CAPE TOWN 32nd International Conference on Software Engineering
2 — 8 May 2010 CapE Town, SouTh afrICaCape Town International Convention Centre
GEnEral announCEMEnT anD Call for papErSICSE is the premier forum for researchers to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, results, experiences and concerns in the field of software engineering. Encompassing a conference, technical tutorials and workshops, a programme of demonstrations and an exhibition along with social functions to provide an ideal opportunity to learn and network with like–minded colleagues from around the world, ICSE 2010 will take place in Cape Town, one of the world’s most beautiful cities, at a world–class Convention Centre.
In keeping with ICSE’s first time in Africa, the theme of the conference is new horizons. New challenges face our community: from new hardware platforms, increased software complexity and more demanding safety and dependability requirements to major global issues such as the environment and the economic downturn. Our community will play a critical role in meeting these challenges. The conference aims to provide a forum to discuss and report on new challenges in software engineering that will advance its principles and practice.
Cape Town, South africa is one of the most beautiful places in the world providing an ideal location for international events with six of South Africa’s top ten tourist attractions within an hour’s drive of Cape Town. It has beautiful beaches, world famous wine–lands, a warm climate and wide variety of restaurants and hotels. So grab this opportunity and CoME To CapE Town!
