LASER Summer School on Software Engineering
Practical Techniques of Software Quality
Elba, Italy
September 12 - 18, 2004
http://se.inf.ethz.ch/laser
-------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Participation
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Research in software engineering is currently making steady progress,
too
much of which remains unknown to practictioners. The aim of the LASER
school
is to distribute the results of that research to a wider audience and in
turn to foster the appearance of new ideas. The school is intended for
both
PhD students and for professional software engineers and managers who
want
to benefit from recent advances in software technology.
The LASER school is sponsored by ETH Zurich as part of an effort to
establish a Laboratory for Applied Software Engineering Research. As the
name suggests, the focus is resolutely practical, although theory is
welcome
to establish solid foundations.
The 2004 LASER school brings together six of the best experts in the
field,
from Europe, the US and Australia. Each will present a series of six
lectures on his or her latest research efforts. The six speakers for
2004
are Jean-Raymond Abrial, Ernie Cohen (Microsoft Research), Erich Gamma
(IBM), Bertrand Meyer (ETH/Eiffel Software), Carroll Morgan (University
of
New South Wales) and Pamela Zave (AT&T).
The school takes place in the wonderful setting of the Island of Elba,
off
the coast of Tuscany, easily reachable through Pisa and Marina di Campo
airports. Along with an intensive scientific program, participants will
have
time to enjoy the natural and cultural riches of this history-laden
jewel of
the Mediterranean.

LECTURES
"Formal Methods Made Practical"
by Jean-Raymond Abrial
"Software Engineering and Security"
by Ernie Cohen
"Agile Software Development - Practices, Patterns, Tools"
by Erich Gamma
"From Design by Contract to Trusted Components"
by Bertrand Meyer
"Formal Methods for Probabilistic Systems"
by Carroll Morgan
"Software Engineering for Communication Services"
by Pamela Zave
REGISTRATION
Registration is now open until April 15th. The number of participants is
strictly limited to ensure quality interaction with the lecturers and
the
rest of the audience; all applications must be accompanied by a letter
of
recommendation from the applicant's supervisor or manager. A small
number of
scholarships are available for participants with insufficient
institutional
support.
How to apply?
Use the online registration form available on the LASER website
(http://se.inf.ethz.ch/laser). Deadline for the application is April 15,
2004.
Registration fee
The basic registration fee is EUR 850. Full-time PhD students are
entitled
to a discounted price of EUR 500. A limited number of registrations have
been set aside for students of ETH Zurich at the price of EUR 400,
available
first-come, first-served.The registration fee covers participation in
all
lectures and other activities of the summer school, course materials,
excursions, and the conference dinner.
Accommodation
The accommodation fee is EUR 680 (double occupancy) or EUR 840 (single
room). It includes eight nights in one of the two hotels of the Summer
School (Hotel Biodola and Hotel Hermitage) with breakfasts, lunches, and
dinners. Other expenses such as drinks, telephone etc. will be charged
directly by the hotels. For extra night stays or accompanying persons
(subject to availability of rooms), please contact the School
organizers.
Scholarships
A small number of scholarships are available for participants with
insufficient institutional support; they are primarily intended for
students
and researchers from less developed countries. Participants applying for
such scholarships will be requested to certify that their institution
cannot
bear the costs. Each scholarship is EUR 800, covering a waiver of the
PhD
student registration fee and EUR 300 towards the double-occupancy
accommodation fee.
