<P>With the increased size and complexity of software products, software applications are often no longer created by an individual or even a single organization. Instead, applications now commonly comprise components produced by different developers using diverse practices. In order to minimize the complexity of this process, it is beneficial for those working in the field to standardize software development. Large software applications following traditional approaches are difficult to design and test, slow to develop, require continuous maintenance and updates, and are often unreliable. By constructing software products using emerging techniques, software engineers are seeking solutions to these problems and attempting to reduce the period of software development, while increasing productivity, security and reliability.</P> <P>The primary objective of the 12th IASTED International Conference on Software Engineering and Applications (SEA 2008) is to provide a forum for substantive discussion on the emerging technologies and methodologies being developed to overcome the challenges that exist in all areas of software engineering. This conference will also showcase developments in industry, successful applications, and case studies. All papers submitted to this conference will be double blind reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution<STRONG>.</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG>Keywords:</STRONG> </P> <P> <TABLE class=scope style=″MARGIN–TOP: 0em″ cellSpacing=4 cellPadding=0 summary=″List of Topics″> <TBODY> <TR> <TD> <H3 class=article>Software Design and Development</H3></TD></TR> <TR> <TD style=″PADDING–RIGHT: 0em; WIDTH: 33%″ vAlign=top> <UL class=scopelist style=″MARGIN–TOP: 0.4em″> <LI>Software Requirements </LI> <LI>Software Architecture </LI> <LI>Software Methodologies </LI> <LI>Software Algorithms </LI> <LI>Software Design </LI> <LI>Software Performance Engineering </LI> <LI>Software Performance Model Building </LI> <LI>Software Development </LI> <LI>Object–Oriented Analysis and Design </LI> <LI>Software Engineering </LI> <LI>Software Maintenance </LI> <LI>Software Testing </LI> <LI>Software Metrics </LI> <LI>Software Project Management </LI> <LI>Distributed Software Management </LI></UL></TD> <TD style=″PADDING–RIGHT: 1em; WIDTH: 33%″ vAlign=top> <UL class=scopelist style=″MARGIN–TOP: 0.4em″></UL></TD></TR> <TR> <TD> <H3 class=article>Software Tools and Techniques</H3></TD></TR> <TR> <TD style=″PADDING–RIGHT: 1em; WIDTH: 33%″ vAlign=top> <UL class=scopelist style=″MARGIN–TOP: 0.4em″> <LI>Software Tools </LI> <LI>Software Agents </LI> <LI>Data visualization </LI> <LI>Intelligent Agents </LI> <LI>Programming Languages </LI> <LI>Modelling Languages </LI> <LI>Compilers </LI> <LI>Internet Computing </LI> <LI>Web–based Software Engineering </LI> <LI>Logic Programming </LI> <LI>Artificial Intelligence Applications </LI> <LI>Formal Methods </LI> <LI>Framework Techniques </LI> <LI>Graphical User Interfaces </LI> <LI>Visualization </LI> <LI>Modelling and Simulation </LI></UL></TD> <TD style=″PADDING–RIGHT: 1em; WIDTH: 33%″ vAlign=top> <UL class=scopelist style=″MARGIN–TOP: 0.4em″></UL></TD></TR> <TR> <TD> <H3 class=article>Software Security, Optimization and Standardization</H3></TD></TR> <TR> <TD style=″PADDING–RIGHT: 1em; WIDTH: 33%″ vAlign=top> <UL class=scopelist style=″MARGIN–TOP: 0.4em″> <LI>Security </LI> <LI>Fault Tolerance </LI> <LI>Reliability </LI> <LI>Software Evaluation </LI> <LI>Verification and Validation </LI> <LI>Quality Assurance </LI> <LI>Optimization </LI> <LI>Reusability </LI> <LI>Software Prototyping </LI> <LI>Software Re–Engineering </LI> <LI>Software Standards </LI> <LI>Software Protocols </LI> <LI>Software Product Lines </LI> <LI>Copyright Issues </LI></UL></TD></TR> <TR> <TD> <H3 class=article>Databases and Data Mining</H3></TD></TR> <TR> <TD style=″PADDING–RIGHT: 0em; WIDTH: 33%″ vAlign=top> <UL class=scopelist style=″MARGIN–TOP: 0.4em″> <LI>Database Algorithms </LI> <LI>Database Design </LI> <LI>Database Languages </LI> <LI>Data Warehousing </LI> <LI>Object–Oriented Databases </LI> <LI>Database Management Systems </LI> <LI>Data Mining </LI> <LI>Query Optimization </LI> <LI>Expert Systems </LI> <LI>Knowledge–based Systems </LI></UL></TD> <TD style=″PADDING–RIGHT: 1em; WIDTH: 33%″ vAlign=top> <UL class=scopelist style=″MARGIN–TOP: 0.4em″></UL></TD></TR> <TR> <TD> <H3 class=article>Software Engineering Applications</H3></TD></TR> <TR> <TD style=″PADDING–RIGHT: 0em; WIDTH: 33%″ vAlign=top> <UL class=scopelist style=″MARGIN–TOP: 0.4em″> <LI>Parallel and Distributed Systems </LI> <LI>Real Time Systems </LI> <LI>Mobile and Wireless Computing </LI> <LI>Communication Networks </LI> <LI>Multimedia Systems </LI> <LI>e–Commerce </LI> <LI>m–Commerce </LI> <LI>Web–based Simulation </LI> <LI>Business Process Re–Engineering </LI> <LI>Embedded Systems Programming </LI> <LI>Cooperative Work Support </LI> <LI>Workflow Modelling </LI> <LI>Medical Informatics </LI> <LI>Computer Graphics </LI> <LI>Education </LI> <LI>Others </LI></UL></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><FONT size=2></P> <H3 class=article> </H3></FONT>
