[comp.software-eng] For Sale: Proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on the Next Generation of CASE tools

sjbr@ut-emx.uucp (Sjaak Brinkkemper) (05/20/91)

Last week the 2nd Workshop on the Next Generation of CASE tools took
place in Trondheim, Norway, organized by the Norwegian Institute
of Technology in Trondheim and the University of Jyvaskyla in Finland. 

Eleven research groups focussing on CASE tools were present to
discuss their work and research issues about CASE:
- Syti; Univ. Jyvaskyla, Finland
- SOCRATES; SERC, Netherlands
- Observ; Tel Aviv Univ., Israel
- Rhapsody; Norwegian Inst. Technology, Norway
- Risc; City University, United Kingdom
- Triad, SISU, Sweden
- Teq; Aalborg Univ., Danmark
- Wise; Univ. Queensland, Australia
- Expect, Eindhoven Univ. Technology, Netherlands
- Univ. Paris, France
- Umist, United Kingdom

Some copies of the proceedings are available to the general public for a 
moderate price. Mail your orders to:

Veli-Pekka Tahvanainen
Dept. of Computer Science and Information Systems
P.O. Box 35
SF-40351 Jyvaskyla
Finland
E-mail: vpt@jytko.jyu.fi

Price information:
Payments must be made in the Finnish currency, where one FIM is at
the moment roughly 0.25 US Dollar.
An invoice will be sent along with the shipment. Credit cards cannot be 
accepted .

Shipping examples (1st class/air mail):

copies | Europe |  North America |  Australia |
-------------------------------------------------
1      | FIM 61 |  FIM 89        |  FIM 123   |
2      | FIM 76 |  FIM 113       |  FIM 193   |

Surface mail is considerably cheaper, but takes 1-2 months
to North America and 2-3 months to Australia. I don't have 
the exact figures.

The proceedings contain 24 papers and are approximately 500 pages (= 1 inch)
thick. The papers are very interesting and of high quality. Special focus
of the workshop was on:
- new innovations of tools
- integration of tools and methods in CASE environments
- CASE Shells
- CASE and CSCW
- meta-modelling
 
Underneath I give the table of contents. Next year the workshop will be in
Manchester, United Kingdom. Those interested in participation should mail
me some info on the topic of their research and some references to
public domain papers. A call for papers will be on the net shortly after 
the summer.
