The First Annual Oregon Workshop on Software Metrics The First Annual Oregon Workshop on Software Metrics will be held in Portland Oregon on March 1 and 2, 1989. The workshop will bring together both practioners and researchers from throughout the country to discuss the application and use of software metrics. In order to ensure close interaction among participants, attendance will be limited to 75. The first day of the workshop will consist of a tutorial on software metrics, followed by presentations from practitioners currently using metrics. The second day of the workshop will include presentations by metrics researchers and a panel session addressing how well current metrics serve the needs of the software development community. The First Annual Oregon Workshop on Software Metrics is being jointly sponsored by the Oregon Center for Advanced Technology Education, Portland State University and Oregon State University.

Just a reminder that the pre-registration deadline for the First Annual Oregon Workshop on Software Metrics (March 1 and 2 in Portland, Oregon) is February 23. We will be having presentations on how metrics are be- ing used at Ashton-Tate, Sun Microsystems, Bell Communications, and HP as well as presentations by researchers from Iowa State, Virginia Tech and North Dakota State. The first morning will be devoted to a tutorial on Software Metrics, and the second afternoon will include a panel ses- sion discussing where metrics are today, and where they are going in the future. To register, call Roger Olsen at the Oregon Center for Advanced Technology Education at 503-464-4860. Attendence will be limited, and the Workshop looks like it is filling up rapidly.
