Summer
School on
Advanced
Techniques for Software Development
Time: from 16 August - 3 September, 2004
Host: Department of Computer Science, School
of Sciences, Hue University, Vietnam.
Sponsors: UNU-IIST and Hue
University.
1. Introduction
The software industry is growing rapidly and practitioners are
struggling hard to cope with the ever-increasing complexity of software
development. Meanwhile, the management of software projects has led to
many software development failures and successes. While software
technologies, processes and methods have advanced appreciably, software
engineering remains a people-intensive process. Therefore, techniques
for managing people, technology, resources and risks have profound
leverage.
A serious problem plaguing software industries in both developed and
developing countries is poor development practices and project
management. This problem is the major cause of delays in software
projects, overspending of IT budgets, and chronic problems with
dependability (safety, reliability and security) and maintainability of
software products.
Software industries in developing countries need to rely on modern
engineering practices to develop high-quality, globally competitive
products. Such practices comprise a variety of methods, tools and
techniques based on solid mathematical foundations and good software
project management.
This school has been designed to provide an international forum for
presentation and discussion of such practices. The goals of the
school is to provide lecturers, researchers, developers,
and managers from Vietnam
with state-of-the-art software development techniques together with
necessary
foundations for the development of their professional career. The
school will
also give participants a chance to exchange experience, ideas, and
solutions
for their problems, and to exchange university curriculum with teachers
and
colleagues from different places in the country and from abroad. It
will also
help to initiate new topics for research and to encourage people in
doing
research as well as developments.
