Regular Paper Submission: February 6, 2013 Authors Notification (regular papers): April 4, 2013 Final Regular Paper Submission and Registration: April 23, 2013

ICSOFT-EA is part of ICSOFT, the International Conference on Software Paradigm Trends Registration to ICSOFT-EA allows free access to all other ICSOFT conferences

ICSOFT 2013 will be held in conjunction with DATA 2013 and SIMULTECH 2013 Registration to ICSOFT allows free access to the DATA and SIMULTECH conferences (as a non-speaker)

The purpose of the ICSOFT-EA 2013, the 8th International Conference on Software Engineering and Applications, is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested on information technology, with a practical focus on software engineering and applications. The conference tracks are "Enterprise Software Technologies", "Software Engineering and Systems Security", "Distributed Systems", and "Software Project Management".

Software technologies are essential for developing any enterprise information system, encompassing a large number of research topics and applications: from programming issues to the more abstract theoretical aspects of software engineering; from software security to mobile applications; Distributed systems, ubiquity, software quality as well as project management and other related topics are included in the scope of ICSOFT-EA. Ideas on how to analyze and approach problems by combining software development and data technologies, either in the scope of R&D projects, engineering or business applications, are welcome. Papers describing new methods or technologies, advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged. Papers describing original work are invited in any of the areas listed below. Accepted papers, presented at the conference by one of the authors, will be published on the Proceedings of ICSOFT, with an ISBN. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality. Both full research reports and work-in-progress reports are welcome. There will be both oral and poster sessions.

The best papers will be selected to appear either in an international journal or in a book to be published by Springer-Verlag. Additional information can be found at http://www.icsoft-ea.org.
