International Conference on Product-Focused Software Process Improvement

PROFES Steering Committee

The PROFES Steering Committee is responsible for constituting and guiding each edition of PROFES, the International Conference on Product-Focused Software Process Improvement and for establishing and evaluating practices that are binding upon the organizers of each conference for the continued technical success of PROFES.

In January 2017, we implemented a new concept for the SC membership. The PROFES SC now consists of two permanent members and the General Chairs of the two past, the current, and future PROFES. Changes happen after the respective conference, when the decision about the future event was made.

The table below lists the current PROFES Steering Committee members.
