【講演概要】Tracing its origins back to 1946, this year marks the Computer Society's 75th anniversary. Dr. Forrest Shull, President of the IEEE Computer Society, will share plans for the Society's anniversary celebration, and present information about the Society's technical activities. He also reflects on his own research, focused on recent developments that are increasing the speed with which software-enabled capabilities can be engineered and deployed into operation. These innovations have substantial impacts on software technologies, policies, and workforce – the same cross-cutting dimensions in which the Computer Society works for many technical communities. Dr. Shull welcomes the opportunity to address the IPSJ National Congress, and looks forward to the continued success of our joint activities, which benefit computing professionals worldwide.
【略歴】Dr. Forrest Shull is Lead for Defense Software Acquisition Policy Research at Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute (SEI). His role is to lead work with the U.S. Department of Defense, other government agencies, national labs, industry, and academic institutions to advance the use of empirically grounded information to inform policies related to software engineering. Currently, he is providing technical leadership to the DoD in support of important initiatives to improve software acquisition, culminating in the development of the Department’s first software-specific acquisition policy.
He has been a lead researcher on projects for the U.S. DoD, NASA’s Office of Safety and Mission Assurance (OSMA), the NASA Safety Center, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the National Science Foundation, and commercial companies. He is the author of over 100 peer-reviewed publications and co-editor of the Guide to Advanced Empirical Software Engineering.
He is President of the IEEE Computer Society, the world’s leading membership organization dedicated to computer science and technology.
