The SOMET (Intelligent Software Methodology Tools, and Techniques) conferences series was initiated in 2002 in Paris and for 20 years it has done great efforts to demonstrate the role of software technologies in innovation to capture the essence of a new state-of-the-art in software science and its supporting technology, and to identify the challenges that such a technology would have to master. This conference has brought together researchers and practitioners to share their original research results and practical development experience in software science and related new technologies.
