ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The International Scientific and Practical Conference of Young Scientists and Students “Software Engineering and Advanced Information Technologies” (SoftTech) serves as a platform where academic staff, students, postgraduate and doctoral students, and IT industry representatives can discuss current issues in software engineering.

The conference is organized by the Department of Informatics and Software Engineering of the Faculty of Informatics and Computer Science at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.

The goal of the conference is to engage students, young scientists, and IT professionals in discussing pressing problems in the field of software engineering.

Key thematic areas of the conference include:
1. Modern programming languages, paradigms, architectures, and programming methods.
2. Quantum software engineering.
3. Parallel and distributed computing.
4. High-performance computing and Big Data processing.
5. Database and knowledge base models.
6. Methods for software testing, verification, quality assessment, and optimization.

Crucially, the conference also serves as a forum for discussing the department’s educational programs. These regular discussions involve academic staff, students, members of the academic community, and representatives of employers (stakeholders).

One such meeting will take place on May 6-8, 2026, as part of the 10th International Scientific and Practical Conference SoftTech-2026. During this event, the department’s leadership, faculty, students, academic peers, and industry partners will participate in a public discussion of the “Quantum Software Engineering” educational and professional program. We cordially invite all interested parties to join this discussion and provide recommendations for the program’s improvement.

It is worth noting that during the 8th International Scientific and Practical Conference SoftTech-2025 (held on May 13-15, 2025), the department’s leadership, faculty, young scientists, students, and IT professionals held a public discussion regarding the “Software Engineering of Information Systems” educational-professional and educational-scientific programs. The participants reviewed the implementation details of these programs and proposed strategies to enhance the quality of teaching.
