Topic:		State of the Art in Tools for Managing Software Complexity
Date:		Monday April 11. Full day
Location:	Allegro Grand Casino Kursaal Bern

NB: The CHOOSE General Assembly and Elections to the Executive Board 
will be held at the start of the lunch break.

Description
-----------
Modern software systems are increasingly large, complex, heterogeneous  
and open. Developers and maintainers are increasingly turning towards  
advanced tools and environments to help them manage this complexity.

But what do these tools offer? What is the state-of-the-art in such 
tools? And do they really help developers with the problems they  are 
facing today?

This CHOOSE Forum will offer a series of presentations of 
state-of-the-art tools for managing, maintaining, analyzing and 
reengineering complex software systems. The day will conclude with a 
session in which  developers in charge of complex software systems will 
have the opportunity  to assess and evaluate the state-of-the-art.

The day also includes the CHOOSE General Assembly, including  reports 
from the President and the Treasurer, and elections for the CHOOSE  
Executive Board.
