SOFSEM '07 -
Current Trends in Theory and
Practice of Computer Science
Harrachov, Czech Republic,
20-26 January 2007
SOFSEM (originally SOFtware
SEMinar) is the annual, international
conference devoted to the theory and
practice of computer science. Its aim is
to foster cooperation among professionals
from academia and industry
working in all modern areas of computer
science. The SOFSEM program consists
of series of invited talks, given by prominent
researchers and professionals,
Contributed Talks selected by the
Program Committee from submitted
papers, Working Sessions discussing
work-in-progress, and the Student
Research Forum.
SOFSEM offers a unique opportunity to
quickly obtain a representative and indepth
overview of the areas of computer
science which were selected as the topics
of this year. For an optimal atmosphere
of close professional interaction,
SOFSEM is organised in tracks with
well-defined topics so as to attract all
researchers and professionals that share
specific fields of interest. SOFSEM is
especially suited for young computer
scientists.
Tracks
SOFSEM 2007 tracks are:
• Foundations of Computer Science
• Multi-Agent Systems
• Emerging Web Technologies
• Dependable Software and Systems.
As it has became a tradition in the last
years, the proceedings with the invited
and contributed papers will be published
in the series Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS, Springer-Verlag) which
will be distributed at the conference.
SOFSEM 2007 is sponsored by ERCIM.

Call for Papers
CAISE '07 - The 19th International
Conference on Advanced
Information Systems Engineering
Trondheim, Norway, 11-15 June 2007
CAiSE'07 invites submissions on the
development, maintenance, procurement
and usage of information systems. This
year's special theme is 'Ubiquitous
Information Systems Engineering', but
as usual the conference also welcomes
papers on other aspects of IS engineering.
New information systems span
different organizations and geographical
locations, and often need to support the
untethered mobility of the people using
the systems. They have a large impact on
the every day life of organisations as
well as individuals. In the light of the
development towards ambient, pervasive
and ubiquitous computing this impact
will increase significantly.
Topics
In addition to the special theme, relevant
topic include:
• Methodologies and approaches for IS
engineering:
• Innovative platforms and architectures
for IS engineering
• Engineering of specific kinds of IS
• Quality concerns in IS engineering.
Important Dates
• 30 November 2006:
Paper submission deadline
• 10 February 2007:
Notification of acceptance
• 11-15 June 2007:
Conference and workshops
The proceedings will be published in the
series Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS, Springer-Verlag).
CAISE 2007 is organised by NTNU and
sponsored by ERCIM.
