The SC10 Technical Program will feature 13 workshops highlighting aspects of the SC10 technological thrust areas and 33 tutorials showcasing current and developing practices in the community.
The IEEE Computer Society booth will be located in the L2 lobby. Among the hundreds of prizes being given away are organizers, notebooks, t-shirts, magazine subscriptions, copies of the Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) and six-month access to courseware for the Certified Software Development Associate (CSDA) or Certified Software Development Professional (CSDP) credentials.
