The panels for ICCBSS 2004 address various hot topics for COTS-based systems development, such as a) the new role of requirements and their corresponding activities; b) information security as a built-in software feature; and c) standardization of components and their interfaces and consensus on reference architecture.
The organizers are experienced practitioners (Judy Kerner from the Aerospace Corporation) and researchers (Carol Sledge from the SEI and Xavier Franch from Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, Spain). The panels’ members are selected representative of various industry domains, from both the COTS vendor and consumer camps, as well as of research institutes and universities, from the US and Europe.
