The Canadian University Software Engineering Conference (formerly Canadian Undergraduate Software Engineering Conference), or CUSEC, is a conference held yearly around mid-January at various cities of Canada since 2002. Country to "Dominion of Canada" or "Canadian Federation" or anything else please read the Talk Page The conference promotes software engineering around a unique theme each year. Software engineering is the application of a systematic disciplined quantifiable approach to the development operation and maintenance of Software. Its audience is mostly the undergraduate students from different parts of Canada, with occasional participants from the academia or from the industry. Keynote speeches, tutorials, and corporate and academic presentations are given by the top figures and personalities in software engineering. In Canada, it is one of the most well known technological conferences among the academia and the industry, and an important development in the still young and rapidly evolving discipline of software engineering.
History
In 2000, John Kopanas, then an undergraduate student in the new software engineering programme at Concordia University, envisioned the creation of a conference "by students, for students" in the field of software engineering. Concordia University is a comprehensive Public university located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He and fellow students in the same programme then put together plans and set them in motion. The result of their effort was the first edition of the conference, CUSEC 2002, which took place in Montreal, lasted 2 days, and attracted an audience of over 150 students from across Canada. Montreal, or Montréal in French ( pronounced in French, in English) is the largest city in the Canadian province of Quebec
Witnessing the success of the first conference, Kopanas decided to continue the tradition and expand the conference. Today, in 2007, the number of attendees has grown to over 250 students and professionals. The number of keynote speeches has also increased to five while the conference now lasts three days instead of two.
