                    "Advancing the Standard"

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has rapidly become the 
"lingua-franca" of the software design community, both in industry 
and academia. The <<UML>> series of conferences has grown to be the 
premier venue for exchange of innovative technical ideas and experiences 
relating to UML. The conference includes, among its active 
participants, the originators of UML and other key individuals 
involved in the definition and evolution of the standard.

<<UML>>2000 takes place just as work on the next version of UML (2.0) 
begins and will have a strong bearing on the standard. It will 
provide a forum for lively and exciting debate on key issues of 
the moment. The conference will be held in York, one of the oldest 
and most beautiful cities in England.

It is with great pleasure that the <<UML>>2000 organising 
committee invites authors to submit:

Research Papers: describing innovative research on any aspect of 
modeling, including, but not limited to, notations, automated 
tools, foundations, processes, architectures and patterns. Given 
the timeliness of the conference, papers proposing simplifications,
clarifications, extensions and modifications to UML are strongly 
encouraged. All papers should clearly demonstrate their relationship 
to UML.

Experience Papers: detailing experience of significant industrial 
applications of UML and related modeling techniques, including, 
but not limited to, applications in real-time/embedded systems, 
information systems, software development, business modelling and
knowledge representation.

Proposals for Advanced Tutorials: all advanced topics relating to
the conference are potential candidates for tutorials. The sole 
requirement for proposals is that topics be of interest to advanced 
practitioners and researchers.   

Proposals for Advanced Workshops: workshops addressing a particular 
sub-area of UML in depth, that aim to investigate the relationship 
of UML with other areas of computer science, or which focus on
the application of UML are all appropriate candidates for workshops.

Full guidelines for writing and submitting workshop and tutorial proposals 
are available at the conference website.

Steve Cook (IBM)
Cris Kobryn (EDS)
Ivar Jacobson (Rational Software)

York:

The City of York is world famous for its historic buildings and tourist 
attractions, and is located at the heart of Yorkshire, one of the most 
scenic counties of England. York's many attractions include the famous 
York Minster, the York Races, many fascinating museums including the
National Railway Museum (where the main conference dinner is to be held),
real Yorkshire ales, traditional shops and good food. 
Access to local beauty spots, such as the Yorkshire Moors and the East 
Coast resorts of Scarborough and Robin Hoods Bay (among many others) is 
easy via local transport connections. There is a frequent, direct 
train service from Manchester Airport.

Venue: 

The conference will be held at the historic Royal York Hotel, 
situated next to York Railway Station. The Royal York Hotel is a classic 
Victorian Railway Hotel, built in 1878 to accommodate the aristocracy of 
Northern England. The hotel is close to the centre of York and has views 
towards the world famous York Minster.
