                   (During the TOOLS PACIFIC week)

            Call for participation and registration form


The seventh Eiffel Users Conference will be the first ever to be held
in  the  Pacific  region,  reflecting  the  growing  use of Eiffel in
industrial and academic organizations in the Far East.

The Conference will take place during the week of  TOOLS  (Technology
of Object-Oriented Languages and Systems), held in Sydney on November
28-30.

As with the past six conferences,  the  November  1990  meeting  will
provide  a  forum  for  users  to share experiences and interact with
implementors. An added attraction of the seventh  conference  is  the
emerging  availability  of  third-party Eiffel tools and libraries of
reusable classes.

The conference will be held in Sydney,  Australia,  on  November  27.
The  venue  is  the  Ramada Renaissance, 30 Pitt Street, Sydney.  The
conference will proceed half-day, from 1pm to 5:30pm, followed  by  a
reception.

The  meeting  will  be  devoted  to  user  presentations  and   panel
discussions.   Representatives  of  Interactive  Software Engineering
will give a preview of future developments  of  their  implementation
and tools.

The conference is open to Eiffel users and to  anyone  maintaining  a
serious  interest  in  Eiffel.   Participants  are  invited to submit
contributions on Eiffel-related topics; contributions may be  in  the
form  of  technical presentations, or proposals for working groups or
panels.  Authors of accepted contributions will  attend  the  meeting
free of charge.

Technical presentations may be submitted as either complete papers or
one-page abstracts.  Examples include:

     + Reports on experiences with Eiffel.

     + Description of current or future projects.

     + Interfaces with other tools and  systems  (graphics  packages,
       database management systems, expert systems etc.).

     + Presentations of reusable components written in Eiffel.

     + Role of Eiffel for teaching software engineering and  computer
       science.

Abstracts,  including  those  for  incomplete  or  ongoing  work  are
acceptable.  Presentations should be made in English.

Possible topics for working groups or panels are:

     + Procedures for sharing reusable classes between users.

     + Language standardization.

     + Using Eiffel for teaching.

     + User views  on  the  evolution  of  the  language,  tools  and
