Call For Papers - Reusability in Software

                       Reusability Issues in Software

One of the often echoed solutions to the Software Crisis calls for
increased programmer productivity through the reuse of software artifacts
(designs, code, tests, etc.).  This concept, while not new, has had limited
success until recent advances in programming technology and languages.  

In order to better track the advances made in the state of the practice of 
reusability in software,  I have organized sessions at two conferences
during the first quarter of 1987: HICSS20, The 20th Annual Hawaii 
International Conference on System Sciences January 6-9, and IEEE Computer 
Society COMPCON Spring 87, March 2-5 in San Francisco.  Also, I have 
submitted a proposal to the editors of IEEE Software for a special issue 
on Reusability. Finally, if interest warrants, perhaps  a second workshop 
on Issues in Reusability might be appropriate.

Papers are being solicited to focus on the following topics as they apply
to reusability in programming:

     * Components
     * Component Libraries
     * Composition Methodology
     * VHLL and POL
     * Application Generators
     * Transformation Systems
     * Software Manufacturing
