T he vision of ICSE is to become a premiere research and development organization known internationally for its unique strength in well focused areas of software engineering. An ISDN based telecommunication network is currently running to connect various Unix machines and NT servers in a WAN setting. ISL can advise its business and industrial partners through concept validation, product trial, prototype construction and on-site consulting. ISL is ready to assist our industry and business colleagues in making more intelligent decisions. This laboratory maintains the latest models of workstations and PCs in a network employing mixed networking strategies including Microsoft NT, Novell Netware, and Lotus Notes.
Multimedia is among the latest development trends in computer and communication technologies.
Companies interested in commercializing some of our prototypes are particularly welcome to participate in the development effort. The ICSE director, Carl K. Chang, oversees all center operations and is primarily responsible for contract negotiations, service provisions, and technology transfer. Having been an active member on numerous program committees for many years, he now serves on the Steering Committee and Conference Committee for the 1996 IEEE International Conference on Requirements Engineering as the general chair. He has published more than seventy papers in conferences and journals. Chang is well recognized as a researcher who understands real-world problems and practices.
