[comp.software-eng] CASE '90 Announcement

duncan@dduck.ctt.bellcore.com (Scott Duncan) (09/12/90)

Well, I messed up.  Forgetting that news.announce.conferences is moderated and
that my posting to it would not take effect automatically.  So here is the
information on the Fourth International Workshop on Computer-Aided Software
Engineering (Irvine, California, December 5-8, 1990).  Please note the Oct. 5th
deadline for position papers (required for attendance).

Also, I've edited the Program Committee membership list based on my knowledge
(as of the end of June) of who's a member.  Any omitted names are probably my
fault, therefore.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Call for Papers and Participation

Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) is the widespread commercial
application of software engineering techniques and computer technology to
information systems development. The mission of CASE '90 is to exchange,
synthesize, and disseminate ideas among users, developers, researchers, and
supporters of CASE with the goal of advancing CASE technology and its effective
use.  The theme for CASE '90 is Cooperation. CASE '90 is a limited attendance
workshop primarily for those interested in advancing the state-of-the-art of
CASE.  

Prospective attenders must submit 6 camera-ready copies of a one to two page
position paper in English by October 5, 1990.  Position papers should relate to
the cooperation of tools, people, methods and software and how they pertain to
the state-of-the-practice, research directions, and future requirements for
CASE in the workshop topic areas.  Submitters must include their name, address,
daytime phone number, and fax number if available. 

TOPIC AREAS

Working groups will discuss the current state-of-the-practice, research
directions, and consider future requirements in the following topic areas:

EXISTING SYSTEMS
	Maintenance & Management
	Reverse Engineering & Design Recovery
	Salvaging Software for Reuse

ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES
	CASE Tool Integration
	Repositories
	MetaCASE

MANAGING THE TRANSITIONS
	Use & Abuse of CASE
	Technology Transfer
	Methods & Tools to Support the Transitions
	Transition from Research to Product

METHODS & TOOLS
	Requirements Elicitation & Traceability
	Software Reuse
	Object Oriented Methods
	Formal Methods
	Verification & Validation Tools
	The Effect of CASE on Software Engineering Practices

GROUP & PROCESS MANAGEMENT
	Group Work Support Tools
	Metrics/Measurements/Risk Analysis
	Quality

CASE Standards Coordination - December 4-5, 1990

CASE '90 will host the fourth joint meeting of the various groups developing
CASE standards, in areas such as data interchange, tool interfaces, and
repositories, to coordinate the various efforts. Official representatives of
standards efforts should contact the standards coordination co-chairs to
receive pre-meeting materials.  The meeting will be open to all interested CASE
'90 attenders.

Exhibits / Tools Fair

In conjunction with CASE '90, a tools fair will include exhibits of state-of-
the-art CASE approaches, and the environments and tools to support them. Space
is available for commercial and non-commercial exhibits.  Contact one of the
Exhibits Co-Chairs listed below:

Guidelines for Position Papers

The following guidelines are suggested for position papers: users could
describe what capabilities are needed now, whatUs working and what isnUt, and
look ahead to their needs for the future; researchers and developers could
suggest technical challenges and objectives for the next five years; vendors
could review the present direction, constraints, and opportunities for CASE in
the marketplace.  Position papers must list 2-4 keywords including the workshop
topic area.

Advance Papers

The Program Committee will review papers and notify submitters of their
acceptance to attend the workshop.  Submitted position papers will be reviewed
by the Program Committee. All papers that are accepted will become part of the
bound pre-meeting Advance Papers book distributed to attenders for active use
and reference during the Workshop sessions. (Prior CASE Workshop Advance Papers
books were a bound 2-volume set containing over 200 submissions, representing
several hundred authors from about a dozen countries.)  Some attenders will be
invited to discuss their papers as the focus of CASE '90 discussions.

In addition, prospective attenders may submit longer papers (maximum of 5000
words) dealing with any of the workshop topic areas.  However, each co-author
must submit a position paper to be considered as a workshop attender.

One of CASE '90 Workshop's goals is to disseminate its working group results
and conclusions through published proceedings, or other appropriate means.

Format of Submissions

All papers should be formatted single-spaced for 8.5 by 11 inch paper with a
one inch margin left, right, top, and bottom.  A 10 point font is preferred.
Number pages in the upper-right corner.  The first page should begin with the
title, author(s), and affiliation(s) centered, and should not have a page
number.  Do not create a title page.

Machine-readable submissions are preferred.  Diskettes should be either
    (a) 3.5" Macintosh format with Microsoft Word or MacWrite files, embedded
          illustrations or tables okay;
    (b) 3.5S or 5.25" DS/DD IBM PC format with Microsoft Word, WordPerfect 5.0
          or ASCII files.
When sending any other media or word processor format, include six (6) copies
of your submission in hard copy, camera-ready form.

Send all papers to the closest regional program coordinator listed below.
Papers from North America and areas not listed should be addressed to the
Program Chair.
