TOPIC:       Recent Advances in Knowledge-based Process (Re)engineering

SPEAKER:     Prof. Walt Scacchi
             University of Southern California and ATRIUM Laboratory

DATE:        18 September 1996 (Wednesday night)

TIME:        The talk will begin at 7:30.

PLACE:       Loyola Marymount University, Pereira Hall 27.
             LMU is located at Loyola Blvd. and 80th Street in
             Westchester. From the 405, take the Manchester exit
             and proceed west to Loyola Blvd.  Turn north, and

ABSTRACT:    The subject of this talk is the (re)engineering of complex
             processes using knowledge-based tools, techniques and 
             concepts. Dr. Scacchi has had experience with processes 
             for large-scale software/IS development, military procurement, 
             corporate finance, federal research grants management, and
             interactive teleradiology consultation. Significant results  
             have been achieved in cost reduction, process optimization, 
             quality improvement, new product development, etc. 

BIOGRAPHY:   WALT SCACCHI  has a Ph.D. in Computer Science from UCI (1981).
             He is a USC associate research professor in the Information &
             Operations Management Dept., and Director of the ATRIUM lab.
             His research interests include knowledge-based systems for
             (re)engineering software development and other business 
             processes, CASE technologies for developing large heterogeneous
             information systems, and analysis of system development projects.
             He has over 80 research publications and is a member of ACM,
             IEEE, and AAAI. He has held consulting and visiting scientist
             posts at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Microelectronics and Computer
             Technology Corporation (MCC), Software Engineering Institute at 
             Carnegie-Mellon, SUN Microsystems, Perceptronics, Hewlett-Packard,
             and Anderson Consulting. For further information see the ATRIUM
