Dear Colleagues

We would hereby like to invite you to submit proposals for presentations at
the SET 2007 conference to be held from May 8 to 9, 2007 in Zurich,
Switzerland. The conference will comprise three parallel tracks of
presentations on a broad spectrum of software engineering and management
topics. Presentation slots will be 45 minutes in length including 10 minutes
of discussion time at the end of the presentation.

"Software Engineering Today" is aimed at professionals involved in decisions
regarding software development processes, methods, and technologies (e.g. IT
managers, project leaders, software architects, etc.). The participants will
gain an excellent overview of the state-of-the-art in modern software
engineering. The focus is on cutting edge techniques that have also proven to
be successful in practical use - hence "Profit from Proven Experience" as the
motto of the conference series. The conference will provide a solid foundation
for business and technical decisions regarding investments in
software. Informed decisions regarding software are made based on past
experience, latest technical trends, realistic expectations regarding return
on investment, and the situation in your organization (for example the
relevant processes and available skills). This conference will give guidance
in all of these areas.

The topics of the conference include:
