Dr. Ye Yang Assciate Professor, Deputy Director Lab for Internet Software Technology (iTechs) Institute of Software Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISCAS) Current research areas: – Software estimation and measurement – Value-based Testing – Requirement management PhD Dissertation: – Composable Risk-Driven Processes for Developing Software Systems from COTS Products A Spiral-based lightweight process methodology consisting of – A Process Decision Framework (PDF) – 3 primary Composable Process Elements (CPEs) – A heuristic COCOTS Risk Analyzer (CRA), and – Risk-based prioritization strategy

2. Overview of ISCAS ISCAS, funded in 1985, is China’s national research institute focused on fundamental and applied research in both computer sciences and software technology development. Total employee: 600+; Graduate Students and visitors: 600+ Mission: research + technology/knowledge transfer + education Director: Prof. Mingshu Li (Since 2002)

3. Being an always thought leader, Dr. Boehm has started collaboration with Chinese research institutes since 2004. – Exchange student/scholar – Established USC/ISCAS joint research lab in 2005 – Co-sponsored Software Process Workshop 2005 and 2006, now the International Conference on System and Software Process – Two joint projects between USC and ISCAS between 2004-2006 I got my master degree from ISCAS in 2001 and returned to work in 2007. Some of the reasons are familiar colleagues, highly matched research areas, great ISCAS/USC joint lab platform, and most importantly, still being able to be around Dr. Boehm and the CSSE family. 2006: USC/ISCAS Joint Lab Open Ceremony 2005: 1 ST Software Process Workshop in Beijing

4. Overview of iTechs iTechs was established in 2001, evolved from the Lab for Advanced Software Technology which was originally founded in 1999. Research groups: Empirical Software Engineering, Requirement Engineering, Software Process Modeling and Simulation, Software Testing Main research product: – SoftPM: a toolkit based on TQM concept and embodies the major research results, CMM/CMMI/ISO9000 Compliant – Now a commercial product “ QONE ”, over 300 customers Co-sponsor international conferences – SPW2005, SPW/Prosim 2006, ICSP2007-2010, ICSSP2011 URL – http://itechs.iscas.ac.cn Founder, Chief Scientist: Prof. Mingshu Li Director: Prof. Qing Wang
