   **************************************************************************

ICSE's twentieth birthday affords an opportunity to reflect on
profound changes of the past two decades. Since ICSE's founding,
politics and technology have converged to shatter once formidable
barriers to international cooperation.

The collapse of the Berlin Wall symbolizes the end of the Cold War,
and links in a Web page are a metaphor for our enhanced capacity for
global information exchange. In this spirit, we have worked hard to
ensure that ICSE98 will see an unprecedented increase in the level of
international participation and provide an opportunity to highlight
the interests and accomplishments of members from the Asian-Pacific
region. Yet our outreach must extend beyond geography. As we continue
to build bridges to other software disciplines, researchers and
practitioners in allied fields will benefit from an understanding of
the contributions that software engineering can make to their work. In
turn, we must address their problems in our research.

New collaborations between academia and industry will also enrich
ICSE98 and our profession as a whole. The presentation of top-notch
papers will, of course, constitute the core activity of
ICSE98. Cutting edge research will be showcased in technical paper
sessions, workshops, panels, posters, demonstrations, and special
sessions devoted to the lessons learned from building large and
complex software systems.  We hope you will take advantage of this
unique opportunity to meet new colleagues, exchange ideas, and explore
the nearly limitless possibilities that lie ahead. Join us in Kyoto
for ICSE98 and share the excitement that comes from forging new links.

               *************************************
		Posters and Research Demonstrations
               *************************************
Posters and Research Demonstrations provide an excellent opportunity
to show late-breaking results and to discuss the results with the
conference participants. Interactive communication and demonstration
will be the most exciting and powerful presentation.

Posters: All types of work in software engineering can be presented
effectively using posters during the conference. Display space will be
provided in the poster and research demonstration room. A description
of each poster will appear in the proceedings for posters and research
demonstrations.

Research Demonstrations: Research demonstrations are intended to show
early implementation of novel software engineering concepts. Research
demonstrations will be scheduled into blocks of time for
demonstration. In addition, a booth will be provided in the poster and
research demonstration room to allow informal demonstrations
throughout the conference. A description of each research
demonstration will appear in the proceedings for research
demonstrations. We consider any system which is at least six months
away from appearing in a commercial product as a "research
system". Commercial systems will not be accepted as research
demonstrations.

		Asia Pacific Forum 
               ********************
	Monday, April 20 - Tuesday, April 21 (Tentative)

ICSE98 provides an opportunity for exchanging ideas and/or information
for researchers and practitioners in Asia-Pacific Region. At ICSE17 in
Seattle 1994, we had a workshop on "Asian Approaches to Software
Engineering". It was very successful. We are planning to have a
similar event in Kyoto. And it will also be possible to implement
other plans such as to have a forum to discuss emerging Asian software
markets, or for special exhibits of software engineering tools made in
Asia.

		Doctoral Symposium
                ******************
	Tuesday, April 21  9:00am-5:00pm

The ICSE 98 Doctoral Symposium is a one day workshop prior to the
regular ICSE technical conference. The goal of the doctoral symposium
is to publicly discuss research goals, methods, and results at an
early stage of Ph.D. research and provide useful guidance for
completion of the dissertation research. The symposium will also
provide an opportunity for student participants to interact with each
other as well as with established researchers and engineers in the
field.

As the systems of doctoral courses are different by cultures, we are
expecting participants coming from America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and
all over the world. We also plan to discuss how common or different
the doctoral systems are among countries.

               *******************************************
		WELCOME TO KYOTO IN CHERRY BLOSSOM SEASON
			CITY OF HISTORY AND LEARNING 	
               *******************************************
Kyoto, a city with 1,200 years of history, is the cultural soul of
Japan. Nestled among low mountains, it is blessed with both natural
beauty and a rich historical legacy. It is the ideal site for
international conventions. From its establishment as Japan's capital
in 794 until the Meiji Restoration in 1868, Kyoto flourished as the
center of government, commerce and culture in Japan. Traditional arts
and an abundance of shrines and temples give the city its distinct
character. With nearly 1.5 million residents, Kyoto is a vibrant
mixture of old and new. Many high-tech firms have chosen it as their
headquarters, and the city boasts 47 public and private colleges and
universities. These significant intellectual resources combine with
Kyoto's long history and tradition to provide an ideal milieu for
innovation and creativity.
			NATURAL BEAUTY 
Kyoto is a panorama of the changing seasons: from the springtime
cherry blossoms lining narrow walkways, the lush greenery of summer,
to the brilliant autumn foliage of Japanese maples and the delicate
layer of snow covering the surrounding mountainsides in winter. The
passage of seasons is also evident in the beautiful gardens of Kyoto's
ancient temples and shrines.
			CULTURAL HERITAGE 
Reflecting its long history as the cultural and religious center of
Japan, Kyoto is home to nearly 2,000 Buddhist temples and Shinto
shrines. The city's international cultural significance was recognized
when 17 historical sites in Kyoto were designated as UNESCO World
Cultural Heritage Sites. Kyoto is the location of 20% of Japan's
national treasures. More than 60 museums throughout the city offer
visitors the opportunity to view priceless works of art and important
cultural objects.
			KYOTO INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE HALL 
Japan's leading convention center, the Kyoto International Conference
Hall, is a complex consisting of seven separate conference halls, the
largest of which can hold 2,000 persons. Another 70 conference rooms
of various sizes are available for smaller meetings. Two large banquet
halls and a Japanese landscape garden offer additional settings for
convention participants to meet and communicate informally.
			TRANSPORT 
Kyoto has many modern hotels with accommodations for up to 20,000
visitors. Located near the center of Japan, it is readily accessible
by land and air. The high-speed Shinkansen (bullet train) links Tokyo
with Kyoto in 2 hours and 15 minutes. Overseas visitors arriving at
Kansai International Airport (KIX) have a comfortable 75-minute ride
by the JR Haruka Express train to Kyoto Station. There is a direct
subway link from Kyoto Station to Kyoto International Conference Hall,
taking about 20 minutes.
