                   Final Call for Papers

The Program Committee of XP2000:

Giuliano Armano, Massimo Arnoldi, Kent Beck, Luigi Benedicenti, Antonio
Corradi, Ward Cunningham, Richard Drake, Stephane Ducasse, Jutta
Eckstein, John Favaro, Martin Fowler, Arrigo Frisiani, Peter Gassmann,
Ron Jeffries, Ralph E. Johnson, George L. Kovacs, Manfred Lange, Michele

Marchesi, Robert Martin, Greg McAvoy, Gord Paynter, Joseph Pelrine,

invites you to participate in this meeting of software development
researchers, professionals, educators, managers, and students. The
conference brings together people from industry and academia to share
experiences and ideas and to provide an archival source for important
papers on flexible process-related topics. The conference is also meant
to provide information and education to practitioners, to identify
directions for further research, and to be an ongoing platform for
technology transfer.

******************************************************
The Proceedings will be published by Addison Wesley!!!
******************************************************

eXtreme Programming, a light-weight software development methodology,
and other flexible processes have recently emerged as alternative
approaches to the typically heavier approaches currently advocated by
many software engineering organizations.  Organizations have reported
important successes, yet there is a need to more formally communicate
and understand the values and best practices common to flexible
processes. The conference will consist of technical presentations,
plenary sessions, and tutorials.

CONFERENCE TOPICS
The conference will stress practical applications and implications of
eXtreme Programming and other lightweight methodologies.

* Case studies and experiments
* Empirical support for flexible processes
* Education and training
* Organizational issues
* Requirements gathering with user stories
* Incremental and iterative design
* Pair programming
* Unit and functional testing
* Scalability issues
* Relation to reuse
* Process patterns
* Relation to UML and the Unified Process
* Relation to the CMM
* CASE tools for flexible processes
* Refactoring and continuous integration
* Other issues on flexible processes

INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
Papers must be original and not under consideration for publication
elsewhere. Authors must clearly explain the contribution of the work in
terms of its theoretical and/or practical value and relationship to
previous work. Submissions must be full papers of about 10 pages, or
extended abstracts of about 4 pages, 12pt, single-spaced, in English.
Each submission must include an abstract and a list of keywords. Panel
proposals must include the moderator's name, an abstract, and the list
of panelists that have consented to participate. Accepted papers and
panel positions will appear in the conference proceedings. All
submissions should be sent in Postscript, or PDF format to the Program

More like anorexic and soft-spotted.

Down with formalized hackery!

Grow up and get over yourself, Elliot.  Your petty comments only make
you look bad.
