			 Seventh Annual
	  Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference
			CALL FOR PAPERS

Original papers are solicited on all aspects of software quality.
Conference attendance will be about 400 software professionals from
industry, government, and universities.	 This year's keynote speaker is
Capers Jones.  Papers will be selected on the basis of abstracts, then
refereed for publication in the Proceedings.  Any topic related to
software quality is of interest, for example:

productivity and quality   parallel software	     legal issues
re-engineering software	   object-oriented design    testing technology
real-time software	   cost/schedule estimation  risk management
project management	   design methodologies	     software metrics
user interfaces		   documentation	     CASE environments
reusability		   software standards	     version control

We are particularly interested in reports of direct experience with
methods, ideas, and tools.

Abstracts should be 2-4 pages long, with enough detail to give
reviewers an understanding of the final paper, including a rough
outline of its contents.  Indicate if the most likely audience is
technical or managerial, and please make clear the topic's relevance to
software quality.  Include a cover page with:

     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).
