Preconference TutorialsMonday, October 28, 1985

8:00 - 8:30 am Registration8:30-12:00 am Morning Paraflel Session!ISession-1 ERMode0ng: A tool for Analysis and Design

Instructor: Leslie H-azelton, IBMi~*K#u~l. CL trCourse Description: Participants will be introduced to the ER Modeling Approach. Topics to be discussed

include: Why has the ER approach succeeded while previous design documentation techniqueshave not?For example, ER Diagrams will be contrasted with Data Flow diagram techniques. How do you collect ERinformation? ER analysis techniques will be contrasted with BSP techniques.

Session IB: Artifidal Intelligence and Expert Systerns3LNr~ t$A. Instructor: George Otto, AT&T Bell Labs

Course Descriptdon: Artficial Intelligence has been developing as a field for the last 30 years. Duringthat time numerous additions have been made to enable computers to appear intelligent, but few of theresulting approaches were both significant and cost effective. Recentiy, one branch of Artificial Intel-ligence, Expert Systems, has begun attracting the attention of Industry because it offers increasedquality and reduced cost in numerous applications. Dr. Otto's presentation will cover both ArtificialIntelligence in general and Expert Systems in particular.

1:30-5:00 pm Afternoon Parallel Session 11MubMOdd Session IIA. The Analyst's Round Table

Instructor: Rodney P ZimmermanCourse Description: "How can you introduce the ER approach into your Organization?" is the subject

18A of this tutorial. Specific topics include: (1) Role of the ER approach in planning, systems analysis andtool building. (2) How do project teams perform analysis? Do teams operate much differentiy duringanalysis than during programming? If so, how do these differences effect the needs for management,training, motivation, and automated tools to support the ER approach?

Session IIB: Database DesignInstructor: C. R. Carlson, Illinois Institute of TechnologyCourse Description: The goal of database design is to organize databases for effective processing.Usually the Complexity in size of the problem make it a difficult task A database design methodologywill be presented which subdivides the design process into) small, vwell-defined and easily performedsteps. Participation will be provided with the concepts and techniques needed to perform each step.What each technique does, and does not. accomplish will also be discussed.
