Introduction

We are looking for insightful and thought-provoking papers that address the role and impact of software engineering in society. Specifically, we are seeking contributions that can help to understand how software engineering will address the opportunities and challenges posed by the rapidly accelerating pace of technological advances impacting the economic, political, environmental, social and technical aspects of society.

We would like also to discuss new trends in software development, in which software is only a part of a larger system, and its development is tackled within the specific disciplines (indicated below) with a limited (or without) involvement of software experts. The goal is to investigate the reasons for this trend and to analyse possible novel contributions from the software engineering disciplines and research challenges.
