About the keynote speaker

Keynote speaker Lionel Briand is a professor in software engineering and group leader at the Simula Research Laboratory, Norway. His experience spans five countries and two continents. He has worked in several research organizations and with many companies such as Siemens, Det Norske Veritas, and IBM-Rational. He was part of the post mortem committee of the Ariane 5 rocket crash to investigate the flight software testing and reliability analysis practices. In 2010, he was awarded the grade IEEE Fellow, which is IEEE's most prestigious honor, for contributions to the testing of object-oriented software systems. Even though his main interest lies in science and technology, his French heritage loves a good argument – feel free to disagree with him as well.
