The Institute of Software Architects, Inc. is a nonprofit corporation founded to accelerate the establishment of the profession of software architecture and to provide information and services to software architects and their clients. WWISA has convened a group of leaders in the software industry as our founders and advisory board of directors. Grady Booch Chief Scientist, Rational Software Corporation Peter J. Denning, Ph.D. Chairman of the CS Department and Director of the Cebrowski Institute for Information Innovation and Superiority, Naval Postgraduate School Donald F. Ferguson, PhD. IBM Fellow Chief Architect for the IBM WebSphere Platform Ian Graham Principal Consultant, TriReme International Ltd. Professor of Requirements Engineering, De Montford University R. Jordan Kreinder, Ph.D. Vice President, IBM Consulting Group L. Thomas Love, Ph.D. President, Shoulders Corporation
Thomas J. Mowbray, Ph.D. Collectively, these Founders have published at least a score of books, many regarded as seminal works of software architecture, design, and construction, as well as close to 400 published articles in both technical and mainstream publications. They have been prime innovators in object technology, computer science education, software architecture, software design, human-computer interaction, modeling, and project management. WWISA Founders have achieved rare feats from advising a US. President to being named by Forbes magazine as a key executive responsible for the turnaround of the IBM Corporation. The litany continues with some of their positions, past and present, and masterstrokes: President of ACM, Morgan Stanley Managing Director, Department Chair and Professor of Computer Science, co-founder of CSNET, Chief Scientist, Founder of GEs Advanced Concepts Center, consulting firm CEO, Chief of the Special and Advanced Systems Division at the Pentagon (we can't talk about that), President of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility, Founding Director of NASAs Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science, Vice Provost for Continuing Professional Education, IBM Chief Architect, JOOP columnist on software architectures, and member of Dogberts New Ruling Class (!). These board members have designed and built multitudinous software systems. Even while we sleep at night, their software is working hard - trafficking Puppy Chow, routing spy planes, managing Swiss bank accounts, operating Wall Street trading desks, stopping planes from colliding in mid-air, and even helping nervous husbands chart their wives labor contractions. The roll call of clients proceeds thusly: Action Technologies, Alcatel, American Express, Andersen Consulting, Ascent Logic, AT&T, Baxter, BellSouth, Boeing, Celsius Tech, Chase Manhattan Bank, Chubb and on it goes through MCI and Microsoft all the way to the end of the alphabet WWISA is privileged, indeed, to have this fine group to serve as our founders and advisory boards of directors. |
WWISA Founding Members are emerging from locales far and wide. These are members who are dedicated to the establishment of our profession and who desire to contribute their time and skill to establishing our new organization. They will assist WWISA in a variety of ways including starting local chapters, enlisting new members, web site support, and publishing books and articles on software architecture. Our first Founding Member to volunteer to start a WWISA Chapter is from Mykonos, Greece. Right on his heels was a Founding Member offering to start a Silicon Valley Chapter. One cannot escape the historical cogency of WWISAs first chapters being embedded in the Cradle of Western Civilization and the Cradle of the Information Age. WWISA is a fledgling, but far-flung enterprise. A Founding Member will start a Chapter in the Land Down Under, and founding members are on the cusp of starting chapters in Canada, Atlanta and Chicago. These chapters will be instrumental in our success, as will be the Founding Members who are volunteering their skills to support our web site, discussion groups, and our efforts to spread the word of WWISA. |
