SEAFOOD 2010 is highly-structured interactive forum for software developers. Two-day conference consists of several practical sessions, including industry and education sectors. The fourth in the SEAFOOD series, examines distributed software development from a software engineering perspective. Its goals include:

• Highlighting problems faced by industry and provide a forum to share good practices.
  
• Spotlighting new processes, models, techniques and tools emerging from research efforts that are crucial to distributed development, and provide an opportunity for industry transfer.
  
• Building a community of educators either offering or planning to offer global software development experiences for students, so as to share project plans and lessons.

Ivar Jacobson will make welcome speech on the first day of the event. He is an outstanding figure in the world of software engineering, author of Oriented Software Engineering — OOSE method, one of the originators of the most popular visual modeling language – UML, originator of Specification and Design Language (SDL), which became the standard for telecommunication industry. Together with Grady Booch and Jim Rambo, Ivar is the integral part of the well-known group of three – "Three Amigos".

Another IT guru, Richard Soley, will be the next top-level guest to speak. He is head of the board of directors at Object Management Group, and CEO at SOA Consortium. Dr. Soley joined OMG as Technical Director, leading the development of OMG's world-leading standardization process and the original CORBA® specification.
