(apologies for any duplication of mail)

Are you involved in the mamagement of O-O system development?

Are you working with the 'latest O-O tools/technigues'?

Are you pushing back the O-O development frontiers?

Are you frustrated with the lack of management within O-O systems development?

Participate in our workshop at TOOLS USA, 2000

Workshop
--------
Project Management of  Object-Oriented Developed Systems 2
www.cios.sbu.ac.uk/pmtools2

to be held at TOOLS USA 2000, July 31 - Aug 3, 2000
http://www.tools.com/tools/usa/index.html


Workshop Theme
---------------
The ongoing evolution in object-oriented software development techniques
has provided the designers with the potential for delivering quality
software. However this potential can only be released with an integrated,
holistic approach to O-O design and development. Software that will 'serve
society' must address the strategic issues of O-O system development within
a business environment and ensure that all the successful O-O techniques
are drawn together and managed as one strategy to meet business requirements.

The TOOLS USA 99 Project Management (PM) workshop addressed the general
issues of producing a PM strategy for the planning and management of an O-O
developed system. The TOOLS USA 2000 workshop intends to build upon those
issues and specifically address two major areas of O-O development -
management of the process components and matching these to business
requirements.

Advances in the individual O-O process components, such as architecture,
frameworks and patterns have provided the O-O developer with a set of
techniques for producing quality systems. However without facilities to map
these individual techniques to analysis and design, and hence management,
throughout the development life cycle leaves a product without a quality
guarantee. Furthermore a solid, holistic, quantified approach to analysis
and design is imperative to mapping a system to the business requirements

The workshop should draw together participants from academia and industry,
who have experience of managing the O-O process components throughout the
development life cycle and/or an interest in the capture and modelling of
business requirements associated with the stages of development, from
initiation to delivery of SW, of O-O systems.

Areas of interest within the management of O-O systems development include:
	- capture and modelling business requirements
	- mapping process components to analysis and design
	- holistic approach toward one management strategy.
