CIPS EDMONTON '88 November 15-17, 1988 Convention Centre, Edmonton CHAOS INTO ORDER is the theme of the Sixth Annual CIPS Edmonton Computer Conference, sponsored jointly by the Edmonton Section of CIPS and the Department of Computing Science of the University of Alberta. The confer- ence will examine methods, tools and organizational approaches for bringing order to areas of information processing that are currently facing rapid growth and evolution, and implicitly, potential chaos. The main streams of the conference will be data management, communications management, and systems and software management. A common thread running through these streams will be the application of computer-aided software engineering (CASE) as an ordering principle. This conference will bring together both academic and business speakers, providing a unique blend of theoretical and practical viewpoints. The conference will present such internationally recognized personalities as LARRY ELLISON, president and CEO of ORACLE CORPORATION and ALAN KAY, futurist and visionary with APPLE COMPUTER.
