ACM SIGSOFT 92 - ADVANCE PROGRAM

Fifth Symposium on Software Development Environments
McLean Hilton, Tyson's Corner, Virginia
December 9-11, 1992

Sponsored by ACM SIGSOFT

The Fifth Symposium on Software Development Environments will strike
a balance between analyzing and learning from past experience, and
looking forward to the future generation of innovative environment
technologies.

Included in the technical program are demonstrations of innovative
environment technology and two special sessions.  Since many
organizations have systems development problems, one session will con-
centrate on the similarities and differences between Software
Engineering Environments and other Computer-Assisted Engineering
environments to stimulate cross-fertilization between the dis-
ciplines.  The other special session will concentrate on drawing
lessons from some of the recent environment building projects.
