conferc !7 ilil The 13th IEEE International Conference on Automated Software Engineering October 13 to 16,1998 Honolulu, HI When I returned from ASE-98 this year, I assured everyone that although I'd just spent a week in Hawaii, it had rained every day and I hadn't noticed. "Must have been some conference!" was the normal response. Yeah, some conference. The ASE conference is held in different exotic locations each year, such as Lake Tahoe, Monterey, Honolulu, Cocoa Beach...and Syracuse. This conference brings together researchers and practitioners to share ideas on the foundations, techniques, tools and applications of automated software engineering technology. Both automatic systems and systems that support and cooperate with people are within the scope of the conference, as are computational models of human software engineering activities. The conference began in 1985 as a meeting of contractors in the Rome (N.Y.) Lab (then the Rome Air Development Center) funding initiative known as KBSA (KnowledgeBased Software Assistant). In the 13 years hence, the meeting has grown in size and scope to include an international community of researchers in a variety of areas which can be broadly defined as applying artificial intelligence and automation techniques to the problems of software
