Engineering robust, reliable software for today’s industrial systems is a major challenge. Software increasingly embodies the intellectual property that enables businesses to compete and as such is one of the major pillars upon which the success of a growing number of companies depends. And yet software engineering as a discipline often fails to meet the needs of organisations that are more and more dependent on it.

The Software-Centric Systems Conference facilitates the exchange of knowledge and experiences in the crucial and strategic discipline of complex software development. It is here to help professionals and decision makers in information-intensive markets with the use of technology, to drive innovation and to provide insight in emerging trends. Through structured and informal networking they can share ideas on how to make the software development process more reliable and more efficient, in order to improve the time-to-market and time-to-value.
