2024 - International Conference on Product-Focused Software
Process Improvement</b></h2>
<p>December 2-4, 2024 Tartu, Estonia</p>
<p><b>PROFES </b>is among the top recognized software development
and process improvement conferences. The objective is to provide a
premier forum for practitioners, researchers, and educators to
present and discuss experiences, ideas, innovations, as well as
concerns related to professional software process improvement
motivated by product and service quality needs.<br>
</p>
<p

<b>industrial track of PROFES 2024</b> offers an opportunity for
practitioners to present their results from applying novel product
and process-oriented software engineering methods in an industrial
context and to deepen the exchange with fellow practitioners as
well as members of academia. We seek contributions from industrial
and academic researchers on topics related to the PROFES 2024
conference about software engineering and systems in practice,
sharing their experiences, challenges, successes, and evaluations
in all stages of technology readiness levels.</p>

them up for discussion. Proposals for Industrial Talks must be
submitted as a 2-page Extended Abstract (following the Springer
LNCS style guidelines). Accepted submissions will be presented at
the conference, but the submitted talk proposals will not be
included in the proceedings. Submissions will be evaluated based
