On Friday 30 March Peter Gorm Larsen will give a Computer Science Friday Lecture on:
Beyond Software Engineering
Abstract: The term "Software engineering'' first appeared in the 1968 NATO Software Engineering Conference and since then many papers and books have been published about this subject. This presentation advocates getting going beyond software engineering since I feel that the main challenges do not reside inside the discipline itself. Instead the main challenges are with determining how to best combine this discipline with other (engineering) disciplines in order to support the needs for the engineering of systems that have IT components inside them. I will show different examples illustrating how software engineering with advantage can be combined with for example models of physical systems.
Biography: Peter Gorm Larsen is currently a professor (ingeniv?rdocent) at Aarhus University School of Engineering where he act as the team lead for the software engineering team.
After receiving his M.Sc. degree at the Technical University of Denmark in Electronic Engineering and Computer Engineering in 1988, he went to industry to bridge the gap between academia and industry. He later returned and did an industrial Ph.D. degree which was completed in 1995. He gave industrial courses all over the world, and had an industrial career until he decided to return to academia in 2005.
His prime research interest is to improve the development of complex mission-critical applications with well-founded technologies and in particular tool building that enables such development. He is the author of more than80 papers published in journals, books and conference proceedings and a couple of books.
