Subject: Call for Participation Open Source Software Development Workshop
WORKSHOP ON OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT, 25-26 FEBRUARY 2002
Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
http://www.dirc.org.uk/events/ossdw/main.html
The focus of the Open Source Software Development workshop is on
dependability and open-source software development. Dependability is a
deliberately broad term which, among others, covers reliability, security,
safety and availability.
We have put together an exciting programme and would welcome further
participation from the community. Participation would be particularly
welcomed from any of those engaged in, or affected by, the design,
development or operation of open source software. An important objective of
this workshop is a greatly improved understanding of the complete
organisational and cultural context of complex systems of which computers
are a part. To this end, we especially encourage participation from
interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners, since we believe that such
research is crucial for progress towards the safe deployment of new
technologies.
Those interested in participating in this event should send an e-mail
stating their interest to Cristina.Gacek@ncl.ac.uk, preferably by 15th
February 2002.
