About the Speakers
IEEE Software is proud to bring you these software professionals:
Moderator
Forrest Shull is editor in chief of IEEE Software and originator of the magazine's Voice of Evidence column. He's also a senior scientist at the Fraunhofer Center for Experimental Software Engineering in Maryland, a nonprofit research and tech transfer organization, where he leads the Measurement and Knowledge Management Division. His work has focused on software inspections and the role that human intelligence plays in effective defect detection, as well as how to best evaluate the practical utility of software and systems development practices. He has been a lead researcher on projects for NASA's Office of Safety and Mission Assurance, the NASA Safety Center, the US Department of Defense, DARPA, the National Science Foundation, and companies such as Motorola and Fujitsu Labs of America. He is an associate adjunct professor at the University of Maryland College Park.
Keynotes
Software Security and the Building Security In Maturity Model (BSIMM)
Gary McGraw is the CTO of Cigital, a software security consulting firm with headquarters in the Washington, D.C. area. He is a globally recognized authority on software security and the author of eight best-selling books, including Java Security, Building Secure Software, Exploiting Software, Software Security, and Exploiting Online Games. He also edits the Addison-Wesley Software Security series and writes a monthly security column for InformIT. Besides serving as a strategic counselor for top business and IT executives, Gary is on the advisory boards of Fortify Software (acquired by HP), Invincea, and Raven White. His dual PhD is in cognitive science and computer science from Indiana University, where he serves on the Dean's Advisory Council for the School of Informatics. Gary served on the IEEE Computer Society Board of Governors and produces the monthly Silver Bullet Security Podcast for IEEE Security & Privacy magazine (syndicated by InformIT). He also cowrote one of IEEE Software's 25th-anniversary "top picks" articles: "Attacking Malicious Code: A Report to the Infosec Research Council."
Everything You Know Is Wrong!
Grady Booch served as chief scientist of Rational Software Corp. from its founding in 1981 until it became a part of IBM, and is now an IBM Fellow. He is one of the original authors of the Unified Modeling Language and was also one of the original developers of several Rational products. Grady has served as architect and architectural mentor for numerous complex, software-intensive projects around the world in several different domains. He has six books, including the UML Users Guide and Object-Oriented Analysis with Applications. He's published several hundred articles on software engineering, including papers published in the early 1980s that originated the term and practice of object-oriented design.
