Austin, Tx - BigLever Software CEO, Dr. Charles Krueger, has been invited to co-chair the program committee for the 8th International Conference on Software Reuse in Madrid, Spain July 5-9, 2004. Dr Krueger and co-chair Jan Bosch selected the theme for the conference to be "Software Variability Management for Reusable Software". The theme for this eighth meeting of the premier international conference on software reuse is the management of software variability for reusable software. All reusable software operates in multiple contexts and has to accommodate the differences between these contexts through variation. In modern software, the number of variation points may range in the thousands with an even larger number of dependencies between these points. Topics addressing the theme include the representation, design, assessment and evolution of software variability.
