ISSRE2001::The 12th International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering

Panel 1:

Everything You Wanted to Know About Software Reliability Engineering But Didn't Know Who to Ask

[ About the Speaker s ] [ Abstract ]

About the Speakers:

The panelists have been selected to make available wide and extensive experience in the field:

John D. Musa, a consultant in SRE, is one of the creators of the field and is widely recognized as a leader in reducing SRE to practice. His many contributions include two models, and the concept and application of the operational profile. Musa has written two seminal books and published more than 100 articles and papers. He is a Fellow of the IEEE.

Bill Everett is currently a consultant and owner of SPRE, Inc., a company providing consulting services in SRE. He is the current chair of the IEEE Committee on SRE. He has contributed over 25 papers, talks, articles, and book chapters on software reliability. He was the team leader in defining a practice for Software Reliability Engineering within AT&T.

Karama Kanoun is currently Directeur de Recherche at CNRS. She has authored more than ninety papers in modeling and evaluation of computer system dependability (hardware and software). She has consulted for several companies. She served as Program Co-Chair of ISSRE'94, General Chair of ISSRE'95, and held leading positions in several other conferences. She is Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Reliability.

Roy Ko is a principal consultant with the Information Technology Division of the Hong Kong Productivity Council, responsible for providing consulting in software process improvement and quality assurance. Mr. Ko developed a Software Quality Assurance Model for Hong Kong to help software organizations develop quality software. He is a founding member and the current chairman of the Hong Kong Software Process Improvement Network.

Norman F. Schneidewind is Professor of Information Sciences and Director of the Software Metrics Research Center at the Naval Postgraduate School, where he teaches and performs research in software engineering and computer networks. A Fellow of the IEEE, he developed the Schneidewind software reliability model. He has published extensively in software reliability and metrics and is widely recognized for his work in software engineering standards.

Mladen A. Vouk is Professor of Computer Science at the N.C. State University,. Dr. Vouk has extensive experience in commercial software production and academic computing. He is the author of over 150 publications. His teaches courses and pursues research and development in software testing and reliability, among several interests. Dr. Vouk is an IEEE Fellow. He is an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Reliability.

Abstract:

The fifth year of this popular panel provides the audience with the chance to ask any question in the area of software reliability engineering (SRE). Examples include benefits you can expect, problems in applying, or research questions. There will be no presentations, only questions and responses.
