Abstract: 
The SEI held a colloquium entitled "Developing Quality Software @Internet 
Speed:  Toward 'Next Generation' Models for Software Process Improvement" on

October 18, 2001.  The colloquium was sponsored by a group from the SEI and 
Georgia Tech that is investigating software engineering in the fast lane. 
New agile methodologies are being presented as the answer to developing 
software quickly.  The participants explored the need for different software

engineering practices, and  if there is really anything new when you look at

the basic principles. 

The presenters will summarize the colloquium discussions and provide 
personal insight on the potential of agile methods.  Active discussion with 
the audience will be encouraged. 

Please post this notice, distribute it broadly, and extend this 
invitation to your colleagues who may be interested in software process 
improvement and software engineering.  We need people who can contribute 
their knowledge, experience, time and ideas to make this SPIN 
successful. 

There will be no charge to attend this presentation.

Process, PSP, SCE, Team Software Process, and TSP are service marks 
of Carnegie Mellon University.
