ESF Seminar - November 25/26/27 - Berlin
========================================

Software Factories - from concepts to practice
==============================================


 The idea of a Software Factory has been with us for decades, but 
despite great progress in many areas, industrial-strength software 
production is still not well established. The Eureka Software 
Factory (ESF) is a ten-year cooperative project, set up at the end 
of 1986 under the Eureka Programme by a powerful European 
consortium of users, suppliers and research institutes 
specifically to attack this problem from a European perspective. 
Its vision is the mature Software Factory: an industrial-scale 
software production facility in which effective management control 
and effective capital investment combine to industrialise the 
software production process.

 Such facilities consist of many elements, both organisational and 
technological. In ESF, we aim to put the pieces together so that 
software developers and their suppliers can benefit from the same 
sort of advances that have been made in other high technology 
fields. Halfway through the project, real advances have been made 
and real products have already been introduced to the marketplace.

 The ESF Seminar 1992 is your opportunity to share our insights. 
It is organised into a business track and a research and 
development track, creating opportunies for fruitful dialogue 
between the research and the business communities. 

Don't hesitate to ask for more information. We look forward to 
welcoming you in Berlin!
