the paper

• form = perspective
• content = area of interest

the question is how to reconcile

form and content

perspectives

• Review/Background -- sketch perspectives, history, viewpoints
• Case Study -- analyse assumptions, gather empirical data, and explain!
• Technical Analysis -- technology-oriented, work out the details
• Formal Study -- clarify in a formal manner, conceptualize and formalize
• Tutorial -- explain for the laymen, but do it very good

areas of interest

• Software Development -- methods, approaches, modeling techniques
• Architecture --DOT/CORBA, component-technology, 'patterns
• Foundations -- concepts, ideas, formalizations, methods
• Frameworks -- business objects, services and facilities

form vs content
