Calif. UIST is the premier annual forum on innovative development of the human-computer interface. The symposium brings together researchers and practitioners with an interest in techniques, tools, and technology for constructing quality, innovative user interfaces. The intimate size, single track, and comfortable surroundings make this symposium an ideal opportunity to exchange research results and implementation experiences. Calif. This symposium is designed to appeal to both industry and academic people from novices who need a jump-start in a new field to experts who are striving to polish their skills. The areas of software reliability engineering covered by the tutorials and tracks are far too numerous to cover here, but they include engineering practice, techniques and tools, process measurement, methodologies, safety, estimation, sampling methods, tracking, and decision making.
Measurement is a well-established practice in all engineering disciplines except software.
Pa. This course will be offered by technical staff members of the Software Process Definition Project at the Software Engineering Institute. The course is aimed at helping participants learn and practice process definition skills. This course trains members of software engineering process groups and process action teams in the skills required to define and improve their organization's software processes. Process definition is a prerequisite to making orderly, sustained improvements to an organization's software processes. The SEI suggests that entire teams take the workshop together.
