A Workshop on Research Issues in Software Engineering (February 25-26, 1988 in Atlanta, Georgia)

将组织一个关于软件工程研究问题的研讨会。将邀请大约25名代表学术界、工业界和政府的人士参加。研讨会至少有三个重点。首先，研讨会参与者需要确定软件工程中的主要研究问题。研讨会将集中讨论可以在国家科学基金会项目下开展的活动，即在学术环境下进行研究，但不排除工业参与。第二个重点将是适当的研究范式。软件工程是一个广泛的主题，没有单一的范例总是合适的。研讨会将尝试找出研究课题的方法。这意味着背景和方法，也就是说，最好的研究是由单个研究者、团队、财团或学术-工业伙伴关系进行的。还将考虑规模问题。讲习班还审议与供资水平和有关问题有关的问题。讲习班将产生一份全面的文件，解决问题和建议的行动方案，提供和评估国家需求对软件工程研究的影响，以及对这些问题的优先考虑。//

A workshop on Research Issues in Software Engineering is to be organized. Approximately 25 persons representing academia, industry and government will be invited. There are at least three foci of the workshop. First the workshop attendees will need to identify the major research issues in Software Engineering. The workshop would concentrate on topics which represent activities that can be carried out under NSF programs, i.e., research in an academic setting, but not excluding industrial participation. The second focus will be on appropriate research paradigms. Software Engineering is a broad subject and no single paradigm will always be appropriate. The workshop will attempt to identify approaches to the topics of research. This means context as well methodology, i.e., is the research best carried out by a single investigator, by teams, by consortia, or by academic-industrial paternerships. Issues of scale will be also be considered. The workshop also consider questions related to funding levels and related issues. The workshop will produce a comprehensive document that addresses the issues and the proposed courses of action, provide and assessment of the national needs vis-a-vis their impact on Software Engineering research, and the perceived priorities on these issues.//
