5th International GI/OCG/SSI - Conference on
Re-Technologies for Information Systems
Klagenfurt, Austria
4-5 December, 1997

ReTIS'97

This is the last announcement of a conference who's aim is
to bring together people from industry and academia for
discussing the actual state of the art in re- and reverse
engineering, reuse as well as maintenance of information systems.

We apologize if our assumption, that you could be interested
in the topics of ReTIS'97 is not true or if you receive this
announcement several times through different channels.

The CASSAM future

**************************
Conference aims and scope
**************************
Up to now the domain of software engineering mainly
addresses the "productive" - development oriented -
phases of the software life cycle. Lots of design and
development concepts, methods, models and tools including
those for structuring and managing the development process
itself have been invented and discussed. Against that, the
exploitation/production period, exceeding the development
cycle and being productive for the user, was more or less
on the sidelines of attention.

Users, however, need productive systems - they need support
and maintenance, and this for all years until retirement or
migration of the software.

Support and maintenance need computerised methods and tools.
This leads to the notion of CASSAM (Computer Aided Software
Support and Maintenance). The ReTISÆ97 event of the ReTIS
(Re-Technologies for Information Systems) conference series
is dedicated to these aspects.

ReTIS conferences are aimed to bring together people from
business, research and industry who are concerned with and
interested in re-technologies for information system
development and usage.

The ReTISÆ97 contributions are a balanced mix of reports
from research and application giving a broad insight into
the state of the art concerning problems and solutions
within the context of software maintenance and re-engineering.
Main topics are techniques, issues of legacy systems,
methods and paradigms for migration, and business process
engineering aspects of re-engineering. The papers have been
reviewed each by three reviewers and selected with an
acceptance rate of 50%.

Conference Location
********************
The conference will be held at the University campus in
Klagenfurt, Austria. The campus is located been downtown
Klagenfurt and one of EuropeÆs most scenic lakes,
