The 5th Workshop on Software Engineering in Practice will be held in the frame of the 24th International Conference on Software, Telecommunications and Computer Networks (SoftCOM 2016), which is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc), September 22-24, Split 2016.

The software is everywhere around us. The significant growth of ICT products and  solutions depends on the quality of the used software. The software is essential enabler of future usage and growth of networked society surrounded with 50 billion of connected devices. Are we ready for such mass software production and keeping the software product life cycle continuous? Are the current researches and used software engineering practice correlated and ready to take responsibility for such broad and demanding software usage with quality and security demands? What are the software products in the “cloud” era, and are we ready to switch from software products to the model of software as a service? What challenges in software engineering are the most critical? Let's take opportunity to discuss these software engineering challenges and exchange experience betweenresearchers and practitioners. Prepare your view and share it with others. Be on the workshop during theSoftCOM 2016 conference.

The main topics of interest (not excluding others) are: software modelling and model driven development and testing, service creation automation, key software performance parameters analysis and modelling, education in software engineering (needs and challeng）.
