Society is increasingly dependent on software. Why is it so difficult
then to create and maintain high-quality products? Susan L. Graham,
Pehong Chen Distinguished Professor of Computer Science, will address
this question and discuss the research directions that hold promise for
improving the situation. A professor in the electrical engineering and
computer sciences department at the University of California at
Berkeley, Graham received her A.B. in mathematics from Radcliffe College
and her M.S. and Ph.D. in computer science from Stanford University. She
is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a Fellow of the Association
for Computer Machinery and of the American Association for the
Advancement of
Science. She served on President Clinton's Committee for the National
Medal of Sciences, and serves on the President's Information Technology
Advisory Committee. Professor Graham was recently elected to the Harvard
Board of Overseers for a six-year term.
