The article presents information on the International Conference on Software Maintenance held in Bari, Italy which was sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Council on Software Engineering in 1997. The program for this conference addressed important maintenance issues, such as the year 2000 problem and preparing for the transition to network computing through paper presentations, industry reports panel discussions, tools demonstration and keynote addresses. The first paper under the title "Identifying Modules via Concept Analysis," by Michael Siff and Thomas Reps, presents a technique that addresses an important problem in reengineering and restructuring legacy code that is identifying modules. The second paper under the title "Measuring and Evaluating Maintenance Process Using Reliability, Risk and Test Metrics," by Norman F. Schneidewind, presents a measurement model that addresses an important problem in software maintenance measurement, measuring the stability of the maintenance process.

The 32nd annual IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference ( \textI^2 MTC) was held in historic and beautiful Pisa, Italy. The theme of the conference was “The Measurable of Tomorrow: Providing a Better Perspective on Complex Systems.” The first part of the title embraced the challenge of Galileo Galilei, “Measure what is measurable, and make measurable what is not so,” while the second part called for the instrumentation and measurement (I&M) community to face the increasing complexity of systems resulting from the continuous development of new technologies.

One of the main goals of software engineering is to provide methods to master complexity by practitioning large software systems into simpler components that can be addressed separately. A number of methods and techniques, distilled from experience and best practices, have been published in the literature to help software engineers in the application of the principle of divide and conquer to software systems development. A complex system can be characterized as a system whose properties cannot be studied by suitably decomposing it into components, but rather depend heavily on the interactions among such components. Some systems are inherently complex, that is, there is no way to identify components that simplify the analysis, in other cases, complexity may derive from the current lack of knowledge or experience, especially when new technologies are introduced and new application areas are discovered. The papers selected for this special section of the January/February issue of the journal IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, are representative of the ideas presented at the IEEE International Conference on Engineering Complex Computer Systems, held in Como, Italy. This special section presents four papers selected from those presented at the conference.
