Software engineering in Asia: A report on the 10th International Conference on Software Engineering, April 11--16, 1988, Singapore: (Foreign trip report)

The complete trip report describes my impressions of the 10th International Conference on Software Engineering held in Singapore in April, 1988. I attended Tom DeMarco's and Tim Lister's tutorial on Software Productivity: The Human Side, Barry Boehm's tutorial on Software Risk Management, and the conference, where I focused on the panel sessions. I attended paper sessions for topics that appeared of particular interest. On Saturday the 16th I participated in site visits to the Singapore National Computer Board's Information Technology Institute and the National University of Singapore's Institute of System Science. Since the conference was in Southeast Asia and was attended mostly by Asians (about 700 attendees and only 100 or so from North America and Europe), its focus was very much on software engineering and software technology in Asia. It was crystal clear that Japan is the leader and is assisting less advantaged countries such as Singapore, China, Malaysia, Philippines and India to develop their software industries. Japan dominates Asia technically and economically.
