- Hello,
-
- We have an development environment which combines object-oriented design
- with object-oriented implementation and fulfils actual and fundamental
- requirements to software engineering. Its implemented in Smalltalk/V
- (OS/2-version).
- We are looking for partners (software companies) who are interested in
- object-oriented techniques and who would like to get more practical
- experience within a realistic development project. The ESSI-project
- provides a good chance in doing so. Have a look to the informations about
- ESSI. If you would like to get more information about our system, please
- contact me.

- The European Software and Systems Initiative - ESSI
-
- The European Software and Systems Initiative, Essi, aims to secure a
- sharp increase in the productivity and capabilities of systems and
- software engineers by encouraging the take-up and use of modern system
- design and program production techniques. A two-year pilot phase has been
- proposed, with ECU 100 million of Community funding, as part of the
- information technology area of the Commission's 1990-94 Framework
- Programme for research and technology development.
-
- Essi will address these issues in three main ways:
- . Application experiments: Essi will provide funding for people working
- in the applications development field to try out and report on advanced
- methods and tools. The intention is to reach software project leaders,
- key opinion-formers who are in a position to introduce and foster the use
- of new techniques.
- Training: Essi will establish a mechanism for funding a large number of
- activities aimed at establishing the better understanding and acceptance
- by software practitioners of the best methods and tools available,
- underpinning this with provision for the upgrading of existing skills.
- Dissemination: Essi will set up Community-wide dissemination activities
- to link developers with users and ensure the rapid transfer of new and
- proven tools and methods into industry. Software clearing houses
- (repositories of tools, methods and environments accessible to developers
- and users) will play a major part in this process. This strand of Essi is
- directed towards individual users and software developers, and the
- creation and widespread adoption of standards is a particular objective.
