ICSE 2001, the premier conference for software engineering, will 
feature the latest inventions, achievements, and experiences in 
software engineering research, practice, and education, and will 
give researchers, practitioners, and, educators the opportunity 
to present, discuss, and learn.

The ICSE 2001 Software Engineering Week, May 11-20, 2001 consists 
of the main ICSE conference and over 50 tutorials, workshops, 
collocated conferences, and symposia. The conference venue is the 
Westin Harbour Castle overlooking Lake Ontario in downtown Toronto, 
with restaurants, theaters, shopping and plenty of other activities.
                            
The main ICSE 2001 program includes 47 technical papers, eight 
case-study reports, six education papers, an invited industry track, 
nine formal research demonstrations, and four panels. The program 
also contains six plenary sessions with outstanding invited keynote 
speakers. The main ICSE 2001 program also contains two new features: 
Challenges and Achievements in Software Engineering (CHASE), in which 
each session offers both research and industrial views of the same 
topic; and Frontiers of Software Practice (FoSP), which provides 
mini-tutorials on new and promising software technologies. Throughout 
the conference, there are also exhibits, posters, and informal research 
demonstrations. Finally, the conference features three casual receptions 
with great food and entertainment to give all an opportunity to meet 
and mingle with old and new friends.

Prior to the main ICSE 2001 program, there are 22 tutorials (full day 
and half day) on a variety of topics and 18 workshops that offer an 
informal forum for interaction. There are also three special symposia: 
the David L. Parnas Symposium, the New Software Engineering Faculty 
Symposium, and the Doctoral Symposium. Finally, both prior to and 
immediately following the main ICSE 2001 program, there are four 
collocated conferences: International Workshop on Program Comprehension 
(IWPC 2001); Engineering for Human-Computer Interaction (EHCI 2001); 
Symposium on Software Reusability (SSR 2001); and Spin Workshop on 
Model Checking of Software (SPIN 2001).

We look forward to seeing you at ICSE 2001!
