     The next meeting of the Adelaide LUG will be held on Wednesday the 
     25th of July 1990 at 8:00pm at Australian Mineral Foundation, 
     Conygham Street, Glenside.
     
     This is a combined DECUS LUG and ACS Leading Edge Meeting.  There 
     will not be the usual pre-meeting dinner due to the combined 
     meeting.
     
     Mr Gordon Brimble, (DSTO and DECUS SPR Chairman) will be speaking on 
     "Programmer Productivity - A Case for CASE?".
     
     Over the past 20 years many Techniques have been touted as the 
     solution to "Programmer Productivity Problems", defined as the 
     number of lines coded per day.  They have had very little impact on 
     this metric.  The most recent fashion is Computer Aided Software 
     Engineering (CASE).  What is software engineering about, Computer 
     Aided or Not?   Is this the panacea?  Is "Programmer Productivity" a 
     useful parameter at all?
     
     This presentation will consider the problems facing programmers and 
     system designers in order to obtain some insight into the causes of 
     the productivity problem.   The aims and methods of software 
     engineering will be examined in the context of large projects.   The 
     impact of CASE on these problems will be discussed, and some 
     conclusions made on the likely effect of CASE on programmer 
     productivity.
     
     Illustrations will be given from large defence projects.
