OOPSLA/93 Workshop on Objects, Iteration &c: DEADLINE REVISED

[cis.ohio-state.edu!magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu!zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu!sd]

At the recommendation of the OOPSLA Workshop Committee, we are pulling back
the deadline for submission of position papers to the OOPSLA/93 workshop
on Objects, Iteration and Development Process Standards (formerly posted
to this newsgroup).  The new deadline for abstracts is 30 July, 1993.

Some people have complained of not seeing the posting;  it is reproduced
below (apologies to the bandwidth-watchers):

            OBJECTS, ITERATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROCESS STANDARDS
            ----------------------------------------------------


INTRODUCTION AND MOTIVATION
---------------------------

       At OOPSLA '92, this workshop examined the tension between iterative
       design methods and the stability and progress tracking valued by
       most development cultures.  This year's workshop will discuss these
       issues in the context of established and emerging industry standards
       for software development process.  Such standards include the SEI
       Capability Maturity Model (CMM), the ISO 9000 series, STD 2167A,
       and IPSE2.5.

GOALS OF THE WORKSHOP
---------------------

       Participants will discuss how existing methods support the object
       paradigm through iteration and other key characteristics.  Evolution
       paths will be discussed for the object paradigm and current-generation
       development process frameworks to improve their ability to meet each
       others' needs.

FOCUS AND ISSUES
----------------

       We will focus on two or three established process standards that reflect
       material submitted in position papers. Participants will draw on each
       others' experience to develop consensus on the suitability of those
       standards to object-oriented development.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ATTENDANCE
---------------------------

       Prospective participants must submit short (1-3 page) position papers
       to the workshop organizers by July 30, 1993.  Participants will be
       chosen on the basis of the suitability of these papers.  Participants
       will be selected and notified by Aug. 20, 1993.  Members of the
       software development process community are particularly encouraged to
       participate.
