SSE Distinguished Service Professor Larry Bernstein a Keynote Speaker at First International Workshop on Software Aging and Rejuvenation (WoSAR)

SSE Distinguished Service Professor Larry Bernstein will be a keynote speaker at the first International Workshop on Software Aging and Rejuvenation (WoSAR) in conjunction with the 19th IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2008). The event will be held November 11-14, 2008 in Seattle/Redmond, WA. After more than ten years of research work in software aging and rejuvenation, this is the first International event to bring together researchers and practitioners involved with the theoretical and experimental aspects of software aging and rejuvenation. As a satellite event of the premier symposium, ISRRE 2008, this workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the state of the art and the new challenges in software aging and rejuvenation research, as well as providing a unique opportunity for establishing collaborations among several research groups interested in this research field.
Professor Bernstein will be speaking on “Historical perspectives on software rejuvenation:”
Distributed and mobile computing breaks down physical barriers. Virtual offices are wherever people are, and databases stretch around the world. Lawyers carry entire legal libraries into court in a 2 pound PC. Express delivery drivers update their corporate databases when a recipient signs a handheld device. Water meters are read as trucks drive through neighborhoods. Tolls are paid as cars drive through toll booths. Reliable computers are an essential foundation this new way of life. Hardware and network elements are reasonably reliable, but now the software must be demonstrably so. This need is not new. That reliable software is critical is not a new idea. Insights from the 1960s led to software rejuvenation research and use by the 1990s.
