We welcome contributions on all such fundamental approaches, including:

• Software engineering as an engineering discipline, including its interaction with and impact on society

• Requirements engineering: capture, consistency, and change management of software requirements

• Software architectures: description and analysis of the architecture of individual systems or classes of applications

• Specification, design, and implementation of particular classes of systems: adaptive, collaborative, embedded, distributed, mobile, pervasive, or service-oriented applications

• Software quality: validation and verification of software using theorem proving, model checking, testing, analysis, refinement methods, metrics or visualisation techniques

• Model-driven development and model transformation: meta-modelling, design and semantics of domain-specific languages, consistency and transformation of models, generative architectures

• Software processes: support for iterative, agile, and open source development

• Software evolution: refactoring, reverse and re-engineering, configuration management and architectural change, or aspect-orientation
