Topic:    A Model for Evaluating CASE Tools

Speaker:  Dr. Eric Bush


Date:     Tuesday, October 27, 1992 - 7:00 pm

Place:	  Continental Resources / CTA Building
	  175 Middlesex Turnpike
	  Bedford, MA


The speaker will present a unified model of CASE tool capabilities, called The 
Big Picture, which can be used to consistently represent the functionality of 
any commercially available tool.  The model consists of a set of 3-D pictures 
for graphically portraying tool architecture, together with a set of 11 criteria 
for evaluating those architectures.  Examples of comparisons between Intersolv, 
Texas Instruments, Oracle, KnowledgeWare, S-Cubed, and Bachman will be used to
illustrate the application of the criteria.

and is now widely regarded as the father of re-engineering for his 
contributions to the field during that period.  He is an internationally known
