PROFES 2009 - The 10th International Conference on Product Focused
Software Development and Process Improvement.

June 15 - 17, 2009, Oulu, Finland

www.profes2009.org

PROFES conference series is celebrating its 10th anniversary! You are
cordially invited to be part of this event.

This year we are arranging PROFES (Product Focused Software
Development and Process Improvement) conference in Lasaretti, Oulu,
located in Northern Finland, June 15-17, 2009.

PROFES conferences have continuously attracted participants interested
in soft-ware process and product quality improvement. Traditionally,
attendees were com-ing in equal numbers from industry, research, and
academia. This confirms that the conference has provided topics, which
are up-to-date, important, and interesting. To ensure that PROFES will
retain its high standards and that it will keep focusing on the most
relevant research issues, the conference is widening its scope to the
research areas collaborative and agile software development and
software business
http://www.profes2009.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=63&Itemid=63
. We
believe that this will enable us to cover software development in a
more compre-hensive manner and tackle one of the most important
current challenges identi-fied by software industry and software
research community - namely the shift of focus from "products" to
"services".

PROFES 2009 conference will offer a unique forum for industry and
academic pro-fessionals to discuss their needs and ideas especially
from software as a busi-ness perspective.

PROFES 2009 facilitates the exchange of ideas in a number of ways,
including high-profile keynote speakers and professionals on the
cutting edge, technical presentations, special activity sessions,
panels, poster sessions, code camps, workshops, tutorials, and other
opportunities to exchange and elaborate the new findings.

PROFES 2009 also features a PhD Symposium for PhD students.

As in previous years, the proceedings of PROFES 2009 will be published
by Springer http://www.springer.com/ in the Lecture Notes of Computer
Science http://www.springer.com/lncs (LNCS) Series (acceptance by
