One important target of the STJA is to push the change and communication between developers, users and scientists. Due to this STJA offers a large variety of tutorials where the newest developments are discussed on the on side. On the other side a program of lectures, which contains contribution from research and Industry/Users. The lectures about applied research are chosen from a lot of lectures from a expert-group using a special test-method - they are marked with a star. Non-marked lectures are about Industry an Users.
To get along with our in the beginning remarked targets of the STJA, we have mixed the lectures instead of dividing them into seperate blocks.
In addition to this there is the First International Symposium on Generative and Component-Based Software Engineering GCSE´99 (this symposium is also surveyed from an expert-group) an one Workshop about multi-media information- and communicationssystems. And at least on the STJA there are of course the habitual exposition of research-prototypes and industrial products.
