calls disruptive technologies. And in software engineering  there has been no technology more
disruptive than outsourcing. That it should so quickly reach maturity and an unparalleled scale
is truly remarkable  that it should now be called to demonstrate its sustainability in the
current ?nancial turmoil is the challenge that will prove whether and how it will endure. Early
signs under even the bleak market conditions of the last 12 months are that it will not only
survive  it will ?rmly establish its role across the world of business. Outsourcing throws into
sharp focus the entire software engineering life- cle. Topics as diverse as requirements
analysis  concurrency and model-checking need to ?nd a composite working partnership in
software engineering practice. This con?uence arises from need  not dogma  and the solutions
required are those that will have the right e?ect on the associated activities in the world of
the application: e.g.  reducing the time for a transaction or making the results of a complex
analysis available in real-time. While the business of outsourcing continues to be studied  the
engineering innovations that make it compelling are constantly changing. It is in this milieu
that this series of conferences has placed itself.
