Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

case studies           parallel software       productivity and quality
liability              object-oriented design  testing technology
real-time software     risk management         cost/schedule estimation

CASE environments      reusability             software standards
version control        off-the-shelf software  re-engineering software

ABSTRACTS should include enough detail to give reviewers an under-
standing of the final paper, including a rough outline of its con-
tents.  Describe what has been learned, the work's implications, in
preference to giving details of what was done.  The abstract should be
2-4 pages long.

   PLEASE INDICATE:
     if the work is experimental or theoretical,
     whether software has been implemented,
     whether a case study is described,
     if the most likely audience is managerial or technical.

   ON A SEPARATE SHEET PROVIDE:
     paper title,
     complete mailing address, telephone, e-mail address,
     a list of keywords/phrases identifying the subject,
     a brief biographical sketch of the author(s).
