Mar 03Tomorrow (Thursday) noon EDT: ACM talk on requirements
In the software engineering family requirements engineering is in my experience the poor cousin, lagging behind the progress of other parts (such as design). I have been devoting attention to the topic in recent months and am completing a book on the topic. Tomorrow (Thursday), I will be covering some of the material in a […]

2020, Mar 26Getting a program right, in nine episodes
About this article: it originated as a series of posts on the Communications of the ACM blog. I normally repost such articles here.
