SIGSOFT

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)'s Special Interest Group on Software Engineering (SIGSOFT) provides a forum for computing professionals from industry, government, and academia to examine principles, practices, and new research results in software engineering. SIGSOFT was officially formed in 1976¹ as the Special Interest Committee on Software Engineering (SICSOFT) by Tony Wasserman and R. Stockton Gaines, and converted to SIGSOFT in 1977. SIGSOFT focuses on issues related to all aspects of software development and maintenance, with emphasis on requirements, specification and design, software architecture, validation, verification, debugging, software safety, mining software repositories, software processes, software management, measurement, user interfaces, configuration management, software engineering environments, AI for software engineering, and CASE tools. SIGSOFT (co-)sponsors conferences and symposia including the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE), the ACM International Conference on the Foundations of Software Engineering (FSE) and other events. SIGSOFT publishes the informal bimonthly newsletter Software Engineering Notes (SEN) newsletter with papers, reports and other material related to the cost-effective, timely development and maintenance of high-quality software.
