General terms and their definitions, contained in Part 1, have been taken "as is" from the best available sources. No attempts have been made, so far, to edit respective definitions. The objective of compiling this part of the glossary was just to collect an initial set of terms to form a basis for further work, perhaps by a committee. For some terms in this group no appropriate definitions have been found, so they are left undefined. Part 2 contains a self-contained set of terms for multiprocessor buses, which has been compiled and edited by the author, and prepared for a separate publication. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - questionnaire.ascii QUESTIONNAIRE ON REAL-TIME SYSTEMS EDUCATION.

I am involved with the computer science end. If anyone would like more information about the conference or the society, they can contact me at bagert@cs.coe.ttu.edu (my new email address). Thanks, Don Bagert _________ 1994 INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF EPISTECYBERNETICS CONFERENCE OCTOBER 14-15, 1994, LUBBOCK, TEXAS "New Methods in the Governance of Knowledge" PURPOSE The discipline of Epistecybernetics was formed in 1990 to facilitate the development of the science of the stewardship of knowledge. Knowledge stewardship is seen as efforts to advance the study and improvement of the major functions of knowledge. These functions are disciplined thinking, research, teaching, knowledge organization, storage, retrieval, and dissemination. Epistecybernetics has the purpose of advancing the stewardship of knowledge. This means that knowledge is to be distinguished from other forms of information, carefully studied with the intent of improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the major knowledge functions. Researchers, educators, and practioners have a vital stake in improving knowledge stewardship. You are invited to share with the scholarly community your investigations into knowledge stewardship by submitting a paper for consideration for inclusion in the 1994 Annual Conference of the International Society for Epistecybernetics.

The Reengineering Forum is a combined industry/research review of the state of the art and the state of the practice in reengineering of business processes and software systems. CALL FOR PAPERS ICSM '94 International Conference on Software Maintenance and Tools Fair Victoria, British Columbia, Canada September 19-23, 1994 Build for Evolution The primary business of the software industry has histori- cally been new development; now it is maintenance and evo- lution. Today more software professionals are employed to maintain and evolve existing applications than to develop new systems from scratch. Software engineers need a variety of analytical skills, tools, and methodologies to cope with the challenges of maintaining large, aging software systems. The software industry critically depends on enhancing the maintenance processes of legacy or heritage systems which potentially constitute immense corporate advantages if managed effectively. Suggested Topics - designing for ease of maintenance and evolution - living with legacy or heritage systems - software evolution, migration, and conversion - achieving and maintaining fitness for use - reverse engineering and design recovery - design decision capture and exploitation - annotating and documenting software systems - program understanding and comprehension - recognizing syntactic, semantic, structural, behavioral patterns in existing software systems - re-engineering and restructuring - business re-engineering - standards and methodologies - process and lifecycle models - empirical maintenance studies - maintenance and maintainability metrics - formal methods applied to maintenance and evolution - change and impact analysis - knowledge-based system maintenance - verification and testing methods for maintenance - software maintenance and evolution tools - software architectures for maintenance and evolution - software maintenance education Scope Software maintenance includes enhancing, adapting, and correcting software. Software evolution includes capturing, preserving, and extending knowledge about software systems evolving over long periods of time. ICSM '94 will provide a forum for discussing software maintenance and evolution through refereed papers, experience reports, panel sessions, exhibits, and informal meetings. ICSM '94 will present the most important practical, experimental, and theoretical work currently conducted to support software maintenance and evo- lution. The participants will include practitioners and researchers from industry, academia, and government. Submissions Submit 5 copies of papers, experience reports, or panel pro- posals in English to one of the Program Co-Chairs. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at ICSM '94. Submissions will be evaluated by an international program committee for their applicability and relevance to the software maintenance community. Papers Submit 2000-5000 words, which have not been previously pub- lished and are not under consideration for publication else- where. Please include on the first page the title, all authors' names, complete contact information of the lead author (address, phone/fax numbers, e-mail), a short abstract of no more than 250 words, a list of descriptive keywords, and a specification of the type of submission (Research/ Experience). Research Papers Submissions will be evaluated for originality, significance, soundness, and clarity. Methodological papers should show how the results presented contribute to maintenance prac- tice. Papers on systems should concentrate on technical and architectural issues. Experimental papers should describe the experimental methods used and interpret the results in terms of practice. Experience Reports Submissions might include experiences with software mainte- nance technologies or processes (e.g., using a tool or a method, applying a metric, following a project management or software process discipline). Emphasize outcomes, insights gained, and lessons learned. Panels Proposals should include a title, the proposed chair, the tentative panelists, a brief description of the panel ses- sion subject, and a supporting rationale. Panelists should have agreed to participate before the submission of the pro- posal. Tutorials ICSM tutorials should address maintenance topics that are of particular interest to practitioners. Proposals for full- day or half-day tutorials should include a detailed outline of the material, a description of past experience with the tutorial, an assessment of the materials' maturity, and credentials of the instructor. Submit 5 copies to the Tutorials Chair. Tools Fair Exhibitors A tools fair proposal should include a 1-2 page description of the tool or environment, its applicability to software maintenance, an outline of the proposed demonstration, the amount of exhibit space required, hardware platform required, and any other requirements. Clearly identify the submission as "Research Prototype" or "Vendor Tool." Submit 3 copies by May 31, 1994 to the Tools Fair Chair. Important Dates Submission deadline March 25, 1994 Tools Fair proposals May 13, 1994 Acceptance notification June 10, 1994 Final version due July 29, 1994 Conference Location The conference will be held downtown in the Victoria Conference Centre. Victoria is one of the top leisure des- tinations of the world. Mountains and sky, islands and sea, hospitality and high technology--all come together in the city of flowers and gardens. The mild climate in Victoria is due to warm Pacific currents which give British Columbia's capital a definitely Mediterranean climate. Conference delegates and their families have the opportunity to experience a holiday they will remember for years to come. Some of the world-famous attractions in Victoria and on Vancouver Island include Butchart Gardens, Craigdarroch Castle, City tours on a Double Decker buses, University of Victoria, High Tea at the Empress Hotel, Royal BC Museum, salmon BBQ, whale watching tours, San Juan and Gulf Islands, and Long Beach National Park. Transportation Victoria's prime location, on the southernmost tip of Van- couver Island, midway between Europe and Asia, provides easy access from almost anywhere in the world. Victoria's Inter- national Airport is connected to the Vancouver or Seattle- Tacoma International airports by over 40 flights daily offered by several airlines. The 20 minute flight across Puget Sound or the Gulf Islands is absolutely spectacular. There are direct flights offered by a variety of carriers from many cities in the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Canada to Vancouver and Seattle. Victoria can also be reached from Vancouver and Seattle by float planes, ferries, and catamarans. Conference Committee General Chair Lee J.
