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.
