[comp.ai.digest] IJCAI-89 Workshop on Automating Software Design

lowry@COYOTE.STANFORD.EDU (Mike Lowry) (05/04/89)

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: 
Automating  Software  Design 
IJCAI-89  Workshop; Detroit,  Michigan  USA
Monday, 21 August 1989


This international one day workshop will focus upon current approaches
to automating software design. We intend to discuss the capabilities
needed to push current work on knowledge-based software engineering to
the 'break-even' point: the point at which software development becomes
easier with a knowledge-based tool than without. Attendance will be
limited to 50 active researchers. The workshop will be evenly divided
between presentations and discussions which focus on the following two
topics:

1. Interactive acquisition of formal specifications.
2. Interactive and automatic synthesis of computer programs from 
	formal specifications. 


Important Dates

May 31	Those interested in attending should submit a one page
	description of their research interests and current work by May 31.
	Include name, mailing address, and electronic mail address.  At the
	same time, those interested in making a presentation should submit an
	abstract of 3-5 pages on their intended topic.  Electronic submissions
	are preferred and should  be sent to:

	autosoft@wheaties.ai.mit.edu
	Hard copy submissions should be sent to Robert McCartney. 

June 15	Notification of acceptance.

July 24 All participants may submit an extended abstract or
	position paper;  only camera ready hard copy will be accepted. Our
