It has been titled as ISFST: International Symposium on Future Software Technology, and IWFST from 2005. The purpose of the workshop is to examine recent progresses in software technology, to exchange various technical and business information, and to promote the sound industry-academia cooperation in future. It will be a good place for practitioners, researchers and educators in software community to discuss about the trend of business and technology in the intimate atmosphere. Following 2 topics were carefully selected for this year'sour working group discussions: (a) Formal Method: Any approaches based on some mathematical models are welcome, like formal specification language, architecture description language or model based testing. (b) Software as an output of immaterial labor Last year we discussed on this topic. Its idea about our own labor itself covers from socio-technical field to pure-technical field like software process or user interface.
