Abstract

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 40th International Conference on Software Engineering in Gothenburg, Sweden. Science and research, as well as the openness to new ideas and new people, are an important part of the Scandinavian culture. Sweden hosts many high technology companies in which software plays an essential role. The Town of Gothenburg, with its two internationally renowned universities, variety of ICT and related companies, with many cultural attractions, and beautiful natural surroundings, welcomes you!

This year's ICSE is unique in at least two respects. ICSE 2018 celebrates its 40th anniversary. During its journey, ICSE has developed to the premier conference in Software Engineering, known for its quality, excellence, attractiveness, and inspirational atmosphere. We pay tribute to the 40th anniversary with a collection of memories of previous conferences printed in a booklet, and with a celebration session gathering all previous chairs to thank them for their devoted and highly successful work. The second unique event of this conference is the celebration of the 50 years of Software Engineering, that is considered to be born at the NATO Software Engineering Conference 1968, held in Garmisch, where the term Software Engineering was established. We honor this event with keynotes which have direct impact of the Software Engineering development and a panel with some of the participants of the 1968 conference.

ICSE 2018 is, however, not only about the past. It is much about the present and the future - and in particular, about the essence of Software Engineering - collaboration between industry and academia, practitioners and researchers. ICSE 2018 hosts a one-day Industry Forum event gathering researchers and practitioners and offering talks of prominent researchers and experts from leading software and software-intensive systems companies.
