                  CALL FOR PAPERS AND REFEREES

    HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES - 22

              Software Design Tools and Techniques

            KAILUA-KONA, HAWAII - JANUARY 3-6, 1989

  The Software Track of HICSS-22 will contain a special set of
  papers focusing on  a broad selection of topics  in the area
  Software  Design Tools  and  Techniques.  The  presentations
  will provide a  forum to discuss new advances  in theory and
  applications in software design.

  The  need for  systematic software  design has  received in-
  creasingly widespread acceptance.  Researchers have been ac-
  tively  working on  various design  tools and  techniques to
  improve software development process. These design tools al-
  low for  design to be expressed  in a variety of  useful no-
  tations   including  requirement-oriented   representations,
  mathematical representations, and  programming language ori-
  ented representations. This session will explore development
  of new  design tools, methods  and notations as well  as im-
  provement of existing tools  and environment to help promote
  high levels  of software quality. Submissions  are solicited
  in various  topics of software design  tools, techniques and
  environments including:

     o   incremental definition & analysis of programs (syntax
         directed editors)
     o   distributed software design
     o   architectural design
     o   requirement specifications and analysis
     o   traceability throughout the system life cycle
     o   performance engineering analysis
     o   program and data structure display
     o   software architecture

  Papers are invited that  may be theoretical, conceptual, tu-
  torial or  descriptive in nature. Those  papers selected for
  presentation will appear in the Conference Proceedings which
  is published by  the Computer Society of  the IEEE. HICSS-22
  is sponsored by the University of Hawaii in cooperation with
  the ACM, the Computer Society,  and the Pacific Research In-
  stitute for Information Systems and Management (PRIISM).
