ABSTRACT of Presentation
Over the past decade software architecture has received increasing attention as an important subfield of software engineering. During that time there has been considerable progress in developing the technological and methodological base for treating architectural design as an engineering discipline. However, much remains to be done to achieve that goal. Moreover, the changing face of technology raises a number of new challenges for software architecture. This talk examines some of the important developments in software architecture in both research and practice, and speculates on the important emerging trends, challenges, and problems.
Speaker Bio:
David Garlan is a Professor of Computer Science and Director of Professional Programs in Software Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. His research interests include software architecture, self-healing systems, applied formal methods, and software development environments. Professor Garlan received his Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon in 1987, and then worked in industry as a software architect, developing product lines for instrumentation software. He is considered one of the founders of the field of software architecture, and has been instrumental in creating foundations, languages, and tools for software architecture over the past fifteen years. He has written dozens of articles on Software Architecture and has co-authored two influential books: Software Architecture: Perspectives on an Emerging Discipline, (with Mary Shaw) and Documenting Software Architectures: Views and Beyond (which won a Jolt Productivity Award in 2003). He is an Associate Editor for the Journal on Software Systems and Modeling, and a past Editor for the ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology. He has given numerous short courses on Software Architecture in industry, including Boeing, General Motors, Motorola, the SEI CIO Institute, and Federal Express.
