I went to the European Software Engineering Conference (ESEC'99) in Toulouse upon an invitation from Prof. Anthony Finkelstein. This journey was a follow up to some work I did in the summer as a Research Assistant at UCL.

One of the goals in going to ESEC was to get a broader overview of the topics available for my PhD studies beginning next year. I thus went to most of the talks and used the occasion to have a chat with some of the international audience present.

In between the talks there was also some time for me to demonstrate the working prototype of our BOX (Browsing Objects in UML) tool to interested people and get their feedback.
