Come hear about cutting-edge research in software engineering at the University of Maryland and applied research and technology transfer projects at the Fraunhofer Center Maryland.

This event provides a great opportunity to network with industry and government researchers and computing professionals. Maryland Software Day will feature presentations on innovative research, posters describing ongoing projects, and ample opportunities for informal discussions. Attendees will have a unique chance to peek into the latest software-related research in an interactive and information-rich environment.

The University of Maryland's Computer Science Department is renowned in software engineering and programming languages, with special expertise in many areas, including empirical methods and measurement, program-analysis tools, software design and modeling, software testing and quality assurance, and verification and validation. The Fraunhofer Center, a not-for-profit affiliate of the Computer Science Department, is an applied-research institute that works with government and industry to advance their software practices via software engineering research and technology transfer projects.

Agenda highlights include: 

Keynote Speaker Dr. Victor R. Basili
is Professor of Computer Science at the University of Maryland. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Texas and honorary degrees from the Universities of Sannio (Italy) and Kaiserslautern (Germany). He is founder and former Executive Director of the Fraunhofer Center for Experimental Software Engineering, Maryland and a founder and principal of the Software Engineering Laboratory at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). He works on measuring, evaluating, and improving software development processes and products via mechanisms for observing and evolving knowledge through empirical research. He is a recipient of several awards, including a NASA Group Achievement Award, a NASA/GSFC Productivity Improvement and Quality Enhancement Award, the 1997 Award for Outstanding Achievement in Mathematics and Computer Science by the Washington Academy of Sciences, the 2000 Outstanding Research Award from ACM SIGSOFT and the 2003 Harlan Mills Award from the IEEE Computer Society. Dr. Basili has authored over 200 scientific papers and has served as Editor-in-Chief of several important research journals. He is an IEEE and ACM Fellow.
