He has been using object technologies since 1984 when he started developing knowledge systems on LISP machines. Craig's current focus is on helping developers efficiently learn to apply design patterns and principles for distributed and non-distributed systems development, especially those implemented in Java. This half-day tutorial presents solutions to software reliability analysis and evaluation. The reliability is evaluated based on data collected on the software. The tutorial will focus on the application of trend analysis and reliability growth models to the collected data set.
Emphasis is put on their combined use.
The tutorial is intended for software engineers, managers, researchers and students. The prerequisite is familiarity with software engineering issues and terminology. Experience with software development may be helpful but is not required. Karama Kanoun is Directeur de Recherche at LAAS-CNRS, France.
