We seek positive and negative articles that clearly describe valuable lessons learned using a mature technology that has been validated through use. This special issue will focus on the practical experiences observed and learned from real projects. What works and what does not work both will be reported. Authors should present their work in terms that are useful to the entire software community. To plan a submission, refer to the September 1993 special issue and to The Mythical Man-Month by Frederick Brooks.
Submissions are peer-reviewed and are subject to editing for style, clarity, and space.
Presentations included such topics as Process Assessment and Improvement, Software Modeling and Quality, Reuse, Qual- ity and Users, Product Quality, and Testing. Below is a list of the titles and authors. Paolo Nesi edited the Proceedings for the conference, which are now available. Each note briefly explains a feature of a currently-offered SR product or important information about software testing. Although user interfaces now provide the user with more aesthetic options, the fact that these options can be invoked in any order has created a more complex environment for test- ing and the inconsistencies across platforms.
