Take a SEAT
By Bashar Nuseibeh
If you are a software engineering educator or trainer, then ICSE 2000 provides a variety of sessions that may be of interest to you. The ICSE 2000 Software Engineering Education & Training (SEAT) track comprises Technical Paper sessions (S7.2 & S10.2), Teaching Demos (S4.5, S8.5, & S14.5), Education Panels (S5.5, S11.5), and a state-of-the-art invited presentation by Prof. Mary Shaw from Carnegie-Mellon University (S8.3). The main conference was preceded on Tuesday by the Doctoral Workshop, and the issues raised in it will be presented at a panel dedicated to that workshop on Thursday (S11.5).
The motivation behind the SEAT programme was to raise awareness in SE education and training, and to integrate contributions in this area into the main conference programme. So, if you find the SEAT sessions useful, please let us know, and consider contributing to the ICSE 2001 programme next year in Toronto. All contributions to the SEAT track this year were peer reviewed — in the case of Technical Papers, the 33 submissions were reviewed by the conference Programme Committee, which accepted two papers on SE education (S10.2) and two on SE training (S7.2). So find our sessions throughout the conference, and take a SEAT!
