The main subject of discussion was problems and prospects of
developing Ukrainian Software market. The results were as
follows:
Today the most important problem for Ukrainian companies is to
create a productive environment for development of software
engineering. We have to support an interest to IT-activity, to
share knowledge, information, and experience in software
engineering activity using Internet forums, electronic newsletters
and periodicals, to organize conferences, exhibitions and seminars,
to promote Ukrainian and Russian books and materials of software
engineering.
Organization of these activities could be possible in the
framework of Guild of software engineering professionals.
At present it’s very important to enlist government
support in such directions as adopting of up-to-date
practice-oriented standards of software engineering, registration
of corresponding educational and scientific specialties in the
Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, contributing to
educational programs in increasing the software engineering level
of IT specialists.
There is a need to arrange contacts with foreign organizations,
which specialize in software engineering development, to get
assistance in realization educational and practical projects of
software engineering in Ukraine to international grants,
participating in forming of contemporary international
certification system in software engineering, similar certification
systems of project management from PMI and IPMA, providing
practical assistance to Ukrainian software companies in the
organization of their certification to be in compliance with ISO
and CMM principles.
