13th International Conference on Software Engineering & Knowledge Engineering Buenos Aires, Argentina June 13-15, 2001 Call for Papers Scope The Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering has, for the past twelve years, been providing a unique, centralized forum for academic and industrial researchers and practitioners to discuss the application of either software engineering methods in knowledge engineering or knowledge-based techniques in software engineering. This year’s event shall continue the SEKE mission. Therefore, preference will be given to contributions that emphasize the transference of methods between both engineering domains. However, outstanding papers on software engineering or knowledge engineering alone are also being solicited. Suggested Topics of Interest Artificial intelligence approaches to software engineering Automated software design Component-based engineering Data mining Education and training Intelligent CASE tools Knowledge acquisition and requirements elicitation Knowledge management Measurement and empirical software engineering Multimedia software engineering Program understanding Requirements engineering Reverse engineering Software architecture Software domain modeling Software process modeling Software reuse Verification and validation Session, Panel, Tutorial Proposals Sessions, Panels and Tutorial proposals should include a two or three-page summary containing the title, proponents, contact information, abstract, description and the background of the proponent. An electronic copy of the proposal (only PDF, postscript or Microsoft Word formats) should be sent before December 1, 2000 to: tutorials@seke01.ls.fi.upm.es Paper Submissions Papers must be written in English. Only electronic PDF, postscript or Microsoft Word formats will be accepted. Please, send an electronic copy of the complete manuscript with a 200-word abstract and no more than 12 pages of double-spaced text (including figures and references) before January 15, 2001 to: papers@seke01.ls.fi.upm.es All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings. In addition, a few selected best papers in knowledge engineering will be published in a special issue of Expert Systems with Applications, best papers in software engineering areas will be published in a special issue of Journal of Systems and Software, and best papers in software engineering and knowledge engineering will be published in a special issue of The International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering.
