ADVANCE PROGRAM FOR THE SECOND ANNUAL OREGON WORKSHOP
ON SOFTWARE METRICS - March 19-20, 1990
Portland, Oregon
After a hiatus of several years, software metrics have emerged
as one of the promising new developments in the software industry.
Until the advent of the Annual Oregon Workshop on Software Metrics
in 1989 no international forum entirely devoted to making software
metrics accessible to industrial users was available. The 1990 Oregon
Workshop on Software Metrics will gather international software metric
researchers and practitioners together to discuss solutions and
problems in the application of software metrics to industrial problems.
We are looking forward to meeting you at Portland State University in
Portland, Oregon on March 19 for what will certainly be the most exciting
event of the year for software metric users.

I forgot to mention when I posted the program to the Second Annual Oregon Workshop on Software Metrics earlier, that registration info can be had by calling Roger Olsen at the Oregon Center for Advanced Technology Education (503/690-1460, FAX: 503/690-1466). Attendance will be limited again this year, so if you're interested you may want to give Roger a call, and at least get the brochure/poster sent to you. Last year we had to turn away a few dozen people, so we really do observe our limits :-) Warren ========================================================================== Warren Harrison warren@cs.pdx.edu Department of Computer Science 503/725-3108 Portland State University Portland, OR 97207-0751 ========================================================================== Warren Harrison warren@cs.pdx.edu Department of Computer Science 503/725-3108 Portland State University
