Covering current issues in software design and development, these conference proceedings include chapters on: tool architecture; data reengineering; business information technology and year 2000 problem; maintenance effort; and telecommunications.

The March 1997 proceedings from the first conference uniting the previously divergent groups of software maintenance professionals and academic software engineers via the addition of a third party of commercial suppliers. The resulting 30 presentations reflect the group diversity, covering topics in methodology, software configuration management, formal methods, program analysis, planning strategies for the year 2000 problem, migration of user interfaces, object-oriented-reuse, and case studies in maintenance and reengineering.
