                      Call for Papers

                1st IRVINE SOFTWARE SYMPOSIUM

                       June 5, 1991

               University of California, Irvine
                     Irvine, California

IRUS, a new software research alliance centered at the University of
California, Irvine, is sponsoring the first of what will be annual
meetings on software engineering.  The purpose of this symposium is to
bring together researchers and practitioners to share ideas and
experiences through paper presentations and panel discussions.
Emphasis will be on early dissemination of new ideas and empirical
evaluation and experience with software techniques on actual projects.
Abstracts and panel proposals are invited on new approaches and
experiences.

The Irvine Research Unit in Software (IRUS) was established to promote
interaction between research and industry on current software issues,
to facilitate cooperative problem-solving groups, and to provide
information sharing in the field of software engineering.  IRUS is
sponsoring this symposium as well as many other activities, including
monthly technical roundtables, a lecture series, short courses, and a
newsletter.

ABSTRACTS OF 1000--2000 WORDS ARE DUE BY MARCH 31, 1991.  They should
present enough information to evaluate the contribution of the full
paper.  The Co-Program Chairs for the symposium are Prof. Nancy Leveson
and Prof. Richard Selby.  The program committee will review all
submissions for quality and relevance.  Authors should send six copies
of their abstract or panel proposal by March 31 to:

        Richard Selby
