CONFERENCES and CALL FOR PAPERS =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= COMPSAC 94 PROGRAM OVERVIEW Compsac 94 consists of 84 papers, 6 tutorials, 2 mini-tutorials, 6 panel sessions and 3 plenary Keynote sessions. The papers were very carefully selected from over 200 contributions by a very hardworking Program Committee. The papers and the panels highlight the cutting edge of the current software technology focusing on; developmental methodologies, processer management, metrics, multi-media computer communications, databases CASE and object- oriented technologies. The papers are replete with applications. While focusing on industrial experiences and research trends, the Conference personifies the diversity that has become an integral part of the software industry. The Program Chair sincerely thanks his Vice Chairs for their tremendous effort in evaluating and selecting the best papers. Their collective wisdom is manifested in the structure and content of the Conference Program. The Program Committee is grateful for the timely advise and leadership of the General Kuo, our Conference Chair. Without the stimulating help and guidance of our Steering Committee Chair and Father of Compsac Conferences, Professor S.S. Yau, nothing would have been possible. We are all indebted to him for his dedication, devotion, support and help. Amongst the few who went far beyond their responsibilities in helping to shape the program are Mr. Shigeo Ishihara of Hitachi Software Engineering and Ms. Paige Loczi of the University of California, Berkeley, to whom this Program Chair owes a deep debt of gratitude. On behalf off the Program Committee, this Chair thanks all the authors, panelists, sessions chairs and viewers. I congratulate the Program Committee for doing an outstanding job. C.V.

Versel Versel & Associates, USA Audience: Intended for software executives involved in or are considering subcontracting, perhaps with an international software development organization. Description: Through subcontracting, software development organizations can access expert resources at very competitive costs, and speed up their development schedules. Some firms also subcontract to acquire interesting technologies, or to minimize risks of working with new software environments, methods or development tools. Subcontracting also presents considerable risks and it demands enhanced techniques for managing software development projects. This seminar will examine the key issues in outsourcing, both domestic and international, using case studies and practical experiences. The seminar surveys the outsourcing decision, considering its business, technical and financial benefits and risks. It examines case studies on software development productivity and quality issues. Finally, it focuses on the project management and contracting issues involved in outsourcing, examining control techniques which can be immediately implemented. Outline: o Overview : motivations, costs, issues and risk o Subcontracting trends: teaming, sharing, joint licensing, "black boxes" o Marketing and performance issues: market/copyright protection, quality, standards o Project management and contracting requirements: barriers, payment, incentives o Case studies Lecturer: Mark J. Versel, President of Versel & Associates, Potomac, MD, provides project management services including supporting software applications. He consults in international business, systems development and training. He is a member of the National Contract Management Association. He provides project management certification training for the U.S. Department of Energy and for the Project Management Institute.

Description: This seminar covers the language, processes, strategies, definitions and notations of the Development Before the Fact paradigm. A preventive approach, it supports users in doing things right the first time. Discussed are properties of systems defined with the language, including integration, elimination of errors, flexibility, traceability, parallelism, reusability and automation. Modeling scenarios of various types of systems are shown. Demonstrations include the development of a system starting with its definition to the automatic generation of complete, integrated and fully production ready code. Outline: o A preventive paradigm o Type hierarchical networks o Functional hierarchical networks o Unifying functional and object oriented systems o Formalizing and automating the life cycle model o Bringing systems engineering into software development o Evolution: re-thinking, re-engineering and reverse engineering o Case studies and demonstrations o Results (including productivity results) Lecturer: Margaret Hamilton is CEO of Hamilton Technologies, Inc. (HTI), which provides systems engineering and software development products based on her Development Before the Fact technology. Prior to this, she was CEO of Higher Order Software, where she was responsible for the development of the indistry's first comprehensive CASE tool. Earlier, as director of Software Engineering at MIT's Draper Lab., she was the director of the Apollo on-board flight software and created Higher Order Software (HOS), a systems design theory. S-5 Software Reengineering Robert S. Arnold Software Evolution Technology, USA Audience: Intended for people responsible for maintaining or reengineering software: project planners, managers, and practitioners. An acquaintance with the problems of software maintenance or evolution is helpful. Description: Software reengineering is any activity that improves one's understanding of software, or improves the software itself, usually for increased maintainability, reusability, or evolvability. Software reengineering has become an essential approach for supporting change. Software reengineering can improve existing software and information assets to accomplish business reengineering objectives, decrease maintenance costs, help prepare existing software for migration to another platform, help redocument systems, aid in understanding systems, and provide new views of software. This seminar discusses software reengineering processes, CASE tools for reengineering, and how to apply reengineering to solve real-life software reengineering problems. Outline: o Software reengineering concepts o Reengineering and reverse engineering technology and tools o Deciding when to reengineer o Estimating return on investment for reengineering o Processes of reengineering - Establishing a new documentation baseline for hard-to-understand code - Extracting business rules from source code - Reengineering data - Migrating to a client/server system o Software reengineering case studies Lecturer: Robert Arnold, President of Software Evolution Technology, Inc. (SEVTEC), is an internationally recognized authority on software reengineering, maintenance, and impact analysis. He is the author of Software Reengineering and the Tutorial on Software Restructuring published by IEEE Computer Society. He has trained corporate internal consultants to help companies develop self-supporting reengineering and reverse engineering expertise. He has performed business reengineering for SEVTEC, selected CASE tools, and performed asset recovery to improve information reuse, company productivity, and reduce information management costs. He received the Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of Maryland in 1983. S-6 Heterogeneous, Distributed Database Systems Susan D. Urban Arizona State University, USA Audience: Intended for those interested in establishing interconnections between multiple database systems.

Description: This seminar provides an overview of heterogeneous, distributed database systems. After presenting the motivation for heterogeneous systems, different architectures for heterogeneous systems are addressed. Issues related to semantic and system heterogeneity, such as schema integration, query expression, query translation, and concurrency control, will be discussed. The role of object-oriented concepts in support of semantic heterogeneity and query expression is presented. The seminar includes an overview of existing research prototypes and commercial products that support heterogeneous, distributed environments. Recent developments in interoperability standards as well as future database research issues are also discussed. Outline: o Motivation for heterogeneous database systems o Architectures for loosely-coupled and tightly-coupled systems o Semantic heterogeneity and its affect on database access o Query formulation in different architectural environments o Concurrency control issues for heterogeneous database systems o Overview of commercial systems o Interoperability standards and future research directions Lecturer: Susan D.
