MESSAGE FROM THE ORGANIZERS
CSE 2008

Pakistan’s IT industry is growing at a very fast rate. The IT exports have grown considerably and so has the number of internal projects. But one thing that is still lacking is the strong industry-academia liaison which is very important for both the academia and the industry. The Higher Education Commission has made commendable efforts to improve this interaction and reduce the gap between the industry and the academia. COMSATS Institute of Information Technology has been playing its part in improving this scenario. For the software industry, it is a golden opportunity to get an insight into the standards and student quality of the participating universities and at the same time interact with executives of the participating companies. This can be an opportunity for them to market their skill set and strengths to the industry and academia.

Organised by:

Department CITC

COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Abbottabad

 







The CONFERENCE OF SOFTWARE ENTERPRISES is one such endeavor which has been quite successful in fostering close ties between academia and industry. CIIT recognizes the importance of this liaison and feels that much needs to be done to stop the two from working in seclusion. We believe that CONFERENCE OF SOFTWARE ENTERPRISES has been successful in breaking the ice and commencing fruitful discussions among university professors and industry executives.

CSE 2008 is designed to provide a common platform to Software Professionals, Academicians and Industry Executives to interact with each other. The Software Exhibition would have software companies displaying their state-of-the-art solutions and products. This would be an excellent opportunity for industry executives to interact with software companies and weigh their potential. The software exhibition has become an annual event conducted every year in the month of May. The third in its succession, this year’s event promises vast opportunities for promoting close liaison between the industry and academia. The first and second CSE proved quite beneficial in promoting this noble cause. This year’s event promises even more.

But the main aim of the event is to enable the Professors and Researchers of the universities be able to share their ideas and thoughts with the industry. Academicians need to have more opportunities to interact with industry professionals and get an idea of what the industry is requiring from them. Students and researchers are to gain the most from CONFERENCE OF SOFTWARE ENTERPRISES.

CONFERENCE OF SOFTWARE ENTERPRISES 2008 is designed to take this noble cause further. It is planned to bring Academicians, CEOs of Software Companies and Industrial Executives closer and possibly several project leads would also be generated from this event. The participating students would have a chance to mingle in with the software professionals and get a good understanding of the software products and services. On the spot CV collection and short listing shall also be done which shall then be forwarded to interested software companies.
