The articles of this volume will not be reviewed individually. From the preface: The International Software Engineering Symposium 2001 (ISES'O1) is to be held from March 22nd to March 28th in Wuhan, China. This symposium is organized by Wuhan University, China and Waseda University, Japan, and co-organized by the Administrative Committee of the East Lake New Technology Development Zone of Wuhan Municipal Government and the Science and Technology Commission of Wuhan Municipal Government. The purpose of this symposium is to boost discussion about the trends and front fields of software engineering and promote communication of research achievements and academic ideas between people who are engaged in research, development, management and teaching of software engineering. The program committee invited some world-renowned experts and academicians to give presentations in the symposium. In order to facilitate understanding of these high-level achievements, we requested the invited speakers to rearrange their speeches into 20 invited papers, which we put in the first section of the ISES'O1 Proceedings. The other sections of the proceedings are the 70 formal papers out of more than one hundred submitted papers, which have been strictly censored by the program committee. They are organized into ten different topics: UML and software pattern, objectoriented method and technology, software reuse, software engineering method and technology, program analysis and transformation, database and data manipulation, geographic information system, CSCW and information security, software process management, evolutionary computation and distributed computation.
