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. For more information contact:

Thank you to everyone who responded to my earlier posting about the
First Annual Oregon Workshop on Software Metrics, to be held March 1
and 2 in Portland Oregon. If I have your US Mail address already,
you are on our mailing list to receive the brochure.
I am taking the liberty of duplicating it in this posting in case anyone
would like to find out what will be going on at the Workshop. If you
send me your US Mail address, I will make sure you receive a copy of
the brochure when it gets back from the printers. If you'd like to
find out more about the Workshop, give me a call at 503-464-3108, or to
register, call the Oregon Center for Advanced Technology Education
(OCATE) at 503-464-4860, and mention the Workshop on Software Metrics.
While I am partly responsible for the technical program, administrative
details are handled by OCATE so if you want to know if we can take Purchase
Orders or bank cards, if you can just register for one day, or whatever,
call OCATE.

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.
