Darrel Ince's new book on Developing Distributed and E-commerce Applications has been published recently. RE is concerned with identifying the purpose of a software system, and the context in which it will be used. Hence, RE acts as the bridge between the real world needs of users, customers, and other constituencies affected by a software system, and the capabilities and opportunities afforded by software-intensive technologies. RE'01 is the fifth in a biennial series of international symposia on Requirements Engineering. The symposium will provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to share ideas and experiences.

Direct Combination is a recently devised user interaction framework which systematically extends Direct Manipulation. We are looking for a postgraduate researcher who has either substantial programming skills in an object- oriented language, preferably Smalltalk or Java, or substantial skills in experimental design for HCI usability studies or human performance evaluation. An interest or background in HCI is essential. An interest in or experience with mobile and ubiquitous computing devices would be an additional advantage. Further information is available here .
