The success of annual events like the Asia SEPG^SM conferences demonstrates the ongoing vitality and adaptability of continuous, measured improvement. The Software Engineering Institute champions this ideal and congratulates those planning to attend Asia SEPG^SM on their active involvement in process improvement.
In a forum like Asia SEPG^SM, the exchange of ideas and case studies shows how creative, motivated professionals have shaped process improvement to fit their own organizational culture, strengths, and challenges. Process improvement gains refinement and strength with every implementation—especially when professionals share their experiences and viewpoints with the community at events like Asia SEPG^SM.
Whether you are a novice or an expert in process improvement , a pioneer in your organization or a member of a well established software process improvement group, I expect that you will find the ideas at this conference energizing and rewarding as you contemplate your personal development and your organization's goals.
Sincerely,

WILLIAM C. PETERSON, Director,

It gives me immense pleasure to invite you to the 5th SEPG^SM Conference. As always, the Conference brings an opportunity for the process improvement and quality community to get together and deliberate the challenges ahead.
I am happy to announce that QAI has instituted an award with the Computer Society of India to promote leadership in business excellence. The coveted Best Paper and Best Practice Awards remain, for which there has been a larger than ever before number of submissions.
With a newer focus, new themes, and a new city I hope that the SEPG^SM Conference will be as useful as it has always been.

Striving toward a knowledge base economy means directing our human intellectual capital and resources to innovation & technological advances in all industries. This push must be clearly balanced with dedication to quality and commitment to process improvement. To this end, the CMMI® gives organizations a model in which measurable improvement in the control, predictability and effectiveness of the processes can be attained whether in manufacturing, outsourcing, logistics, healthcare, or ICT. With these best and essential practices in the engineering systems & software disciplines, it will generate a heightened quality in our products and, once again, ingrain the quality culture in our people in the execution of our processes.
