     Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research in all areas of software engineering. Papers describing theoretical or empirical research, new techniques and tools, and in-depth case studies or experience reports are all welcome. Submissions should be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication.
     Paper submissions will be reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical quality and relevance to the field of software engineering. As in previous years, the proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and one of the authors of each accepted paper is expected to register as a delegate and present the paper at the conference.
     All submissions must be in English; must be prepared in IEEE format (instructions at: http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm) and must not exceed 10 pages in length, including figures and references. Submission of papers will be carried out electronically via the Web. A separate, one-page abstract must be submitted two weeks before the full paper.
     Authors who will have trouble submitting their paper electronically should contact the program co-chair Pornsiri Muenchaisri (Pornsiri.Mu@chula.ac.th) as early as possible to make alternative arrangements.
