Session A: Convention Center _ A201, A205, A207, A209 The OMG Software Process Engineering Architecture The RFI for a software process engineering architecture had six submissions by the 1 March 1999 deadline. The first and most important question was whether the Object Management Group (OMG) should be concerned with standardizing process at any level. Each panelist, all of whom are either involved in one of the RFI responses and/or are well-known authors on the topic of OO process, will make their position statement on the value to the industry of a possible RFP and subsequent adoption of a process framework technology. The subsequent discussion will focus on the abstraction level of most value for such a standardization effort, as well as the scope of required submissions to any RFP that may be issued.

What are teachers doing well, where are they failing, what do the students think, what does industry really want, and how can everyone work together to improve the OO knowledge in industry's prospective employees? Everyone is invited to join in on what is quite likely to become a very lively discussion. Moderator: Mary Lynn Manns, University of North Carolina at Asheville
