GoingToMeet

ICSE 2009 promises to be an exciting event, and I would like to share some of the highlights with you. Of course, we have our always outstanding research track. I'd also like to make note of several new tracks this year. Software Engineering in Practice will have a combination of papers and invited speakers. Integrated into the track will be registration packages that allow combinations of tutorials and conference days.

The New Ideas and Emerging Results track will include conference presentations for the first time. The format will be short "blitz" presentations and discussion that we hope will be both informative and fun. The Tools and Demos track will provide substantial presentations of both established and experimental tools. The conference will include a set of Technical Briefings on areas that we believe are of emerging importance for software engineering research.
