The engineering of Software Development Environments for interactive software
construction has recently made dramatic strides forward. This workshop will
address the next step in the design of environments -- support for the special
needs of very large scale applications in all phases of the software life-cy-
cle. Topics of interest include: design of modifiable environments, generic
support for methodologies, requirements specification and prototyping, change
control and consistency management, transformation techniques, formalisms for
integrating phases of the life cycle, program-design languages, wide-spectrum
languages, software information databases and others as they apply to the spe-
cial needs of programming-in-the-large.
Workshop
The workshop will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences
among researchers and practitioners active in the relevant areas. An informal
atmosphere is intended to encourage the emergence of new perspectives. For
the sake of these goals, attendance will be limited to 60-70 selected appli-
cants representing a broad spectrum.
