The sixth Eiffel Users Conference will reflect the growth of the Eiffel
family, which now encompasses Scandinavia, Australia, Italy, France,
Benelux, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria, the United Kingdom, Mexico,
Canada and the United States.  Apart from industrial organizations,
Eiffel is also being utilized by a rapidly growing number of
universities around the world for the teaching of software
engineering.

As with the five past conferences, the October 1990 meeting will
provide a forum for users to share experiences past conferences and to
interact with implementors.

An added attraction of the sixth conference is the emerging
availability of third-party Eiffel tools and libraries of reusable
classes.

The conference will be held in Ottawa, Ontario, on October 23, 1990
during the week of OOPSLA / ECOOP '90.  The venue of the conference is
the meeting room at Chateau Laurier, located at 1 Rideau, Ottawa,
Ontario K1N 8S7, tel. (613)232-6411. The conference will proceed
half-day, from 1pm to 5:30pm, followed by a reception.

The meeting will be devoted to user presentations and 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
