FWD: CFP: Methods Integration Workshop



I hope that by now you are all reading comp.specification.misc as well as
comp.specification.larch.  I will not, in general, forward
comp.specification.misc postings, since that would be contrary to the
spirit of the comp.specification.{misc,z,larch} split.  However, this
message was apparently posted only to the obsolete newsgroup
comp.specification, so I thought it worth forwarding.

Subject: Call For Papers - Methods Integration Workshop
Newsgroups: comp.specification


There follows a call for papers for a Methods Integration Workshop to be 
held in Leeds, UK in March 1996. There will soon be a WWW page relating 
to the workshop and an announcement regarding its location will be put out on 
this list.

 			Call for Papers

		  Methods Integration Workshop

		    Leeds, March 25-26 1996

		     Supported by BCS FACS
 

Methods Integration Workshop
============================

The Methods Integration Workshop will be held at Leeds Metropolitan University 
on 25 and 26 March 1996.  The aims of the Workshop are to promote the interests
of researchers and users of software development methods which combine the use 
of formal methods with other heuristic or semiformal methods (including
structured and object-oriented methods), to evaluate integrated methods in the 
light of current research and practice, and discuss future research directions 
and priorities.  The Workshop will include both technical presentations and
working groups with active participation.

Contributions
=============

Three types of contributions are invited:

   1.	Research papers (up to 20 pages in length) describing new theoretical
   	work.

   2.	Industrial experience reports.  These may be much shorter, and need not
   	give so much technical detail.

   3.	Posters (four A4 sheets) outlining work in progress.

Proposals for tool demonstrations are also welcome.

Contributions are invited in the following areas (but this list is not 
exclusive):

   -- 	Different approaches to integration.  

   --	Process models.

   --	Object orientation.  Integrating formal methods with object-oriented 
  	analysis and design methods.  

   --	Using integrated methods for verification and validation.

   --	Tool support for integrated use of formal and structured methods.

   --	Industrial experience/case studies.

   --	Using integrated methods in education and training.


Timetable
=========

Intention to submit: 		31 July 1995
