Introduction

In academia, staggering and extensive research activities on software process can be seen happening, which encompasses a range of topics that cover from requirement analysis, design, implementation to verification and validation, maintenance, and deployment. As interesting as the research activities may be, often the research lacks the real practice experience. The real practice takes place in the industries, where the theories are put into practice in actual settings. The only downside to this is, the lack of research value in their product development. For instance, a number of of-the-shelve systems' robustness is poor, i.e. slow performance, and they often missed out the usability aspect of the systems, i.e. interaction and responsiveness. Synergizing the two – academic and industry, together will definitely complement each other and at the same time, it will be able to reduce the gap between the industries and the academia. This conference will be the platform for the academicians, researchers, practitioners, to discuss, among others, the role of institutions of higher learning in equipping the students for the industries, the ways we can realize theoretical research findings in actual context, and the role of industries in strengthening research activities and development. These efforts reflect the aim of synergizing research and practice towards quality software.
