SCOPE
The Fifteenth International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge 
Engineering will be held in Hotel Sofitel, San Francisco Bay, USA, July 1-3, 
2003. The conference aims at bringing together experts in software engineering 
and knowledge engineering to discuss on relevant results in either software 
engineering or knowledge engineering or both. Special emphasis will be put on 
the transference of methods between both domains.

WORKSHOPS
SEKE'2003 has two themes. The first theme is software engineering decision 
support, data mining, and knowledge engineering techniques to support software 
engineering. The second theme is web engineering and design issues for the web 
such as synchronization, V&V, searching and spatial reasoning. Five workshops 
will be organized around these two themes. You can contact the organizer of a 
workshop to join as a PC member for that workshop.
