From: owner-ieee-e-notice@ieee.org on behalf of IEEE E-Notice [owner-ieee-e-notice@ieee.org] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 2:11 PM To: j.medina@ieee.org Subject: IEEE Computer Society - Orlando Chapter Title: Trustworthy Software Systems Speaker: Larry Bernstein Distinguished Service Professor School of Systems & Enterprises Stevens Institute of Technology Hoboken, NJ 07030 Date: December 9th, 2008 4:00PM-5:00PM Location: UCF - Engineering III building (Harris Center Bldg.#116) Room 101 (changed, was 105) Abstract: Much software engineering focuses on cost and schedule, especially schedule. My view is that a shift is needed. The software engineer must make judgments or tradeoffs among the features the software provides, the time it will take to produce the software, the cost of producing the software, how easy it is to use and how reliable it is. Too often performance and functional technical requirements become an issue once the software is deployed. Rarely is trustworthiness considered. Not only must software designers consider how the software will perform they must account for consequences of failures. Trustworthiness encompasses this concern. The requirements must encompass the trustworthiness of the emerging system. This talk presents principles of requirements engineering for trustworthy software intensive systems-of- systems. A process for getting to a quantitative and feasible set of software feature requirements is the theme. I call it the SSE Protocol. The approach is to deduce a Measurable Operational Value from a customer prospectus, establish feature sets, set priorities using a simplified quality function deployment approach, validate the feature packages with prototypes, and extending the prototypes to models. The tutorial includes ways to estimate staffing, schedules and reliability and evaluating the resulting product with ICED-T metrics. It is based on my published book, TRUSTWORTHY SYSTEMS THROUGH QUANTITATIVE SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, Wiley-IEEE Computer Society Press; September 2005; 0-471-69691-9. Bio: Larry Bernstein is the Distinguished Service Professor of Software Engineering in the School of Systems and Enterprises at Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ. He wrote "Trustworthy Systems Through Quantitative Software Engineering," with C.M. Yuhas, Wiley, 2005, ISBN 0-471-69691-9 He is a Fellow of the IEEE and the Association for Computing Machinery for innovative software leadership. He is an active speaker on Trustworthy Software in the IEEE Computer Society DVP program. He completed consulting assignments for companies in the area of software process improvement, is an expert witness in arbitration cases He had a 35-year distinguished career at Bell Laboratories in managing large software projects and since retirement heads his own consulting firm. At Bell Labs he became a Chief Technical Officer of the Operations Systems Business Unit and an Executive Director Mr. Bernstein has eight software patents, given more than 100 talks, published two books and has written more than 50 articles on software engineering. The IEEE selected two of his articles for inclusion in best paper compendiums. He is an editor and reviewer for ACM's Computing Reviews. He conceived of the notion of software rejuvenation, encouraged worked on studying the dynamic behavior of software, applied and extended software management techniques in the 1960s and led the work on adopting intermediate level languages in support of military software development. He led the development of store and forward message switching software stabilizing a system that was out of control and about to be cancelled. He saw the need for advances in database management when he was project manager of a large database system. The inventions that developed from this work laid the foundation for a system that manages 100 million accounts of telephone company customers. His work on project management reviews is taught at universities. Recently he has pioneered the use of live through' case histories in the successful education of the principles of Software Engineering. ================================================================================ You have received this mailing because you are a member of IEEE and/or one of the IEEE Technical Societies.
