- BOURNEMOUTH METRICS WORKSHOP 1996
-
- April 18-19, 1996
-
- Software metrics are widely seen as a technology that can improve
- understanding, visibility and control of software projects. This
- workshop focuses upon two questions: how do we measure object oriented
- systems and how do we successfully manage the introduction of metrics
- into software development organisations? The Workshop is intended to
- be the premier UK metrics event for 1996 and is aimed at practitioners
- and researchers alike.
-
- In addition to the formal sessions, there will be an open forum and
- opportunities for questions and discussion.
