Currently 100 people have submitted meeting registrations to me and only 75 of these have called for hotel reservations. Please be sure and make your reservations as soon as possible to assure your hotel accommodations. The hotel has extended the period to call for hotel rooms to Friday, June 6, 1997 to allow those folks who may have been on travel or vacation the last two weeks; HOWEVER, I will take meeting registrations til June 27, 1997. Again, please copy "Demo Days Registration Submission Form" in the subject line on your completed registration form in order to receive a timely confirmation receipt notice. If you have any questions, please let me know right away. Thanks for your prompt attention to this matter. Alana _______________________________________________________________________ _____ 2nd Annual Evolutionary Design of Complex Software (EDCS) Program Workshop and Demo Days Doubletree Suites Hotel Seattle Washington July 21-24, 1997 Demonstration Days - July 21-22 Program Workshop - July 23-24 General Information You are invited to attend the 2nd Annual EDCS Program Workshop and Demo Days July 21-24, 1997 "See the Technology You'll Be Using Tomorrow" Evolutionary Systems are those that are capable of accommodating change over an extended system lifetime with reduced risk and cost/schedule impact. Most of our complex defense systems depend on software for their successful operation and, as a result, the software in those systems is the primary vehicle for adapting to change. The EDCS Program is providing for the development and experimental application of new software technologies which can enable significant improvements in military mission effectiveness and information superiority. The goal is the capability to produce software intensive military systems that are highly flexible and adaptable to meet changing requirements - evolutionary systems. The ultimate EDCS vision is automated change. The program has created some exciting demonstrations of how the emerging technologies apply to a number of military scenarios related to evolving software for: Satellite Ground Stations; Heavy Bomber (B-2); the Global Transportation Network; E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS); Missile Guidance, Navigation, and Control (MGN&C), and; F-16. EDCS participants will be demonstrating how technology in 5 areas contributes to military scenarios of change. These areas are: 1) Rationale Capture and Software Understanding: Rationale is captured in a knowledge base and represented in a manner that permits explanation, exploration, and management. Constraint maintenance techniques can be used to monitor rationale, such as design decisions, so that future changes to the system do not violate previous requirements. 2) Architecture and Generation: Architecture work combines descriptions of component functionality with specifications of how a component interacts, coordinates, cooperates, and communicates with other components. The goal is to recognize the fundamental qualities imparted to systems by these various interconnection strategies, verify that implementations achieve these qualities, and encourage informed choices. Executable code can be generated or composed in the context of the specified architecture. 3) High Assurance and Real-Time: Design, development, deployment, integration, interoperation, and evolution of systems that provide evidence supporting high confidence that all critical system requirements will be met. Two approaches are being explored. The first combines testing and analysis of executable code and architectural representations. The second emphasizes providing run-time assurances that the system will conform to desired properties. 4) Design Management: Addresses a scaleable information substrate that is aimed at the retention, organization, and exploitation of all useful software information. It will: provide shared views of the information infrastructure; support information conceptualization, representation, and manipulation of multi-media software artifacts; enable effective collaboration in a distributed setting, and; provide consistency management of all software-pertinent artifacts. It will also support processes for the controlled evolution of the information substrate. 5) Dynamic Languages: The capabilities of dynamic languages to support rapid prototyping and optimized software performance are combined with techniques to increase reliability and predictability, and facilitate interoperability with more conventional procedural languages. EDCS projects in these areas include a mix of efforts -- ranging from some basic research efforts co-funded with NSF to several efforts co-funded with the US Air Force and US Army that are developing and packaging technology and conducting demonstrations. Demonstrations on July 21 and 22 will include both individual technologies and integration efforts. On the morning of July 21st, a set of overview presentations and video clips will be provided which tie various EDCS technologies to military scenarios. Following the overview presentations, on Monday afternoon and Tuesday, numerous demonstrations of existing EDCS technology will be available. Your participation is welcomed. On July 23-24, workshops for EDCS community members only will address the five technology areas identified above and will focus on the direction of those technologies in the next few years. Preliminary Agenda NOTES: 1) Demonstration Days attendees are urged to be in place at the Doubletree Inn Ballroom at 0800 on Monday, July 21. The morning block of presentations are very important as they set the context for the demonstrations that will follow on Monday afternoon and Tuesday. 2) EDCS Program participants are requested (and expected) to attend BOTH FULL DAY SESSIONS of the program workshop on July 23-24. A more detailed agenda will be available shortly. 3) Due to space constraints, two co-located Doubletree Hotels are being used for both meeting rooms and overnight guests. Please note the use of both facilities on Monday, July 21. 4) Registration tables will be set up at the Doubletree Suites during breakfast on July 21. At 0800, the registration table will move to the Doubletree Inn Ballroom to accommodate late arrivals. Registration will then be available on Tuesday, July 22 back in the Doubletree Suites.
