"...I posit that architecture offers clear benefits in [the mobile computing] domain. In support of this argument, I will overview the state-of-the-art in the area of mobile computing, with a specific focus on the role software architecture should and actually does play in this domain. I will highlight the characteristics of software architectures as well as specific architecture-based approaches that make them particularly suitable to developing mobile systems. I will then present a comprehensive framework targeted at architecture-based system deployment and mobility."

Director Nenad Medvidovic selected to chair ICSE and appointed as Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
February 18, 2010
From the ICSE website: "The International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) is the premier software engineering conference, providing a forum for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences and concerns in the field of software engineering."
From the IEEE TSE website: " IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (TSE) is an archival journal published bimonthly. We are interested in well-defined theoretical results and empirical studies that have potential impact on the construction, analysis, or management of software. The scope of this Transactions ranges from the mechanisms through the development of principles to the application of those principles to specific environments."

Director Emeritus Barry Boehm to be awarded the 2010 IEEE Simon Ramo Medal
February 2, 2010
Excerpts from the press release:
"Dr. Boehm plans to contribute his full honorarium to the research of his Viterbi School Ph.D. students, whose grants are often depleted before their work is done."
"The Ramo Medal is named in honor of the distinguished engineering contributions of Dr. Simon Ramo, former Vice Chairman of the Board and Chairman of the Executive Committee of TRW, Inc. Ramo and his wife, Virginia ’37, were founding co-chairs of the Board of Overseers of the Keck School of Medicine of USC as well as co-recipients of the 2002 USC Presidential Medallion. Ramo also holds a Presidential chair at USC." |

NAE President Sets High Goal for Viterbi School's CSSE
October 30, 2006
“I applaud this new organization,” said NAE President William Wulf, and declared that its expertise make the CSSE uniquely qualified to embark on a striking task: no less than a revised paradigm of engineering method. “We may need to rethink a lot of our assumptions,” said Wulf, “And I think CSSE is a perfect place to rethink them.” |

Library
Gives Real-World Challenges to Student Software Designers
by Eric Mankin
A
collaboration between the computer science department and
University Libraries has put students to work on real, state-of-the-art
software challenges with extraordinarily successful resuts.
In
one case, the work done by the students in the graduate-level
software engineering class of computer science professor
Barry Boehm will almost certainly go into service at the
library later this year. And the work done on others will
be a boon to libra ry fund raisers in coming months. |

Inspector
SCRover
The Inspector SCRover (Southern California Rover) is a public
safety robot being developed for the University of Southern
California (USC), Department of Public Safety (DPS). Inspector
SCRover shall enable the DPS to verify threats, involving
suspicious materials, without a risk to human life. DPS
shall send the Inspector SCRover in areas where suspicious
materials may be present. Inspector SCRover shall enter
the areas where hazardous materials are suspected to be
present and return images of the surrounding environment.
The USC DPS personnel shall analyze these images and determine
if the materials pose a real threat to the environment,
and shall act accordingly. DPS has approached the USC’s
Center for Software Engineering (USC CSE) with a proposal
to develop the Inspector SCRover. The Center of Software
Engineering has decided to use the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s
(JPL’s), Mission Data Systems (MDS) framework to develop
this application. The MDS framework is a reusable mobile
rover development software that NASA-JPL is going to use
in their Rocky 7 rover to be sent to Mars in the year 2009.
CSE shall be the first organization to test the reusability
of this framework.
