The PROFES Organizing Committee is proud to present the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Product-Focused Software Process Improvement (PROFES 2008), held in Frascati - Monteporzio Catone, Rome, Italy. Since its inception in 1999, PROFES has become a recognized international conference dedicated to software process improvement (SPI) driven by product and service quality needs. This edition focused on quality engineering and management, exploring processes, methods, techniques, tools, organizations, and enabling SPI. It showcased practical solutions and relevant academic research, particularly in rapidly growing domains like the automotive and mobile applications industries, which require ongoing professional development. As embedded software development increasingly relies on collaboration, PROFES 2008 addressed various development modes, roles in the value chain, stakeholder perspectives, collaborative efforts, and economic and quality considerations, including agile development. The conference aimed to highlight recent findings and innovative results in process improvement, fostering discussions among researchers, experienced professionals, and technology providers globally.
