<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Software engineering is at the heart of many state of the art tools designed to simplify and improve our lives, including cloud computing applications, the semantic web and self-configuring systems.
As these instruments are involved in fields of vital importance, by providing customised solutions for education, businesses, government and health care, the role played by the theory behind their working principles bears an undeniable weight. In this context,
the TASE International Symposium strives to provide top scientists with a framework for communicating their latest and most valuable theoretical results in the field of software engineering.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
