------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Participants of IWFST-2009 International Workshop on Future Software Technologies Mumbai, India 10th December - 13rd December 2009 Organized by Software Engineering Association, Japan in collaboration with NASSCOM, India ------------------------------------------------------------------ Motivation and Goals We have been holding symposia and workshops regarding software engineering and computer science in Asia from 1986. The conference was held mainly in China, the only one exception was at Osaka in Japan. Because there are many attractions in China, that are not only cultural materials but also historical and philosophical matters. The topics we have discussed are the state of the art and the state of the practice of computer systems and software systems including software engineering, computer science, information technology, and information systems. There were many participants from China, Korea, India, Singapore, Australia, Vietnam, Taiwan, America, and Japan. We decided to hold IWFST-2009 in India. Because India is a great country as same as China, and it's very popular about software business recently all over the world. India provides us not only the way of thinking but also the driving force of Asian spirits. The goal of the workshop is to bring researchers and participants with special interest on future software technology for software development. ------ Topics ------ This year we focus on the three subjects as follows; Asian computing based on multi-culture and multi-lingual General engineering versus specific domain engineering Outsourcing business in Asian sphere Participants will have broad range of expertise in topics ranging from computer engineering, computer science, software engineering, information technology, and information system. -------------------------- Submissions and Proceeding -------------------------- The workshop invites the submission of position paper of at most 4 pages. Proceedings of the workshop will be published after the workshop. The program committee will review the submissions for their relevance and technical merits. We especially encourage the submissions of provoking or unconventional ideas that can lead to lively and productive discussions, and inspire new research ideas and directions.
