I was cornered by the Software Design and Productivity CG of NCO (this is an interagency coordination office for the White House) to organize a workshop on SDP. The purpose is described below. While these "national research agendas" ususally do no guarantee substantial, long-term government funding, experience shows that their lack pretty much guarantee the lack of funding. I would like to ask you to send this note out to the EmSoft mailing list and to any other places (e.g. Berkeley lists, etc.) where you think people would respond. Below you find a text we send out together with a pointer to the web-site. Thanks a lot, Janos - ----------- Academic, industrial, and government researchers are invited to submit white papers on research ideas in software design technologies that can dramatically increase software productivity without compromising software quality. Submitted papers will be considered for presentation and discussion at a "Workshop on New Visions for Software Design and Productivity: Research and Applications" to be held December 13-14, 2001, at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. The output of the workshop will be a public report prepared by the Federal government's Software Design and Productivity (SDP) Coordinating Group (CG) that summarizes the ideas identified in the workshop. The workshop report will be used by Government agencies and policy makers in developing a broad, long-term Federal software design and productivity research agenda and guiding future software R&D programs. Such research is critical to the security and economic viability of the U.S. and is highly aligned with the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC) recommendation that the U.S. "make fundamental software research an absolute priority." Details of the workshop can be found at www.isis.vanderbilt.edu/sdp. ------- End of Forwarded Message
