papers should discuss lessons learned and the
causes of success or failure.

It is once again planned to publish accepted papers in Springer LNCS.

Tutorials

Proposals for high-quality tutorials on any aspect of software engineering
are welcome. Potential proposers should contact the Tutorial Chair for more
information.
