New paper led by Matthew Ivory. With Miriam Sturdee, Mark Levine & @basharnuseibeh.bsky.social. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/.... We replicate & extend Brun et al.,'s innovative work on cognitive blindspots in programming, apply a dual systems framework, & model sample sizes for effects of interest.

🌟 Great sessions & engaging workshops at the November SyMeCo Autumn School @lero-centre.bsky.social @unioflimerick.bsky.social 🌟Prof @basharnuseibeh.bsky.social delivered an amazing keynote "Context 2.0: Software for a better society"🌟 @researchireland.ie ireland.ie @horizoneu.bsky.social

There are few things in life that I hate more than listening to my own voice, but I was lucky to share this keynote session with MIT’s Michael Cusumano, so this reposting is for him. Please stop listening at minute 47!

The most fulfilling part of receiving the Harlan D Mills award at #icse2025 yesterday was the opportunity to acknowledge my collaborators over many years. And the most enjoyable part was celebrating with lovely colleagues. Very grateful to IEEE Computer Society for the honour @icseconf.bsky.social

The only way for errors to occur in a program is by being put there by the author. No other mechanisms are known. - Harlan Mills

Celebrate IEEE TSE 50th anniversary at #icse2025 in Ottawa. Join TSE editor Sebastian Uchitel and former editors as they discuss the history of SE through the lens of the EiCs, and the challenges facing SE and journals. conf.researchr.org/info/icse-20... (2 days until early reg date Feb 18th)

A wise man… 😜 No regrets…

The program features two exciting *keynotes*: Jane Cleland-Huang: Smart Swarms, Smarter Boundaries: Rethinking Decision Assurance in Autonomous Systems @basharnuseibeh.bsky.social: Software Adaptation is Easy, Social Adaptation is Hard 👉 conf.researchr.org/info/seams-2...

An aphorism… (?)

- Two exciting keynotes (tentative titles) - Jane Cleland-Huang: Cognitive Guardrails for on-the-fly Decision-Making in Next-Gen Drone Swarms - @basharnuseibeh.bsky.social: Software adaptation is easy, social adaptation is hard

Fred Brooks: “The hardest single part of building a software system is deciding precisely what to build; the most important function that software builders do for their clients is the iterative extraction & refinement of the product requirements” Requirements engineering is where LLMs need to play?

Our open access textbook on an “Introduction to Digital Humanism“ has just reached 500,000 downloads since it was published in January 2024! It’s open access, so you can download it for free at the link below. #DigitalHumanism #ResponsibleSoftwareEngineering link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

My favourite software engineering maxim is: “software without requirements can never be incorrect, only surprising“

I’m attending an NSF workshop in Virginia on ‘designing accountable software systems’. I’m surrounded by bright, articulate US professors drawn from many disciplines: engineering, law, business & social sciences. All to whom I have spoken are horrified, nervous, depressed, resigned by what may come.

A very helpful thread, with some useful references, if you are new to blue sky and wondering about investing time on it.. thank you for posting it Wolfie ..

I’m here and there…

I wrote this short piece on the changing nature of software engineering. I'd welcome your comments & feedback. #softwareWithoutBoundaries #responsibleSoftwareEngineering www.linkedin.com/pulse/softwa...
