The IEEE Computer Society is pleased to bring you the 27th Annual Software Technology Conference.

STC is a practitioner’s conference focused on Meeting Real World Challenges through Software and Systems Technology. As technologists and as citizens, we are faced with myriad challenges from defending national security, to ensuring the robustness of our critical infrastructure, to sustaining and enhancing large portfolios of legacy systems – all within ever tighter resources constraints. Many of our attendees and their customers will not be developing new systems, but rather will be updating code in embedded systems, integrating new capabilities, or otherwise retrofitting existing deployed systems. Some will be creating brand new software-intensive systems to leverage emerging technologies or to meet emerging needs.

We invite you to connect with your colleagues and share your ideas, success stories, and lessons learned in applying software and systems technology to meet our common challenges, by submitting an abstract for consideration as one of our conference session or tutorial speakers.

Visit http://conference.usu.edu/system/login.cfm?eid=14612 for abstract submission guidelines and general conference information.
