The IEEE Computer Society Technical Council on Software Engineering (TCSE) is pleased to endorse technical co-sponsorship for CEE-SECR 2010 (the 5th Eastern and Central European Software Engineering Conference in Russia).

This is the key software engineering event in Central and Eastern Europe with over 500 participants and speakers from 15 countries. CEE-SECR is managed by an International Program Committee assembled by recognized software engineering experts from academia and industry. Over 40% of the Program Committee members are members of the IEEE Computer Society.

The conference employs a double-blind review process producing a high quality program with acceptance rate of 62% (in 2008). It includes globally-recognized software “gurus / founding fathers” as keynote speakers such as Ivar Jacobson, Michael Cusumano, Larry Constantine, Erich Gamma, Michael Fagan, Rick Kazman, Steve Masters, Mark Paulk, Stephen Mellor and others.

It enjoys wide industry support provided by all major local software/IT associations, as well as by local software companies and by global software companies operating in CEE region, including Microsoft, IBM, Intel, ORACLE, HP and others.

The conference will provide discounts to IEEE-CS members; Conference proceedings will be available in IEEE Xplore.

This area of the world is experiencing sustained growth in software engineering. TCSE is pleased to have the opportunity to support software engineering in this region.
