In June 2009, the Software Architecture Challenges in the 21st Century Workshop sponsored by IEEE Software, University of Southern California, and University of California Irvine attracted quite a bit of interest. Pekka Abrahamsson, Philippe Kruchten, and Grady Booch all addressed the role of software architecture and architecting in agile software development. I ended up writing an editorial based on the Kruchten and [...]

In a previous blog, I talked about five common mistakes authors make when trying to get an article accepted for publication in peer-reviewed software engineering journals, magazines, or proceedings. The full list includes ten common mistakes, as follows:
Number 10. Ignore reviewer feedback.
Number 9. Stick to clichés.
Number 8. Borrow without giving due credit.
Number 7. Don’t worry about [...]

The February issue of Computing Now has a nice collection of articles on cloud computing. See http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/computingnow/0209/theme/software
My IEEE Software column on the topic is also featured (Cloud Computing: Does Nirvana Hide Behind the Nebula?) …

Back in March, I gave a presentation to the IEEE Student Chapter at the Université du Québec à Montreal on publishing software engineering articles in peer-reviewed venues. In that presentation, I talked about the common sins prospective authors commit when trying to get a technical article accepted by a peer-reviewed publication. This post gives a synopsis of those sins.
