Speaker: Ohad Barzilay Title: Reflections on ICSE 2009 Abstract: ICSE, the International Conference on Software Engineering, is the premier software engineering conference, providing a forum for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences and concerns in the field of software engineering. In this talk I share my impressions and reflections of ICSE 2009 that was held in May 16-24, 2009 in Vancouver, Canada. It had more than 1000 attendees in various parallel tracks and co located events including research papers, workshops, tutorials, poster sessions, keynotes speakers and others. In particuar I would try to identify global software engineering community trends as reflected in the conference.
