Continuing the success of previous PROFES conferences, the 9th
International
PROFES (Product Focused Software Development and Process Improvement)
conference will be organized in Frascati, located in the hills south of
Rome, Italy on June 23-25, 2008. PROFES conferences have continuously
attracted participants equally from industry, research, and academia
confirming that the conference topics are up-to-date, important, and
interesting. Now, the conference is enhancing its scope to also cover
collaborative and agile software development.

In the relaxing athomspheare of Villa Mondragone, the largest and one
of the
most beautiful villas of Tusculanum, PROFES 2008 together with its
colocated
events, such as workshops and tutorials (see below) provides a perfect
setting for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and

THEME & SCOPE

The conference themes 'professional software process improvement (SPI)',
'product focused improvement', 'collaborative' and 'agile software
development' address approaches that cover systems and software quality
management and improvement, software development applying agile
principles
and collaborative software development in a global context. The themes
cover
both solutions and experiences found in practice as well as research
results
from academia. The conference deals with SPI extensively including
quality
engineering and management topics focused on the product to be
developed,
thus related to processes, methods, techniques, tools, organizations,
and
enabling SPI technologies ensuring certain characteristics of the
product.
The conference addresses collaborative development both as "one-roof",
"outsourced", and "offshored" development, and also deals with different
development modes, roles in the value-chain, and stakeholders'
viewpoints,
as well as economic and quality aspects. Agile development is considered
both as "agile in the small"
and "agile in the large". Agile development shows a tremendous
increase in
productivity in one-roof development, and is considered for being
applied in
large projects as well.

The conference provides a variety of up-to-date topics and tackles
industry
problems. Medical, automotive, space & avionic systems, mobile
applications,
and critical infrastructures are rapidly growing software application
areas
with a strong need for professional development and improvement.
Nowadays,
the majority of embedded software is developed in collaboration, and
distribution of embedded software development continues to increase.
Therefore, keynote speaches, paper presentations, and discussions on the
following topics will be offered.
