Science of Design: Software-Intensive Systems

  A Workshop Sponsored by the National Science Foundation
  Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate

Overview 

The National Science Foundation’s (NSF’s) Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering is sponsoring an invitational workshop on the topic of Science of Design with a particular emphasis on Software-Intensive Systems.  The workshop will be held at Airlie Center, 30 miles from Dulles International Airport, November 2–4, 2003.  The workshop objective is to help the NSF better define the field and its major open problems and to prioritize important research issues.  Attendance is by invitation only based on a short position paper, the author’s likely contributions toward meeting the workshop objectives, and factors such as diversity of views and backgrounds.  The workshop is open to submissions and participants from both the U.S. and other countries.
