Dear , Thank you for your submission to ICSE 2001. The program committee met on November 11-12 and considered the 256 submitted papers. We are sorry to inform you that we could not accept your paper Title: for inclusion in the conference program. The overall quality of the submissions this year was very high, and the Program Committee had a difficult time selecting from among the many high caliber papers. We hope that you plan to attend the conference, which will be held May 12-19 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We enclose a set of reviews of your paper. Sincerely, Mary Jean Harrold and Wilhelm Schafer Program Committee Co-Chairs ICSE 2001
