Abstract

Tools emerge as the result of necessity -a job needs to be done, automated, and scaled. In the "early days" -compilers, code management, bug tracking, and the like -resulted in mostly local home-grown tools -and when broadly successful-spawn (from either industry or university origins) independent tools companies -for example Klocwork from Nortel and Coverity from Stanford University. This panel will bring together academics and industry professionals to discuss challenges in tools research.
