Abstract:

No matter what future we may envision, it relies on software that has not yet been written. Even now, software-intensive systems have woven themselves into the interstitial spaces of civilization, and we as individuals and as a species have slowly surrendered ourselves to computing. Looking back, we can identify several major and distinct styles whereby we have built such systems. We have come a long way, and even today, we certainly can name a number of best practices for software development that yield systems of quality. However, by no means can we stand still: the nature of the systems we build continues to change, and as they collectively weave themselves into our live, we must attend not only to the technical elements of software development, we must also attend to human needs. In this presentation we will look at the history of software engineering and offer some grand challenges for the future.

Biography:

Grady Booch is Chief Scientist for Software Engineering at IBM Research where he is currently engaged in the architecting of cognitive systems encompassing both IBM’s Watson as well as non-von Neumann platforms. Grady is also developing a major transmedia documentary for public broadcast on the intersection of computing and the human experience. Booch is an IBM Fellow, an ACM Fellow, an IEEE Fellow, and on behalf of the BCS has been awarded the Lovelace Medal and given the Turing Lecture. Author of six books, Grady wrote the long-running column “On Architecture” and now writes “On Computing” for IEEE Software; over his career he has published hundreds of technical articles and has lectured and consulted around the world. Co-author of the Unified Modeling Language, Grady has helped with the architecture of complex software-intensive systems in most every domain imaginable.
