ASM 2002: Show Me the Measurement

For more than a decade, ASM has been the world’s leading software measurement event. It’s set the standard for exploring how a movement toward accurate metrics can improve the development process and yield project success. Offering valuable insight from software professionals who have successfully used measurement to improve project productivity, ASM 2002 will continue to build on its past success.

The conference features real-world information that combines the measurement experiences of leading software organizations with practical insight from international experts. More than two-thirds of the conference content is made up of the strategies, challenges, and achievements of real software projects and professionals.

Metrics to Improve Software Performance
Software measurement provides the insight into managing software. It’s what allows you to improve your development process and project success. ASM 2002 provides you with a high volume of practical and current measurement information that sheds light on your software efforts. In other words, it covers the techniques you need to gather quantitative data on your products, processes, and projects.

Who Should Attend

• Software managers, development managers, and CIOs who need to increase quantitative control
• Software engineers and developers seeking objective data about their projects and organizations
• Practitioners who want to implement a software measurement program
• Experienced metrics specialists and systems analysts who want to keep up with the latest advances

FROM THE CONFERENCE CHAIR The challenges of software measurement never dwindle; they only change. Keeping up with those changes is a lot to handle. That’s why I’ve been attending the ASM conference since 1991. This conference brings together new ideas and examples of what works — and explains how to implement them — enabling you to do your job as a measurer or manager. Together with the Software Management conference, ASM provides a unique opportunity to stay on the leading edge of practical software measurement applied to software management. I know you’ll learn a great deal at this event, and I look forward to seeing you in Anaheim. Sincerely, Ed Weller Software Technology Transition Edward F. Weller is a consultant for Software Technology Transition and provides training in software process improvement, metrics, and inspections processes. He has more than 30 years’ experience in hardware, software, systems, and test engineering. He received the IEEE Software “Best Article of the Year” award for his September 1993 “Lessons From Three Years of Inspection Data.” Ed has been the program chair for the Applications of Software Measurement conference in: 1996, 1999, 2000, 2001, and again in 2002.

Co-Located with the Software Management Conference (SM 2002)
The side-by-side delivery of these two powerful conferences — ASM 2002 and SM 2002 — covers the breadth of software management along with vital measurement activities to assess and improve results. Both conferences feature real-world coverage of the management and measurement experiences of leading software organizations. And your registration allows you to attend sessions from both conferences — resulting in even more valuable information!
