- 1992 CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING EDUCATION
- SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA
- OCTOBER 5-7, 1992
-
-
- INVITATION
-
- The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) invites educators, trainers,
- managers, and administrators interested in software engineering education
- and training to attend its sixth annual Conference on Software Engineering
- Education, CSEE 1992. The conference will be held in San Diego, California,
- at the Hyatt Islandia Hotel on October 5-7.
-
- The goal of CSEE '92 is to provide a forum for discussion of software
- engineering education and training among members of the academic, industry,
- and government communities and to promote interaction and cooperation among
- these communities.
-
- The program includes refereed papers from an international group of software
- engineering educators, along with reports from the SEI, panel discussions, and
- invited speakers. There will be opportunities for informal discussion, and a
- variety of educational materials will be on display. Proceedings will be
- published by Springer-Verlag and distributed to each attendee.
-
- The theme of CSEE '92 is "Putting the Engineering into Software Engineering".
- Two keynote speakers will set the stage for exploring the conference theme.
- Watts Humphrey will present "Toward a Discipline for Software Engineering."
- Humphrey was the first director of the SEI Process Program. In addition to
- designing and implementing the methodology for assessing software development
- processes, he has served on the Board of Examiners for the Malcolm Baldrige
- National Quality Award, and served on an Air Force advisory board.
-
- The second speaker, Anthony Hall will ask, "Is Software Engineering?" He will
- examine what it means to be an engineer, and what this implies for software
- engineering education. Hall is from the United Kingdom, where he is a
- principal consultant at Praxis Systems plc. His primary interests are the
- practical improvement of software development on real projects through the
- use of formal methods and other rigorous techniques, and understanding how
- to make software into a proper engineering discipline.
-
-
- CSEE '92 is presented in cooperation with the ACM and the IEEE Computer
- Society.

- The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) is a federally funded research and
- development center operated by Carnegie Mellon University under contract to
- the U.S. Department of Defense. The SEI's objective is to provide leadership
- in software engineering and in the transition of new software engineering
- technology into practice.
-
-
- KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
-
-
- Watts S. Humphrey
- Fellow, Software Engineering Institute
-
- Humphrey founded the SEI Software Process Program and is currently a research
- scientist on the institute staff. The Process Program provides leadership in
- establishing advanced software engineering processes, metrics, methods, and
- quality programs for the U.S.Government and its contractors.
-
- >From 1959 to 1986, Humphrey was associated with IBM Corporation. Among his
- assignments was the responsibility for IBM's commercial software development,
- including the first 19 releases of OS/360. He also managed IBM's Endicott,
- New York, development laboratory and was IBM director of policy development.
- As director of programming quality and process, Information Systems &
- Technology Group, he was responsible for establishing plans and implementation
- programs to improve the quality and productivity of IBMUs 370 programming
- systems development.
-
- Humphrey is the author of three books, Managing the Software Process; Managing
- for Innovation - Leading Technical People; and Switching Circuits with
- Computer Applications. He has been issued five U.S. patents.
-
-
-
- Anthony Hall
- Principal Consultant, Praxis Systems
-
- Hall has a first degree in Natural Sciences and a doctorate in Theoretical
- Chemistry. After a period of postdoctoral research, he joined the British
- Museum, where he established the computer section of the Research Laboratory.
-
- In 1980 he moved to Systems Programming Ltd., where he worked on compilers,
- databases, and software tools. He was a member of the UK Ada project, first
- as consultant on the Kernel APSE team and later as project manager.
-
- In 1984 he joined Systems Designers, where he was the principal consultant
- responsible for project support environments. During this time, Hall
- developed an interest in formal methods and was responsible for the formal
- specification of the Aspect Public Tool Interface.
-
- In 1986 Hall joined Praxis. He played a leading technical role on CASE, a
- project that used Z to specify a software engineering toolset for a Praxis
- client. Most recently, Hall has been leading the analysis and design team on
- CDIS, a large system development for the London Air Traffic Control Centre.
- This project is completely based on the use of formal methods and is probably
- the largest such project in existence. It is pioneering the practical
- application of such methods throughout the development lifecycle.

- Tutorial Session - Abstract
- ---------------------------
- Putting the 'Engineering' into Software Engineering
-
- The Software Architectures Engineering (SAE) Project at the Software
- Engineering Institute (SEI) has observed that the essential element of an
- engineering discipline is the use of models. Models are reusable, adaptable
- engineering assets that are patterns expressed in their most general, scalable
- form. The existence of proven models in a technology base provides economic
- and risk-avoidance incentives for engineers to constrain their design
- activities by expressing solutions in terms of existing models. This results
- in routine designs that are less complex, more maintainable, and more
- predictable in both cost and behavior.
-
- SAE classifies models as two major types: product models and practice models.
- The product model, when scaled, results in a component of the delivered
- product. Practice models guide the selection and use of product models during
- application development.
-
- Engineered products are composed from product models, which include
- domain-specific models and composition models, which capture patterns from
- certain disciplines. Domain-specific models capture the domain knowledge in
- a field of engineering expertise (e.g., control systems, signal processing).
- Composition models capture patterns of control and information flow
- particular to software. Thus, composition models specify the manner in which
- the domain-specific models are controlled and connected, providing a mechanism
- for implementing domain-specific models.
-
- In the tutorial "Putting the Engineering into Software Engineering,"
- SAE will discuss the role of models in traditional engineering disciplines,
- relate that to the engineering of software, and present an example that
- includes the following models:
-
-
- * Domain-specific product models from the control systems domain.
-
- * The Object-Connection-Update (OCU) Model:
- - a product model providing a control and connection framework for
- composing applications from domain-specific models.
-
- * Model-Based Software Development (MBSD):
- - a practice model guiding development using product models.
-
-
- Finally, we will discuss our experiences transitioning the OCU model and MBSD
- approach to organizations and the resulting implications on software
- engineering education curricula.

- Industry-University Initiative for Software Engineering Education
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- The program committee has established an Industry-University Initiative for
- Software Engineering Education as a catalyst for bringing together university
- educators and nearby industry and government organizations. We encourage
- industry to sponsor a faculty member's participation in CSEE '92, with the
- hope of stimulating further collaboration and interest in understanding one
- another's needs. We have early commitments from Bell Northern Research and
- Motorola of Southern Florida, and we've heard from others who have sponsorship
- plans under way. If you are interested in sponsoring a local professor to
- attend CSEE, contact Carol Sledge at the SEI, call (412) 268-7708, or send
- mail to cas@sei.cmu.edu.
