Languages & Tools
Fall 1990 DECUS Symposium Working Group Roadmaps
October 29, 1990
The Languages & Tools SIG has adopted the use of Working Groups to provide
the technical muscle to our SIG's ever growing collection of supported
product areas. Each of the Working Groups focuses on one particular
product, topic or area. A meeting, open to all attendees, is scheduled at
symposia to provide a venue for interested parties to exchange information,
problems, and solutions. Generally a DEC representative is present to
observe, participate, and report on the meeting to Digital.
Each Working Group is responsible for delivering to the DECUS membership
some tangible example of their existence. Sessions to Symposia are one type
of ``deliverables'' provided by the Working Groups. Other examples of
deliverables are newsletter articles and submissions to the SIG tape, to
name but a few.
The following is a list of the various Working Groups that make up L&T with
a brief description of each group's purpose. The Working Group's chair is
identified following the introduction. Please feel free to contact these
chairpersons and ask them about their group's activity, and participate in
their open working group meetings here at Symposium.
Each of the WG Chairs has identified a ``Roadmap'' through the Symposium.
This is a list of sessions the Chairs thought would be of interest to
members of their Working Group or to other Symposium attendees with similar
concerns. This Roadmap follows each Working Group description. New Working
Group Meetings may be scheduled as BOFs so watch Update.Daily for times and
locations.
If you have any questions about the L&T Working Groups, and would like to
either join an existing one, or possibly to form a new one, contact any of
the L&T Steering Committee Members, Working Group Chairs, or any of the
volunteers that help us staff the L&T Campground or Suite. Please consult
the L&T Steering Committee Roster for complete address, telephone, and
network information.
If all else fails, after the symposium, either contact a specific Working
Group Chair via the L&T Steering Committee list, or feel free to contact the
L&T Working Group Coordinator:

CASE and Tools Integration Working Group
The term ``CASE'' (Computer Aided Software Engineering) has been applied
both to specific products in the data processing industry as well as to a
general methodology for the planning and implementing a software system.
This working group is interested in all the aspects associated with CASE.
This includes not only the fuller explanation of what CASE is and how it
will affect they way we do (or will do) business, but also with the
interaction (or lack there-of) of the various tools products used in
producing software. From the tool's perspective, this group is concerned
with the overall interconnectivity of tools from product definition
(editors, project management/tracking systems, documentation systems), to
product design (compilers, building and configuration tools), to product
assurance (test tools, debuggers). The group is also interested with the
compatability of using various languages together.
Of particular note this symposium: Dr. Peter Chen will be presenting a
CASE keynote speech addressing Entity Relationship Modeling and the
directions of CASE.

Object-Oriented Methodologies, Project Management, Software Metrics, and
VAXSet.

COBOL Working Group
Over the last three decades, COBOL and the tools that can be interfaced to
COBOL have undergone many changes. It is the goal of the COBOL Working
Group to serve as a resource for the dispensing of up--to--date information
to COBOL programmers and their management. In addition to presenting
information in these areas, the COBOL WG is also interested in helping the
professional programmer become more productive. To this end, the Working
Group is anxious to hear about COBOL related concerns, problems, and
interests which could be presented as a session at a future DECUS Symposia
and/or relayed to DEC.

Object-Oriented methodologies and will provide interactions with DEC's own
efforts in this area. Those unfamiliar with these methods are also invited.

Project Management Working Group
With the cost of software development ever increasing with respect to the
total cost of a computing system, much interest has been given to the better
overall management of such system development. Capitalizing on this
interest, several ``management methodologies'' and tools that support these
methodologies have been produced. Members of this working group pay
particular attention to these developments, analyzing the applicability of
these techniques in their own situations, and making recommendations on
their needs as they perceive them in project management.

Public Domain Software Working Group
In the ``Good-Ole-Days'' of computer science, new and interesting
developments in the field were generally made available to the public at
large. Many of the original implementations of compilers, editors, even
complete systems were distributed in this manner. Such products still do
exist in this day and age, and the goal of this working group is to discover
such items, report on them, and solicit/encourage others to make their
useful inhouse tools available to all. It should also be noted, that the
chair of this working group is also (quite naturally) the L&T SIG Tape
Librarian.

SCAN Working Group
SCAN is one of the newer language entries from DEC and is (from our
perspective) a valuable component of any VMS toolsmith's ``bag-of-tricks''.
This working group is for the sharing of information among SCAN'ers,
educating the uninitiated into the wonders of SCAN, and providing feedback
into DEC for the ongoing development and evolution of this language.

Software Metrics Working Group
To share ideas, recommend solutions to DEC, and raise questions regarding
the measurement of development productivity and maintenance effort for
software projects. Emphasis will be placed on the search for methods and
tools for obtaining meaningful metrics.

TPU-Based Applications Working Group
VAX TPU has clearly established itself not as just another editor compiler,
but as truly useful utility for many purposed in the processing of ASCII
data. This Working Group was formed to promote both the expected and
unexpected uses of this facility (and its editors), and to provide a forum
for users to interact with the DEC developers.

VAXELN Ada Working Group
This group focuses on VAXELN Ada which allows real-time applications to be
coded in Ada. Ada afficianados of all levels are welcome to come and
discuss their problems or achievements. New comers also are invited to
attend and see what Ada can do for them. This group is co-sponsored with
the DAARC sig.

VAXSet Working Group
The DEC VAXSet family of products includes the Code Management System (CMS),
the Module Management System (MMS), the DEC-Test Manager (DTM), the
Performance Coverage Analyzer (PCA), the Language-Sensitive Editor (LSE),
and the Source Code Analyzer (SCA). This collection has been proven an
effective and useful set of tools for software development, and represents
one of the most exciting and eventful areas of DEC's current support for the
software engineer. This Working Group will serve as the DECUS forum for
those users of one or more of these systems. It will promote an
understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the tools, their
applicability to various situations, and act as the liaison with the DEC
developers for current and future releases of the VAXSet products.
