CALL FOR PAPERS

The Twenty-Eighth International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE 2016) will be held at Hotel Sofitel, Redwood City, San Francisco Bay, California, USA, from July 1 to July 3, 2016.

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. The theme this year is big data and software engineering & knowledge engineering. Submission of papers and demos are both welcome.
