Educators, trainers, managers, and administrators come gather together to exchange ideas about how to enhance software engineering training and education. CSEE attracts international participation and attendees come from industry, academia, and government. Our purpose is to influence educational directions, stimulate new approaches, promote collaboration, and generate interactive exchanges among all educational stakeholders. The Program The program includes keynote speakers, refereed papers, panel discussions, tutorials, and facilitated discussion groups. There will be opportunities to organize additional meetings, workshops, or Birds-of-a-feather sessions while you are there. Proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press will be distributed to attendees. Stevens Lecture The purpose of the Stevens Lecture is to advance the state of software development methods and enhance their continuing evolution. The award recipient is recognized for outstanding contributions to the literature or practice of methods for software development. The lecture presentation will focus on advancing or analyzing the state of software methods and their direction for the future. This award lecture is named in memory of Wayne Stevens (1944-1993), a highly-respected consultant, author, pioneer, and advocate of the practical application of software methods and tools. His 1974 article "Structured Design" was the first published on the topic and has been widely reprinted from the _IBM Systems Journal_. He was the author of the books _Software Design: Concepts and Methods_ (Prentice-Hall International, 1991) and _Using Structured Design_ (Wiley, 1981). His last article "Data Flow Analysis and Design," appears in the Encyclopedia of Software Engineering (Wiley, 1994). Stevens was the chief architect of IBM's application development methodology. The inaugural Stevens Lecture was given by Tony Wasserman at CASE '95 (7th International Workshop on CASE) in Toronto in July 1995. The Stevens Lecture is sponsored by IWCASE, the international sponsoring association of the CASE workshop - the principal technical meeting of the CASE field. The Stevens Lecture and reception will be an evening event on April 22. The lecture is open to all CSEE attendees and to the other guests at no charge. TUTORIAL REGISTRATION Because space for tutorials is limited, registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are interested in more than one tutorial, indicate the order of your preferences. We reserve the right to cancel a tutorial that is not sufficiently subscribed. Birds-of-a-feather sessions Birds-of-a-feather sessions will be held Sunday, April 21, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Tuesday, April 23, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1996 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.: Registration SUNDAY, APRIL 21, 1996 Tutorials 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.: Full-Day Tutorial Formal Methods: Why? What? How? Neville Dean, Anglia Polytechnic University David Gries, Cornell University Michael G. Hinchey, New Jersey Institute of Technology Formal methods are now widely recognized as constituting a highly successful means of controlling complexity, and of assuring of the reliability of complex computer systems. As they are being recommended, and indeed mandated, in more and more international standards, the requirement that graduate engineers (both software and hardware) are trained and are conversant in their application has become more critical. One must question, however, the standards and rationale of formal methods education. Many practising software engineers have no idea of what constitutes a formal method, nor how to apply them. At least part of the blame for such ``ignorance'' and prejudice must be leveled at formal methods educators. Students are led to believe that formal methods are difficult to use, involve complex mathematics, and basically require the use of Greek symbols and hieroglyphics to specify and build trivial systems which could have been ``hacked'' together in a fraction of the time. Little seems to be understood of the potential of teaching formal methods (and discrete mathematics) as a way of developing attitudes and analytical skills that can be of immense value in all areas of computing. In addition, many students lack the prerequisites needed to apply formal methods in practice--basic ability with discrete mathematics, propositional and predicate logics, and an ability to derive rigorous proofs of anything of more than a trivial nature. This one-day tutorial aims to place formal methods in context, answering three important questions: 1) Why do we need formal methods, and why should we teach them? 2) What are these ``formal methods''? 3) How should we teach them? The tutorial will also present an approach to modeling systems using basic set theory and first-order logic, and an approach to reasoning about models based on equational logic. The tutorial is aimed at educators in all areas of computer science, but in particular those teaching classes related to software engineering, whether or not they are already teaching formal methods. At the end of the tutorial, attendees should be convinced of the relevance of, and need for, formal methods in industrial practice, and of the need and feasibility of teaching formal methods to undergraduates. They will also have been presented with an approach to teaching both modeling and reasoning skills that may form the basis of their own course, and which has been shown to work with outstanding results. 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.: Half-Day Tutorial Research Methods in Computer Science Education Vicki L. Almstrum, The University of Texas at Austin Judy Gurka, The University of Colorado, Boulder The target audience for this tutorial is software engineering and computer science instructors who are interested in doing educational research while continuing to fulfill their many other responsibilities. The tutorial will provide an overview of both qualitative and quantitative designs and methods of analysis in educational research, including decision points and trade-offs. We will not assume more than a rudimentary background in educational research design or statistical methods. The tutorial will have a strong practical flavor, with concrete examples used to illustrate the definitions and theory. Particular attention will be given to the challenges faced by instructor-researchers whose classroom sizes are small and therefore do not lend themselves to classical experimental designs. Attendees will leave the tutorial with several handouts designed to provide support and information as they set up their own research studies. Participants will also be invited to join an electronic mailing list dedicated to discussion and dissemination of ideas on the topic of educational research in computer science. 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.: Half-Day Tutorial Prototyping Systems Donna D. Gregorio, The MITRE Corporation Prototyping systems is an excellent means of rapidly and economically gathering, verifying, and documenting system requirements. However, developing and using prototypes is not without its risks. There is a need to apply software engineering practices and follow a process proven to avoid risks while realizing prototyping benefits. This half-day tutorial emphasizes the three phase process of prototyping. Guidelines for prototyping using object oriented methods, reusable components, and COTS are discussed. Experiences in using prototypes in various environments are reviewed and the lessons learned from experience are detailed. Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to do the following: -given a prototyping opportunity, identify and document the problem which the prototype will address -given a problem definition, develop a plan to build the prototype -given a prototype, determine how the results will be used 1:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.: Half-Day Tutorial Formal Specifications via Z Hossein Saiedian, University of Nebraska at Omaha Formal methods, and in particular, the language Z, have become important ingredients of many software engineering programs, and quite a few software engineering textbooks nowadays include a chapter or two to emphasize the role of formal methods during modeling and analysis and use Z as a means to illustrate the concepts. Z is a software specification language based on the systematic application of simple mathematics and has become quite popular in recent years. The objective of this tutorial is to acquaint the audience with the basic concepts of formal methods and to teach them how to read and write specifications in the formal specification language Z. The fundamental concepts of Z, including Z schemas, Z calculus, and Z types and operators will be presented by means of examples. At the end, the audience will be introduced to a number of excellent resources for further investigation of formal methods and in particular, the language Z. No previous knowledge of Z is required. The materials presented can be integrated into an introductory software engineering course. 1:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.: Half-Day Tutorial Object-Oriented Software Product Metrics Michael C. Stinson, Central Michigan University Clark B. Archer, Winthrop University The goals of this tutorial are to motivate attendees to measure software products early in the life cycle and continuously measure these products as they are developed. The presenters will discuss the concept of measuring and the statistical rationale for the types of data that need to be collected to calculate meaningful measures of object-oriented software products. The presenters will give a taxonomy for current object-oriented software measures, indicate how current measures are classified, and point out weaknesses in the current suite of software measures. The presenters will offer some suggestions for a minimal set of metrics to assess quality in object-oriented software. 7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Birds-of-a-feather TBD MONDAY, APRIL 22, 1996 Registration: 7:15 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Continental Breakfast: 7:15 a.m. - 8:45 a.m. Opening Remarks: 8:45 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. Nancy R. Mead, SEI, Carnegie Mellon University Keynote Address: 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. Dennis J. Frailey Texas Instruments MS 8449 6600 Chase Oaks Boulevard Plano, TX 75023 Innovate or Perish - The Opportunity for Software Engineering Education Software engineering education is maturing at a time when the educational establishment is facing serious challenges to its survival. Labor-intensive industries like education cannot keep pace with the productivity gains exhibited in other sectors. And the pace of change is becoming so rapid that our fastest responses are inadequate. Not only must we change the way we educate, but we must change the way we change. Dramatic, even revolutionary ideas are needed--ideas that may reinvent the educational world as we know it. But those of us in software engineering have unique opportunities - we are less fettered by past approaches than our colleagues in more establish fields, and as software professionals we certainly understand rapid change. This presentation will review some of the forces at work and identify some possible approaches. Above all, we must think differently - and it can be done.

This is generally an unhealthy approach, as the requirements for virtually all significant software products are to some degrees unknown, unknowable, or the results of compromises requiring the software engineer's participation and expertise. In USC's first-semester MS-level software engineering core course, we have been experimenting with case-study and role-playing approaches to learning about software requirements engineering. The role-playing approach involves a Theory W (win-win) interpretation of software requirements as negotiated stakeholder win conditions. Students form three-person teams to role-play as the users, customers, and developers of a software application system (e.g., a library information system or an urban fire dispatching system). They use an experimental groupware requirements engineering support system called WinWin being developed at USC. The presentation will summarize our experiences in using the approach to date.

Grady Hewlett-Packard Company Corporate Engineering 1501 Page Mill Road, MS 5MR Palo Alto, California 94304 Lessons from Industrial Adoption of Software Engineering Practices Industrial adoption of software engineering practices can take years. Academia needs to help speed this process. The challenge that industry faces in widely adopting just one of these practices, software inspections, is traced through over fifteen years of company-wide experience in Hewlett-Packard. Four historical stages give insights into many lessons learned within HP and elsewhere. Each period is illustrated with some of the most successful techniques learned and some of the mistakes that were made. Finally, a model that HP is currently using to measure and track adoption is given that shows our current approach to accelerating continued inspections process improvements. The final challenge is: What do these industrial lessons mean to educators, and what should they do to help speed the adoption of best practices? Biographical Data Software development and project management using software metrics have been key professional interests for much of Bob Grady's 25-year career in Hewlett-Packard Co. He has managed projects in the areas of compilers, measurement and control systems, firmware, and manufacturing automation and information systems. He started HP's Corporate Software Engineering Lab in 1983, and while he managed it during the period of 1983-1986, he and Deborah Caswell established and led the company-wide software metrics program in HP. Presently, he is the Software Metrics Program Manager for HP's Corporate Engineering Software Initiatives, and he continues to be instrumental in the progress HP is making in software metrics. Bob is a member of the IEEE Computer Society. He has written and coauthored numerous papers and articles on software subjects, including the books _Software Metrics: Establishing a Company-Wide Program_ and _Practical Software Metrics for Project Management and Process Improvement_, published by Prentice-Hall. A native of Chicago, Illinois, he received a B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1965 and his M.S. degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1969. Prior to joining HP, he worked for Ford Aerospace Corporation. 10:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.: Break and Networking 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.: Meeting Professional Needs 10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.: Panel Session Meeting Industry's Needs - Should we Teach the Software Engineering of the Past?
