ITNG 2012

The aim of the Software Engineering (SE) track is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry in an effort to highlight the state-of-the-art and to present and discuss ideas and experiences to explore new directions to improving SE theories, technologies, processes, models, verification methods and CASE tools, as well as new SE development concepts and fundamental paradigms. We strongly encourage submissions of both theoretical nature and experience papers from academia and industry. Suggested areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Agent-oriented modeling and design methods
Agent-oriented requirements engineering
Case studies
Computer-aided software engineering
Formal methods for Agent-oriented software engineering
Maintenance issues
Organizational issues
Patterns for software design
Quality management
Requirements and Specification
Reuse in agent-oriented systems
Safety-critical software
Software architecture
Software component markets and businesses
Software cost estimation
Software documentation
Software engineering environment
Software metrics
Software prototyping
Software re-engineering
Software reliability
Software reuse and portability
System models
Verification and validation

Evaluation Process

Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness. Per ITNG policy, except for invited papers, all papers will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings with an ISBN. The proceedings will be published in the IEEE digital library

Best Student Paper

The Best Student Paper will be awarded at the conference. To be eligible, the student must be the sole author of the paper, or the first author and primary contributor. (The winner of the award will present the paper in a plenary session at the conference). A cover letter to the General Chair/Track Chair must identify the paper as a candidate for this competition at the time of submission.
