Apologies for the error in my previous posting. Clearly we are in 2005, not 2004. The URL for the 2005 CHOOSE Forum has also been corrected. The corrected announcement appears below. Oscar Nierstrasz --- This message is a pre-announcement for the CHOOSE Forum and General Assembly 2005 Topic: State of the Art in Tools for Managing Software Complexity Date: Monday April 11, 2005. Full day Location: Allegro Grand Casino Kursaal Bern Description: Modern software systems are increasingly large, complex, heterogeneous and open. Developers and maintainers are increasingly turning towards advanced tools and environments to help them manage this complexity. But what do these tools offer? What is the state-of-the-art in such tools? And do they really help developers with the problems they are facing today? This CHOOSE Forum will offer a series of presentations of state-of-the-art tools for managing, maintaining, analyzing and reengineering complex software systems. The day will conclude with a session in which developers in charge of complex software systems will have the opportunity to assess and evaluate the state-of-the-art. The day also includes the CHOOSE General Assembly, including reports from the President and the Treasurer, and elections for the CHOOSE Executive Board. Program and Registration details will be available in early March from the CHOOSE web site: www.choose.s-i.ch/Events/forum2005.html For questions, please contact Oscar Nierstrasz (oscar(a)iam.unibe.ch). choose-news(a)iam.unibe.ch is a *moderated* mailing list for announcing non-commercial events related to Object Technology in Switzerland.
