Software Development Magazine Software Development magazine covers
the people, products, and practices of corporate development.
It exclusively targets corporate developers and technical managers
working at mainly mid- to large-size companies with sizable development
staffs. Its readership consists largely of the people who lead
or participate in mission-critical development projects. They
are the pragmatists of their organizations, and they balance
the benefits of new technology with adoption risks. They understand
the importance of legacy code and microcomputers, and they also
understand that maximizing the productivity of their programming
team is crucial to their job as well as to their organization.

necessary to design and build the large-scale software systems
needed to maintain our technological edge for our deployed forces
and to support force deployment. In 1992, the SPMN established
the National Software Alliance (NSA). The NSA, under SPMN management,
is engaged in two critical efforts: first, to help address our
nation's increasingly severe software labor shortage; and second,
to facilitate the understanding, deployment, and effective use
of software industry management and technical best practices.
The NSA accomplishes these objectives by disseminating best practices
information and specialized skill courses to government organizations,
industry, academia, and foundations. Participation in the NSA
is open and without charge to all U.S.-based parties, including
software practitioners, executives, strategic planners, consultants,
technologists, and educators.

ISSRE'2000 -- International Symposium on Software Reliability
Engineering October 8-11, 2000 Doubletree
Hotel, San Jose, CA
http://www.rstcorp.com/conferences/issre2000/
ISSRE'2000 seeks to bring together practitioners and researchers
from around the world to share the latest information and know-how
related to all areas of software reliability engineering for
a broad range of applications. The theme of the 2000 symposium
will be "Applying Software Reliability". ISSRE'2000
seeks new results concerning today's software reliability problems.
But ISSRE'2000 will give preference to papers focusing on the
application of theory to the practice of reliability assessment.
ISSRE'2000 has adopted this theme so that: (1) researchers can
better hone their efforts toward the real problems expected in
the next century, and (2) industry practitioners can describe
real-world problems and the needed reliability technologies.
