Prof. Leon J. Osterweil is a Professor in the Department. of Computer
Science, University. of Massachusetts Amherst. He is a Fellow of the
ACM, has been an ACM Lecturer, has served on the editorial board of
IEEE Software and on the board of ACM Transactions on Software Engineering
and Methodology since its inception. His paper suggesting the idea
of process programming was recognized as the Most Influential Paper
of the 9th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 9),
awarded as a 10-year retrospective. Another paper on software tool
integration, presented at ICSE 6, was runner-up for this honor. Prof.
Osterweil was Chair of the Computer Science Department at the University
of Colorado at Boulder, and of the Information and Computer Science
Department of the University of California at Irvine. He was also the
founding director of UCI's Irvine Research Unit in Software. Prof.
Osterweil has been the Program Chair of many conferences, including
ICSE 16. He is a director of the International Software Process Association,
and was General Chair of SIGSOFT's Sixth International Symposium on
the Foundations of Software Engineering. He has been a member of the
Software Engineering Institute's Process Program Advisory Board since
its inception. He is a member of the KLA-Tencor Software Technical
Advisory Board and has been on similar boards for SAIC, MCC, and IBM.
In addition he has consulted for such companies as AT&T, Boeing,
and TRW.
Prof. Osterweil's research has centered on software analysis and
testing, software tool integration, and software processes and process
programming. He has been a Principal Investigator on a number of NSF
and ARPA/DARPA projects over the past 25 years. He was one of the founding
principals of the ARPA-funded Arcadia project, and a co-PI on a DARPA
EDCS contract. He has done research and prototype development of testing
and analysis systems for over 20 years. He was a principal designer
of the DAVE static dataflow analysis system, developed in 1973, and
of the Cecil/Cesar programmable dataflow analysis system in the late
1980's. He was a co-developer of the Odin object management system,
and a principal in the Toolpack project that developed an early integrated
set of tools for numerical software development. He was a leader of
the Appl/A process programming language development activity, and currently
leads the Little-JIL process
programming language project. He has published and presented dozens
of papers on these and other software engineering topics in leading
venues worldwide. He has been a keynote speaker at a number of conferences,
most notably the 9th International Conference on Software Engineering,
Quality Week 96, CASE 92, and the Inaugural Symposium of JAIST, the
Japan Advanced Institute for Software Technology. He is the Chair of
the ACM Impact
Project, and was General Chair of ICSE
2006.
His ICSE 9 paper has been awarded a prize as the most influential
paper of ICSE 9, awarded as a 10-year retrospective. He has consulted
for such organizations as IBM, Bell Laboratories, SAIC, MCC, and TRW,
and is a member of SEI's Process Program Advisory Board. Prof. Osterweil
is a Fellow of the ACM.
