SEMAT (Software Engineering Method and Theory) is an initiative to reshape software engineering such that software engineering qualifies as a rigorous discipline. The initiative was launched in December 2009 by Ivar Jacobson, Bertrand Meyer, and Richard Soley.A significant number of world-class experts in the field of software engineering endorse the initiative's Call for Action. The signatories include Scott Ambler, Barry Boehm, Erich Gamma, Watts Humphrey, Ken Schwaber etc. The initiative is also supported by corporations such as IBM, Microsoft, Ericsson, ABB and Samsung. Some of the signatories are known in the field for well established software engineering models or methods, which are not always compatible. Yet the consensus on the initiative shows that they agree with the importance of refounding software engineering.
