International Conference on Software and e-Business is in its 2nd session. The event falls within the scope of the continuation of initiatives carried out by the IEDRC.  IERDC’s support for research and its efforts to facilitate networking opportunities among software and e-business researchers has made this conference to happen.

Software engineering professionalism initiatives resulted in the certification and licensing of software engineers in a number of countries worldwide. We are seeing increased attention to software engineering specialty areas, and many software engineering degree programs have tracks to support these specialties. On the industry side we are seeing an upheaval in software engineering as we know it. Innovations such as Cloud Computing, autonomous vehicles, drones, bioengineering, and other initiatives have made for a rapidly changing landscape. Topics such as software assurance, safety, and reliability have become increasingly important knowledge areas. We are in a global economy with a software supply chain that can extend across many countries and regions. Each one has their own regulations and laws about safety, security, and privacy. Practicing software engineers change jobs frequently, so the value of in-house training is not as clear as it once was.

In 2018 we want to focus on the changes that are taking place in the field, our response to it, and our vision of how we can move forward to meet the ever-increasing demand for qualified software engineers.

ICSEB 2018 aims to provide a high level international forum to bring together industry professionals, and academics. Also, it aims to exchange information and share achievements. Moreover, it focuses on discussing the advancement in the fields of software and e-Business, etc.
