Abstract

Software systems form the foundation of modern information society and many of those systems are among the most complex things ever created by man. The quotation that follows is from the 1999 President’s Information Technology Advisory Committee Report, but is as valid today as it was then: Our ability to construct…needed software systems and our ability to analyze and predict the performance of the enormously complex software systems that lie at the core of our economy are painfully inadequate. We are neither training enough professionals to supply the needed software, nor adequately improving the efficiency and quality of our construction methods.
