This paper summarizes the progress made in clarifying and analyzing the framework of interdisciplinary software engineering, which was first formulated at STEP2002, Montreal. The framework identified ideas, models and techniques which are in common use by other disciplines, and are deemed applicable to software engineering to address a number of outstanding issues in software engineering practice. One year and two further workshops down the line, we take stock of achievements, outline changes and draw plans for future work in the area. We report the discussions at the workshops, present a revised framework and highlight areas where further work is needed.
