Plan Ahead for ICSE 2003

Start making plans for a visit to the Pacific Northwest! ICSE'03 will be in Portland Oregon, May 3-10, 2003. ICSE will be taking over the Hilton Portland Hotel, which is located right in downtown Portland, close to many excellent restaurants. The main conference will be Tuesday to Thursday, with Tutorials before the conference and several co-located workshops before and after the conference. 
 The Internet, globalization, e-commerce, e-government, open source, security and ultra-reliability are just some of the influences affecting software engineering. As with past ICSE's, we hope to attract participants with a wide range of software engineering experiences and to create a forum for exchanging ideas about current and best practices, outstanding problems, and future directions. As the premier software engineering conference, ICSE is the best venue for publishing research results as well as industrial and educational experience reports. 
The ICSE'03 organizing committee is in place and planning is underway. If you have suggestions for activities associated with the conference, contact the appropriate organizer. Contact information and submission dates can be found at
