Chair's Message

 








Hausi A. Müller, PhD, PEng
TCSE Chair
University of Victoria

The IEEE Computer Society’s Technical Council
on Software Engineering (TCSE) serves a valuable
role in the international software engineering community for researchers and professionals.
Key priorities of TCSE include strong support
for its publications, conferences, and workshops; leadership in software engineering education
and international outreach; an active role in
public policy issues; and good relations with
other software engineering societies and
regional associations. Two important trends dominate the computing world in the new millennium. First, many companies are moving
from a goods-centric way to a service-centric
way of conducting business.

Second, with the proliferation of computing
devices and enterprise systems, software systems have evolved from software intensive systems to systems of systems, and now to ultra-large-scale systems and socio-technical ecosystems. As
many similar organizations, TCSE is challenged
with membership retention. Thus, it is critical
for TCSE’s long-term growth of audience, scope
and outreach to embrace the true interdisciplinary nature of software-intensive, socio-technical ecosystems. TCSE is ready to work with, actively engage and support its membership, volunteers, conferences and workshops to address the challenges, opportunities and risks of this interdisciplinary, service-centric software
world.

We're not that much smarter than we used to be, even though we have much more information - and that means the real skill now is learning how to pick out the useful information from all this noise. Nate Silver...

“We are here to support the members of IEEE and the very special needs of women,” says IEEE Member Pamela Jones, the IEEE Computer Society’s representative to WIE. “We all strive to be excellent engineers, regardless of gender. We can assist women in achieving their goals—technical and nontechnical—by listening to what they want.” Jones is a lead software engineer with Northrop Grumman in Linthicum, Md.
