Method Engineering '96 Conference August 25 -29, 1996 | |
Conference | Method Engineering '96 focuses on the design, construction and evaluation of methods, techniques, and support tools for information systems development. Over the years, numerous development methods, based on a variety of paradigms, have been propsed. Over the years, numerous development methods, based on a variety of paradigms, have been proposed. Of these a substantial number are currently applied in industry, with mixed success. Both generic and method-specific specification techniques have been designed for use within various development approaches.These methods are constantly adapted and extended to meet the changing needs of the practice and to reflect new technological an organizational insights. The advent of Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools has increased the turbulence in the field by making the underlying methods and techniques more aparent to their users, while, at the same time, reducing their ability to adapt to changing needs. Recent me! thods based on new paradigms, such as object-orientation, or new application types, as workflow management and client-server architectures, reveal the trend towards modular methods with generic, interchangeable components. The conference will focus on method and support tool construction from the point of view of methods for planning, analysis, design and evaluation, and from the point of view of the interaction of information systems and the organization. It is felt that the key solution to optimal method construction lies in the understanding of both methodological/technical issues as well as organizational/behavioral issues. |
