                 May 16-24, 2015 - Firenze, Italy

For 2015 the ICSE Software Engineering Education and Training Track
(SEET) and the Conference on Software Engineering Education and
Training (CSEE&T) have combined to produce a joint program.

This will run as part of both conferences, which will be co-located.
The following document contains the calls for papers both for this
joint program and for the other activities that will make up CSEE&T.

*Important Dates (for both JSEET and CSEE&T)*

- Submission deadline:  Oct 24, 2014
- Notification of reviewing decisions: Jan 21, 2015
- Conference: May 16-24, 2015

*CALL FOR PAPERS*

Theme: Software Engineering Education and Training: System Thinking
and System Scale

*Aims and Scope*

The emergence of software engineering as a new term in the discipline
of Computer Science / Computing / Informatics has created significant
challenges for educators.  Embracing this new concept requires a
transition from a discipline of lone wolves and artistic heroes to a
discipline of engineers focusing on product development in a planned
process under constrained time, budget, and other resources but leading
to a predictable quality.  Some of the issues involved could be taught
well in classrooms.  For others, even project-based instruction provides
only a weak proxy for training and learning while on the job. Team
issues notably show a very different face in educational settings than
in the field.

The area of software has been continuously expanding, and today, the
software development concerns are not only related to pure software
matters, such as software architecture, design, implementation and
testing, but also to other systems and the environment in which the
software is performing.  Questions of safety, security, sustainability,
usability and particularly scalability are now just as important as
questions relating to the functional requirements.  Also, as systems
increase in scale, software development requires more and more
system-related reasoning, which makes software engineering education
and training even more challenging.  How can we teach software engineers
(students or other trainees) to cope with problems of scale?  To what
extent should system thinking be a part of software engineering
education?  As well as being experts in designing software, how far
should software developers also be experts in system engineering or
other application domains?

*Topics of Interest*

JSEET 2015 is looking for contributions that address new challenges
and best practices in software engineering and training.  While we
welcome submissions on all topics related to software engineering
education and training, we are particularly interested in submissions
exploring recent developments in aspects of incorporating software
engineering with system engineering, or emphasizing system concerns
such as sustainability, dependability, usability, scalability,
different types of systems, and similar.

The track is intended to cover a wide range of topics, including
(but not limited to):

- software and system development;
- new best practices for SEET;
- innovative curriculum or course formats;
- blending software engineering and other disciplines, such as music,
  art and psychology;
- blending software engineering and other engineering disciplines,
  such as electrical engineering and bioengineering;
- exploring the widespread adoption of mobile devices for SEET;
- multidisciplinary team development and project management;
- domain engineering;
- social and cultural issues;
- global and distributed software engineering;
- cooperation in education between industry and academia;
- methodological aspects of software engineering education;
- continuous education to cope with technological change

*Format and Submissions for the JSEET*

- Full papers, up to 10 pages, documenting results and findings,
  where the research presented has followed established research methods;
- Short papers, up to 4 pages, reporting novel results that have not
  been fully evaluated, which will be presented as posters;
- Case study papers, up to 10 pages, reporting on novel courses, tools,
  or delivery formats;
- Panel session proposals, up to 4 pages, which describe the topic to
  be discussed, explain why this topic will be of interest and give
  details of the proposed panel membership.  Note that proposals for
  panel sessions will be considered for inclusion in either JSEET or
  CSEE&T, as determined by the program committee.

The detailed submission guidelines for each category (e.g. maximum page
length, formatting requirements) are provided at the submission page,
and formatting guidelines can be found at the author instruction page.
Papers must be submitted electronically through EasyChair.

 CSEE&T -  Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training
      http://stardock.cs.virginia.edu/cseet/2015/cseetcfp.html

As its name suggests, JSEET combines parts of the program of ICSE and
CSEE&T.  As well as the submissions for JSEET, CSEE&T also invites
submissions for the parts of its program that will be separate from JSEET.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

*CALL FOR OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS*

Theme: Software Engineering Education and Training: System Thinking
and System Scale

*Aims and Scope*

As well as research papers and panel sessions, CSEE&T has a long
tradition of providing workshops, tutorials and similar activities
that focus on helping SE educators to develop their skills and practice.
The aims of these should ideally reflect the aims of the research papers
in addressing the same key questions, namely:

- How can we make team issues as realistic as possible?
- How can we teach software engineering students or trainees to cope
  with problems of scale?
- To what extent should system thinking be a part of software engineering
  education?
- As well as being experts in designing software, how far should software
  developers also be experts in system engineering or other application
  domains?

Similarly, the topics of interest for such activities should ideally
reflect ones in the list for the research papers, but again this is not
intended as a restrictive list, and proposals that focus on other topics
which are relevant to current issues in SE education will be welcome.

*Format and Submissions for CSEE&T*

- Highly collaborative workshops, up to 4 pages, which describe the topic
  of the workshop, explain why this topic will be of interest, and give
  details of the organization of the workshop and those who will lead it;
- Tutorials (typically lasting two sessions), up to 3 pages, which
  describe the topic of the tutorial, explain why this topic will be of
  interest, and give brief details of those who will lead it;
- Practice and Methods presentations (typically lasting one session),
  up to 3 pages, which describe the topic of the presentation, explain
  why this topic will be of interest, and give brief details of those
  who will lead it;
- Panel session proposals, up to 4 pages, which describe the topic to
  be discussed, explain why this topic will be of interest and give
  details of the proposed panel membership.  Note that proposals for
  panel sessions will be considered for inclusion in either JSEET or
  CSEE&T, as determined by the program committee.

The detailed submission guidelines for each category (e.g. maximum page
length, formatting requirements) are provided at the submission page,
and formatting guidelines can be found at the author instruction page.
Papers must be submitted electronically through EasyChair.
