SESSION CHAIR: MARY SHAW
Session 3: Digital Libraries
SPEAKER BIO:
Her research interests in computer science lie primarily in the areas of
programming systems and software engineering, particularly software
architecture, programming languages, specifications, and abstraction
techniques. Particular areas of interest and projects have included
software architectures (Vitruvius, UniCon), technology transition (SEI),
program organization for quality human interfaces (Descartes),
programming language design (Alphard, Tartan), abstraction techniques
for advanced programming methodologies (abstract data types, generic
definitions), reliable software development (strong typing and
modularity), evaluation techniques for software (performance
specification, compiler contraction, software metrics), and analysis of
algorithms (polynomial derivative evaluation).
She has developed innovative curricula in Computer Science from the
introductory to the doctoral level and is exploring the application of
software engineering technologies to education, especially remote
delivery.
Dr. Shaw is an author or editor of seven books and more than one hundred
twenty papers and technical reports. In 1993 she received the Warnier
prize for contributions to software engineering. She is a Fellow of the
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Institute for Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American Association for the
Advancement of Science (AAAS). She is also a member of the Society of
the Sigma Xi, the New York Academy of Sciences, and Working Group 2.4
(System Implementation Languages) of the International Federation of
Information Processing Societies. In addition, she has served on a
number of advisory and review panels, conference program committees, and
editorial boards.
