Development environments have to support engineering processes involving large numbers of people often at geographically distributed locations. Crucial factors are to minimize product development times and to improve process and product quality. The evolving framework technology for concurrent/simultaneous engineering promises to meet these challenges by providing IT infrastrauctures enabling to build distributed engineering environments involving large numbers of tools and to control complex engineering processes effectively. The objective of the workshop is to present and discuss this technology and its applications. In particular, the workshop will provide the opportunity: o to get an insight into recent progresses of framework technology as exemplified by several ESPRIT projects amongst them the two major ESPRIT projects CONSENS and JESSI-COMMON-FRAME; o to learn about a broad range of framework applications; o to discuss specific technical problems and tasks where framewoks are expected to offer enhanced behaviour, functionality and performance; o to debate the future developments of an European Engineering Network. THE WORKSHOP WILL BE ADDRESSES TO: Present and potential industrial users of framework technology, suppliers of this technology and researchers.

Submissions and correspondence should be sent to the new Editor-in-Chief: Professor Jennifer Widom (widom@cs.stanford.edu) Department of Computer Science Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305-2140 Below is a portion from my Notes in the forthcoming March issue. -- Arie Segev Editor's (Farewell) Notes This is my last issue as an Editor-in-Chief after serving in this capacity for more than six years. When I took the job at the end of 1988 I set five targets for the RECORD: 1) publishing it on a regular basis such that it reaches the readers around the middle of the month of publication; 2) Improving the quality of accepted articles; 3) putting together special issues on emerging research areas; 4) Encouraging contributions other than articles, such as annotated bibliographies and workshop reports; and 5) Establishing regular sections such as the Database Research Centers Reports. I am satisfied that I have achieved all those five goals. This, however, would not have been possible without the dedicated service of the Associate Editors. I would like to take this opportunity and thank the current editors (Rafael Alonso, Jose Blakeley, Leonard Gallagher, Amit Sheth, and Xiaolei Qian) and the past ones (Hank Korth, Marguerite Murphy, Timos Sellis, Fred Sprinsteel, and Marianne Winslett). Won Kim. SIGMOD Chair, has played an important role in expanding the regular sections of the RECORD, by introducing the trade-press, database research surveys, and database standards activities sections; I thank him for his leadership. Thanks are also due to several students (and ex-students) who helped in the time consuming task of producing the issues; they include Rakesh Chandra, Abhirup Chatterjee, Ajit Patankar, and Leon Zhao. Finally, I welcome the new Editor-in-Chief, Jennifer Widom (Department of Computer Science, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305-2140; widom@cs.stanford.edu). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The dbworld alias reaches many people, and should only be used for messages of general interest to the database community.

DOOD focuses on research in the theory of deductive and object-oriented databases, the integration of object-oriented paradigm and rule-based deduction to provide a single powerful framework for intelligent database systems, and advanced applications of such systems. This continues the direction established by the three very successful DOOD conferences held in 1989 in Kyoto, Japan, in 1991 in Munich, Germany, and in 1993 in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. Papers describing implemented DOOD systems, from academic prototypes to advanced industrial projects, are strongly solicited. SUGGESTED TOPICS The following topics are of interest when treated in the context of deductive and object-oriented databases. Integrating the Logic and OO Paradigms Integrating with Programming Languages Integrating with Existing DB Technology Applications Data Models Object Management Object Migration Rule Management Active Rule Management Transaction Management Views and Updates Security and Integrity Enforcement Query Languages and Query Optimization Performance Spatial and Temporal Data Heterogeneous Systems Parallel Systems Database Design Tools User Interfaces SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Authors are cordially invited to submit five copies of an original paper on topics including, but not limited to, those listed above, to the region's Program Committee Co-Chair by >> April 15, 1995 <<.

The aim of this workshop, which is the second after a very suc- cessful first workshop in Edinburgh (Scotland) in September 1993, is to bring together researchers working on both theoretical and practical aspects of rules in database systems, to examine the current state of the art, to explore relationships between different categories of rule systems, and to identify complementary areas for further development, as well as interesting applications. The workshop is organized by the members of ACT-NET.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII International Working Conference on Restructuring Strategies for Information Industry - Advances in Technology, Emerging Markets and Investment Opportunities April 26-28, 1995 Asian Institute of Technology Bangkok, Thailand in co-operation with IEEE Computer Society Co-Sponsored by: Co-operation with: AMP (USA) CERES-GKN GRID - UNEP NSTDA SIEMENS SYSTEMS(Thailand) UNESCO Official Publisher: Thai Computerworld. Liberalization and Globalization of the world economy concurrently with rapid advances in Electronics and Information Technology pose new challenges and great opportunities. Some of the assumptions underlying developments of industry, their locations, sourcing of raw materials, marketing of the products etc. may need to be reviewed in view of the emerging markets and new investment opportunities. The recent world trade agreements focus on the trade of goods, although the service sector will soon be affected. Moreover service industry is inherently transnational in its nature, and characterized by a significant components of electronics and information technologies. The increased productivity propelled by the advances in Information Technology and in associated areas have direct implications on the international division of labor and capital. Communications facilities can attract industry to locations with relatively lower labor costs especially when the exportable products can be transmitted by a low cost communication channels. The excellent example is the software industry. The Export Processing Zones, set up by many developing countries during the last few decades may have a new role under the changing economic and technological scenario of the world. Also in the same context one can anticipate the changing role of Science and Technology Parks. These developments add new dimensions to education and human resources development, as well as to the transfer of technology. The sweeping advances in communications and networking, in the form of concepts such as "Information highways" along with "Information Free Ways", the "Information Toll Ways" and issues such as "Information Oversupply", "Knowledge Discovery", "Information Conflicts", offer enormous opportunities and challenges to the way we may look at education, technology transfer, and the environment. The Environment Information threatens to grow to enormous size and complexity. It is essential to come to terms with these for our sustainable future. The working conference aims to bring together the academics, technocrats, investors, and decision makers on a common platform and provide brain storming opportunities to create and to exchange ideas and information. The three day conference will have special sessions where investors and hosts (such as special Export Processing Zones, Science Parks, Technology Parks, Representatives of Governments seeking foreign investment as well as Investors in Electronics and Information Sectors) meet. There will be special sessions focussing attention on newly emerging economies of Asia and the Eastern Europe. The conference is especially intended to be interdisciplinary. The conference seeks position papers on various aspects of restructuring strategies. An objective of the conference is to foster an integrated view of the advances in technology, emerging markets and investment opportunities by encouraging scholarly papers and informed discussions. Besides these papers are invited in the following (but not limited to) areas: Information Highways, Multimedia Information Systems, Re-Engineering Software, Digital Libraries and Specific Experiences with Emergent Information Technologies. The proceedings will be published and will be made available extensively. During this occasion a number of state of the art workshops will be conducted by a number of internationally established professionals. We have so far received proposals on Multimedia Communication, Information Highways, Business Re-engineering and Environmental Implications. The conference will be held at the AIT Center Hotel and state of the art conference facilities will be available. Bangkok, known as the City of Angels, is the Capital City of Thailand. Thailand is known for the hospitality of the people and in fact rightly called the land of smiles. Thailand is located at the meeting point of two great Cultural Systems of Asia - the Chinese and the Indian. Besides, being an important tourist destination, it is in the center of the fastest growing economies of the world. Sight seeing, entertainment, and accompanying persons programs will also be arranged.

This time the workshop will take place in Utrecht (the Netherlands) and it will be run in parallel with PLILP '95, the Seventh International Symposium on Programming Languages, Implementations, Logics and Programs. LOPSTR and PLILP will share invited lectures and sessions of common interest. The two meetings will be organized by the Computer Science Department of Utrecht University. The aim of the workshop is to present recent work (including work in progress) and discuss new ideas and trends in the following fields: program synthesis, program transformation, program specialization, partial deduction all in the context of logic programming. Papers pointing out the relationships of the above topics with other topics in the field of automated program development, such as: automated deduction, constructive type theory, implementation techniques, inductive logic programming, meta-languages, program analysis, program specification, query optimization in deductive databases, software engineering, synthesis and transformation in the context of other programming languages, are welcomed. Papers describing automated systems for program development and overviews of recent work on the topics of interest are also solicited. System demonstrations will be possible during the workshop. Authors should submit 5 copies of an extended abstract to the following address by May 25, 1995: Maurizio Proietti, IASI-CNR, Viale Manzoni, 30, I-00185 Roma, Italy Phone: +39 6 7716426, Fax: +39 6 7716461, E-mail: proietti@iasi.rm.cnr.it The submissions should include a return postal address and an e-mail address, if available. Submission of abstracts by e-mail is also accepted (LaTeX or Postscript). Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection of their abstracts for presentation at the workshop by July 20, 1995. The accepted abstracts will be collected into preliminary proceedings which will be available at the workshop. Extended abstracts can be completed into full papers and submitted after the workshop by October 15, 1995. Submitted papers will be reviewed for publication in the final proceedings which are planned to be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection of their papers for the proceedings by December 1, 1995. Accepted papers must be received in camera-ready form by January 15, 1996. The extended abstract should be 5--8 page long (excluding references and appendices). The following aspects will be relevant for the evaluation of the submission: originality, clarity, significance, and correctness. In particular, the abstract should clearly point out the relationships with published work or submissions by the same authors and it should be understandable by a broad audience.

This Department is top-rated for both teaching and research. Applicants should possess the enthusiasm and ability to fit into a dynamic academic environment, and should show considerable promise in both teaching and research. Applicants for the permanent lectureship should also have substantial experience in both teaching and research. In 1995-96 the Department will launch a new MSc course in Advanced Information Systems, covering databases, information retrieval, and multimedia. For two of the appointments, preference will be given to applicants who can demonstrate expertise in at least one of these areas. Strong applications in other areas that match departmental interests are also welcomed. The permanent lecturer will be appointed on the Lecturer A or B scale (#14,756-25,735 p.a.), at a point determined by age, experience, and ability. The temporary lecturers will be appointed on the Lecturer A scale (#14,756-19,326 p.a.). One temporary appointment will be tenable for three years in the first instance, the other for one year in the first instance. If the applicants are strong enough, consideration will be given to increasing the number and length of these appointments. Informal enquiries may be made to the Head of Department, Dr David Watt, e-mail daw@dcs.gla.ac.uk. Information about the Department may be found from its WWW page http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/.

It is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission from the copyright holders to quote material which has appeared in another publication. 2. Points of style (a) The language of the journal is English and the spelling should conform to that of the Oxford English Dictionary, or Webster's New World Dictionary for papers from the USA. (b) The body of the manuscript should be preceded by a Summary (maximum length 200 words) which should be a summary of the entire paper, not of the conclusions alone. (c) The Summary should be followed by a list of not more than six key words; these will be used to compile an annual key word index. (d) The paper should be reasonably divided into sections, and if necessary, subsections. Numbering of these is optional. (e) Tables should be numbered consecutively and titled. The title should be placed before the body of the table. All table columns should be placed before the body of the table. All table columns should have an explanatory heading. Tables should not repeat data available elsewhere in the paper, e.g. in a line diagram. (f) References to published literature should be quoted in the text by enclosing the author's last name and the year of publication in parentheses at the point of reference, e.g. (Dyer 1992). Where reference is made to more than one paper by the same author(s) with the same date, use the form 1992a, etc. Where three or more authors are involved, use 'Dyer et al' in the text, but all of the authors' names should appear in the list of references. A list of references in alphabetical order should be typed out in full. References should conform to the Harvard style, e.g. Dyer, M. 1992. The Cleanroom Approach to Quality Software Development. Wiley, New York. Ince, D.C. 1987. The automatic generation of test data. The Computer Journal, 30, 63-69. 3. General Notes (a) Submitted material will not be returned to authors following publication unless the material is accompanied by a request to do so when it is first submitted. (b) The publisher will do everything possible to ensure prompt publication. It will therefore be appreciated if submitted text and illustrations conform from the outset to the style of the journal. Corrected proofs must be returned to the publisher within three days to minimise the risk of the author's contribution having to be held over to a later issue. (c) The editors and publishers do not accept responsibility for the correctness of published program code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The dbworld alias reaches many people, and should only be used for messages of general interest to the database community.

The informal folklore of software engineering provides a number od diverse styles for organizing software systems. These styles, or architectures, show how to compose systems from components; different styles expect different kinds of component packaging and different kinds of interactions between the components. Unfortunately, these styles and packaging distinctions are often implicit; as a consequence, components with appropriate functionality may fail to work together. This talk surveys common architectural styles, including important packaging and interaction distinctions, and proposes an approach to the problem of reconciling architectural mismatches. 01:00-05:00 TUTORIALS TUTORIAL (I): "Software System Generators, Architectures, and Reuse" Presenter: Don Batory, University of Texas at Austin ================================================================== Domain-specific software generators automatically assemble software systems from libraries of components according to architectures (or domain models) of well-understood domains. This tutorial is an introduction to the GenVoca style of domain-specific software system generators. We will explain how GenVoca offers a prescription for defining reusable software components and scalable architectures for domains of hierarchical systems. We will illustrate the principles of software design and organization that underlie these generators with case studies from databases, communication protocols, avionics, file systems, and data structures. This tutorial should appeal to researchers and practitioners who are interested in designing reusable software components and the relationship of reuse libraries to software architectures and programming-in-the-large software assembly technologies. ================================================================== TUTORIAL (II): "Software Reuse Metrics, Reusability Metrics, and Economic Models" Presenter: Jeffrey S. Poulin, Loral Federal Systems ================================================================== This tutorial will explain how to apply reuse metrics, reuse economics, and reuse Return-On-Investment (ROI) models in diverse organizations and programming languages. The tutorial will help answer the questions: 1. How do we measure the level of reuse on a project? How to handle generated code, COTS, internal vs. external reuse, etc. 2. How do we quantify the financial benefits of reuse? How to justify reuse investments based on cost-benefits, ROI, etc. 3. How do we identify the most reusable components? How to locate reusable components in existing code and how to build for reuse. Target audience: The tutorial addresses the real-life issues faced by software development managers and reuse practitioners when implementing reuse metrics. ================================================================== TUTORIAL (III): "Object-Oriented Re-Architecturing of Legacy Systems" Presenters: Roland Mittermeir, Klagenfurt University (Austria) Harald Gall, Vienna University of Technology (Austria) Rene Klosch, Vienna University of Technology (Austria) ================================================================== Modernizing old software helps to gain control of future maintenance cost, to improve system performance, and/or to adapt software to a distributed or otherwise more efficient environment. Achieving these aims by a complete redevelopment often yields unexpected negative results. Hence, reverse engineering might be a suitable answer. Object-orientation is one of the possible means for achieving ``design for change''. For extending the life-span of legacy systems, changing its architecture to an object-oriented one improves its structural quality, reduces redundancies in the source code, and hence decreases maintenance cost. This tutorial presents a roadmap for reshaping the architecture of legacy systems. It gives hints and handles to find objects in the classically structured source code, and shows how to dissolve procedural systems into object-oriented architectures. A specific methodology, COREM, is used as basis for the presentation. Target audience: 1) DP representatives responsible for saving past investment in conventional software systems; 2) Senior programmers seeking a brief introduction to the topic, to re- and reverse engineering, or to basic concepts of object-oriented analysis or object-oriented design; 3) Young faculty and students interested in this challenging topic. ================================================================== 06:00-08:00 SSR'95 RECEPTION Saturday, April 29 ------------------ 07:30-08:00 Breakfast 08:00-09:15 OPENING REMARKS AND KEYNOTE SPEAKER "Impact of New Technologies on the Effectiveness of Reuse" David A. Fisher, NIST ABSTRACT: This presentation will discuss some of the technologies being developed under the Component-Based Software (C-BS) focused program of NIST's Advanced Technology Program (ATP). ATP only supports projects that have high technical risk with accompanying high potential benefit to the U.S. economy. Eleven projects were funded under CB-S beginning early this year. Several of the approaches being pursued have potential for dramatically increasing the amount of software reuse and at least one may radically change the way software is developed and sold. In the long-term, the program envisions fundamental changes in the structure of the software industry. Additional project proposals are currently sought under the C-BS program through May 15, 1995. Projects may involve either evolutionary or revolutionary technologies and must demonstrate an effective strategy and commitment for commercial success. BIOGRAPHY David A. Fisher is currently involved in the development of focused programs within the general domain of software and information technology at the National Institute of Technology (NIST)'s Advanced Technology Program (ATP). He is also Program Manager for the ATP's Component-Based Software program and is developing a possible future program in Learning Technologies. Dr. Fisher has been involved as a researcher, entrepreneur, consultant, manager, and lecturer in industrial, academic, and government contexts during the past 30 years. 09:15-09:30 Coffee Break 09:30-10:30 SESSION 1A: Domain Analysis and Engineering Session Chair: Mikio Aoyama, Fujitsu Limited "Creating Reference Architectures: An Example from Avionics" Don Batory, University of Texas Lou Coglianese, Mark Goodwin, and Steve Shafer, Loral Federal Systems "Adaptable, Reusable Code" Margaret J.

Unfortunately, many people naively equate reuse with objects, adopting it to ``automatically'' ensure reuse, but often do not get much reuse. There are also many examples of successful reuse using non-OO languages. Thus objects are neither necessary nor sufficient for effective reuse. Without an explicit reuse agenda, OO reuse will not succeed. In almost all cases of successful reuse, non-technical issues such as management support and a stable domain seem to dominate over specific language or design methodology. True systematic OO reuse in today's OT requires several improvements, including: reuse-oriented processes; extended OO methods to directly support domain, component, and framework engineering; better understanding of the production of layered, modular architectures; and methods for augmenting OO application frameworks with problem-oriented, scripting languages. The panelists will explore software reuse from several perspectives, covering process, organizations, methods, languages, architecture, tools, patterns, and frameworks, discussing the benefits and problems raised using OT for effective reuse. They bring a wealth of insight, gained from many years of research, teaching and practical experience in developing OO applications, tools, methods and reuse. They have built several large applications and frameworks in SmallTalk, C++, Visual Basic and other non-OO languages. They have contributed to the use of systematic reuse in several companies, and are engaged in developing new reuse enabling methods and processes. BIOGRAPHIES Martin L. Griss is a senior Laboratory Scientist at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Palo Alto, where he researches object-oriented reuse and measurement system kits. As HP's ``reuse rabbi,'' he led work on software reuse process, tools, software factories and the systematic introduction of software reuse into HP's divisions. He was previously director of the Software Technology Laboratory and has over 20 years in software engineering research. He has authored numerous papers and reports on reuse, writes a reuse column for the Object Magazine and is active on several reuse program committees. Ivar Jacobson is inventor of the Objectory OO method, and founder of Objectory SA, Sweden. He is currently VP of Technology at Objectory. He is the principal author of two influential books 'Object-Oriented Software Engineering -- a Use Case Driven Approach' and `Business Reengineering with Objects', as well as several widely referenced papers on object technology. He is well known for his pioneering work and more than 20 years experience using object methods for the design of large real-time systems. His early object-based design technique has evolved into the international standard CCITT/SDL. He serves on the OOPSLA, ECOOP and TOOLS program committees and JOOP editorial board. Christina L. Jette is Vice President of Engineering at Ascent Logic Corporation where she leads a development team in the delivery of the largest commercially available SmallTalk application. She has over 13 years of experience managing the development of object-oriented systems in a variety of languages. She previously worked at ITT's Advanced Technology Center on telecommunication support software environments, and at Schlumberger's System Center where she led the development of a next generation well log interpretation system using a LISP based OO substrate and significant reuse. Robert R. Kessler has been on the faculty of the University of Utah since 1983, currently holding the position of Associate Professor of Computer Science. Prior to going on sabbatical at Hewlett-Packard Research Labs, Professor Kessler was director of the Center for Software Science, a research group working in nearly all aspects of system software for sequential and parallel/distributed computers. He has interests in parallel and distributed systems, portable Lisp systems, architectural description driven compilers, software engineering, and general systems software. He has experience with practical business software as well as academic software development and most recently is working on component-oriented software development using Visual Basic and OLE. Professor Kessler completed his first textbook in 1988, ``Lisp, Objects, and Symbolic Programming.'' He is currently Co-Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal on Lisp and Symbolic Computation. Doug Lea is a professor of Computer Science at the State University of New York at Oswego, and a director of the Software Engineering Laboratory at the New York Center for Advanced Technology in Computer Applications and Software Engineering (the NY CASE Center). He is co-author of the text ``Object-Oriented System Development'' (with Dennis DeChampeaux and Penelope Faure). He is the author of several articles and reports on object oriented software development and C++, including those on design and implementation techniques, distributed object systems, formal methods, software reusability, language features, and compilation strategies. He was the original author of the GNU C++ class library. 12:15-01:10 Lunch 01:15-02:00 Featured Speaker: "Systematic Reuse: A Scientific or an Engineering Method?" Ruben Prieto Diaz, Reuse, Inc. ABSTRACT: Systematic reuse is both, a scientific and an engineering process. The part of systematic reuse that deals with domain analysis and model development can be cast in the model for the scientific method: postulate theory, make observations, predict results, conduct experiment, and validate or reject theory. Use of domain models for system development and for creating and reusing reusable components fit the engineering method: given a problem need (from market analysis) specify solution, design, make model or prototype, test, refine, make product. In most engineering fields the engineering method is separated from the scientific method; theories and formalisms have been developed and proved by scientists in the natural sciences. In software engineering, and specially in systematic reuse, both methods are intertwined. The reuse practitioner must play the roles of scientist and engineer concurrently. Reuse practitioners need to see this distinction and make the proper separation of methods. This talk will deal with the risks, problems, and uncertainties of doing domain analysis similar to developing and testing scientific theories and the continuing revision of these theories when applying the engineering method. 02:15-03:45 PANEL II: "Languages and Models for Reusable Components" Moderator: Ben Whittle, University of York, UK, CIDER Panelists: Don Batory, University of Texas at Austin, USA, P++ Reidar Conradi, NTH, Sweden, REBOOT James W. Moore, Reuse Interoperability Group, RIG BIDM Will Tracz, Loral Federal Systems, USA, 3C & LILEANNA Bruce Weide, Ohio State University, USA, Resolve Panel Outline: This panel brings together the state of the art in current research on component models and component description languages for reuse. The panel includes representatives from the teams that have developed the 3C and REBOOT component models, the Basic Interoperability Data Model (BIDM), and the RESOLVE, P++, and CIDER component description languages. The panel will consist of a short presentation by the panelists, each considering one of the following questions: o What is a component description language/component description model? - a brief description of some of the existing languages and models. o What should be the relationship between component languages and component models? - e.g. the 3C is the basis for several of the existing languages. o Where do component description techniques fit into the development/reuse life cycle? - what should be the relationship between component languages/models and implementation languages? - how are these relationships supported by libraries etc.? o What are the characteristics of a good component representation? - e.g. should they include formal descriptions - predicates; is a language independent usage discipline essential? o How can we bring the current developments together? - what is the relationship between the models, the languages and the UDM? - what is the way forward? The panel will then be open to questions from the floor. The direction of the questions will be forced towards the use of current techniques, the convergence of the current developments, and suggestions for further work in this field. Although many of the panelists have recognized the similarities in the work that they are doing, they have never been brought together and forced to consider them. A single language and model for component description would enable a reuser to describe store and retrieve design level components and architectures, and translate these to and from an implementation language representations. Whether a common approach is possible or not, the debate is sure to be lively, with many years of work and principles of development embodied in the constructs and techniques that will be debated. 03:45-04:00 Coffee Break 04:00-05:30 SESSION 2A: Reuse Process and Application Session Chair: Danielle Ribot, CAP GEMINI Innovation "An Integrated Approach to Software Reuse Practice" Eliseo Mambella, Roberto Ferrari, Francesca De Carli, Angela Lo Surdo, Sodalia S.p.A "Reuse with PROTEGE-II: From Elevators to Ribosomes" John H.

Ruben Prieto Diaz, Reuse, Inc. Scott Guthery, Schlumberger Panel Outline: The focus of the software engineering community has remained fairly stable for over a decade. The world of software development has not. Computer networks and information technology, on the other hand, are changing the way software developers communicate and work. We use computer networks for private and public communication, the Internet is becoming a primary medium for information exchange. Trading and reusing software is an instance of trading and reusing information. Communication-based applications such as, electronic mail, bulletin boards, information servers, on-line databases, search technology, and shared-board applications are practical and powerful enablers of software reusability and of the exchange of reuse knowledge. This applies to private networks, subscriber networks, and public networks. The scale and openness of the Internet is also setting new social and economic laws for reusability. As a consequence, the assumptions about the established, intra-company reuse process are no longer valid and new opportunities are emerging. Some traditional reusability research topics must be reformulated or disposed of. There are also new problems, for example, how to develop applications that monitor traffic, or network sources, and find new sources of useful components; how to structure repository "yellow pages" in the Internet; and how to standardize on component documentation, characterization, and certification for the Internet market. Locating "useful" components for specific application domains is not a one-shot effort, it is part of a normal technology watch activity that will be increasingly performed by automated agents screening information through bulletin-boards, news bulletins, and negotiating access to documentation with information-brokerage applications. The search for customers will soon become a pro-active, permanent activity. Agents with "knowledge" of available components will monitor network traffic to identify potential consumers. In effect, we will have components looking for reusers. BIOGRAPHY Guillermo Arango is a Research Scientist and Manager for Electronic Document Management at Schlumberger Austin Research. His activities involve developing and applying methods, standards and tools for electronic information publishing,access, and reuse in research and engineering. Guillermo has been an active member of the software reusability community for over a decade working on program synthesis and transformational maintenance, domain analysis, and electronic engineering notebooks. 12:00-01:30 Lunch and Featured Speaker: "Confessions of a Used Program Salesman: Lessons Learned" Will Tracz, Loral Federal Systems ABSTRACT: Software reuse is an intuitively appealing, yet seductively elusive method for increasing programmer productivity and quality. The road to reuse is uphill, to say the least, and filled with numerous potholes, dead-ends, and blind alleys. In addition, the cost of reuse is significant (often 2-3 times greater than software designed for a single application). It is the author's belief that in order for reuse to be institutionalized, the following issues must be addressed: 1) getting top management support, 2) modifying the software development process, 3) overcoming non-technical inhibitors, 4) creating incentive programs (carrot and stick), 5) establishing reuse measurements, 6) developing reuse guidelines, and 7) focusing on a single domain or application area. Furthermore, based on personal experience, each of these areas must be addressed or the transition to a component-based software development process will not be realized. This talk will examine these 7 issues in light of lessons learned by the software industry over the last 10 years. 01:30-03:00 SESSION 4A: Domain Modeling and Engineering Session Chair: Roland Mittermeir, Klagenfurt University (Austria) "Developing Domain Knowledge Through the Reuse of Project Experiences" Scott R.

Intelligent selection and processing of of data leading to the creation of information, to the benefit of end-users, are the central topics. Important are solutions that deal with: o heterogeneity of representations, media, and semantics o system architecture, components, and services to achieve interoperation o tools, methods, and interface standards to build and validate modules o implementations that demonstrate successes and problems In any paper quantitative assessments and metrics will be valued. Papers will be due 15 June 1995, and will be refereed with care. Accepted or conditionally accepted papers are expected to be revised by the authors to the satisfaction of the referees. To encourage consistency, we recommend that papers use the terminology that is being defined as part of the ARPA Intelligent Integration of Information (I3) program. Having consistency should greatly increase the value to the readers of placing related papers into a single issue. That glossary can be found on http://www-db.stanford.edu/pub/gio/1994/vocabulary.html. Authors without WWW access can request a copy from the issue editor. Authors contemplating submission are requested to provide the names of the candidate author(s), the proposed title, a one paragraph abstract, and submission format to the issue editor by April 1, 1995. Please indicate, if you wish, that you are willing share that information with other candidate authors. The motivation for sharing this information early is to let you explore the potential for complementarity of your work, and, at the same time, reduce redundancy. If we can be successful in such an interoperation, then both more papers and more information can be presented within the same page budget. Electronic submission of abstracts and papers is strongly encouraged. Kluwer Publishers produces its issues using Latex, so that a Latex format for the paper submissions is desirable. If this is not feasible, the editor will provide assistance. Latex style, and optional template, font, documentation, and sample files for Kluwer small journals are available for anonymous ftp from ftp ftp.std.com cd to Kluwer/styles/journals get smj* (Note: smjstyles.tar.Z contains everything and more, 74Kbytes) The same files, and author guidelines, are available for WWW users at http://www-db.stanford.edu/pub/gio/jiis/I3.html and .../gdl.html. Important dates: Intent to Submit Paper: April 15, 1995 Papers due to Editor: June 15, 1995 Papers Selected: August 1, 1995 Revisions Due: September 1, 1995 Expected publication: May 1996. We are also looking for referees, please let us know if you are willing to help.
