Theme

Software development is a complicated process. It requires a systematic
approach in different phases of the development. From the analysis of
system requirements, to the design of software architecture,
implementation, testing, and maintenance, each step has its goal.
Software
Engineering, as one of the most interesting research areas of computer
engineering, still plays an important role. On the other hand, there has

been an explosive growth of multimedia computing, communication and
applications in the last few years. This revolution is transforming the
way
people live, work, and interact with each other, and is impacting the
way
businesses, government services, education, entertainment, and health
care
are operating. It is safe to say that the multimedia revolution is
underway. The purpose of this workshop is to serve as a forum for the
exchange of ideas among practicing engineers and researchers from around

the world, as well as highlight current activities and important topics
in
the fields of software engineering and multimedia computing. The
workshop
organizers seek contributions of high quality papers, addressing various

aspects of software tools and multimedia systems, for presentation at
the
workshop and publication in the proceedings. Topics of interest include,

but are not limited to:

Software Engineering:

    * software development life cycle
