Proposal: Foresight working group on Reliable Computing

from the foresight-needs-you! dept.
Phil Wolff writes ""Software has bugs." We take this for granted. But defects like the blue screen of death in nano-systems are likely to be unacceptable.

Contibute your ideas, knowledge, and experience to an online working group on reliable computing."

Read more for details . . . "Over this next year we'll watch and discuss the state of the art in software

• architectures,
• tools,
• research, and
• practices

leading to systems that are:

• reliable,
• defect-free,
• mission critical, and
• trustworthy.

As a working group, we will:

• discover if, how, and when Unreliable Computing poses a risk to Institute goals, and
• form policy suggestions.

Please email me ([email protected]) to join the working group or share your insights and experience in:

• managing complexity
• software engineering
• systems engineering
• large-project management
• emergent behavior
• risk assessment
• semiconductor design or
• the evolution of nano R&D.
