CeCSES is now part of the newly established Swinburne Centre for Information Technology Research as one of its key Research Programs. (December 2005)
The Centre for Component Software and Enterprise Systems (CeCSES, pronounced the same as 'success') is part of the Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies at Swinburne University of Technology. It conducts research into component based engineering of software and enterprise systems. It operates the Enterprise System Research Lab, which is particularly equipped to support research in software and enterprise systems. The group also provides consultancy to industry and governments in the areas of its expertise.

Key research areas addressed by the centre include:

  • component, object and service technologies
  • software and system architectures
  • system integration and evolution
  • adaptive software systems
  • service-oriented systems
  • software composition
  • software interoperability
  • software security
  • software performance
  • empirical studies of object and component software
  • CBSE processes, methodologies and foundations
  • software and system engineering tools.
