[BACKGROUND and TOPICS]
APSEC is a series of leading international conferences on software 
engineering and technology held annually in the Asia-Pacific region
since 1994.  The APSEC steering committee comprises prominent 
researchers from Korea, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, 
Singapore, Thailand, India, China and Malaysia. 

Software has been increasingly utilized to improve the quality of 
lives and 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.  
APSEC 2012 provides an excellent opportunity for software engineering 
researchers and practitioners around the world to exchange ideas on 
how to address these challenges.

Topics of interest for APSEC 2012 include, but are not limited to: 
- Software requirements engineering
- Software architecture and design
- Software engineering methodologies
- Software analysis and understanding
- Software testing, verification and validation
- Software maintenance and evolution
- Software project management
- Software quality and measurement
- Software process and standards
- Software security, reliability and privacy
- Software engineering environments and tools
- Software engineering education	
- Cloud and grid based software systems
- Context-aware and intelligent systems
- Distributed and parallel software systems 
- Embedded and real-time software systems
- Mobile and ubiquitous software systems
- Component based software engineering
- Product-line software engineering
- Web-based software engineering
- Empirical software engineering
- Formal methods in software engineering
- Emerging software engineering methods
- Other software engineering applications
