Invited Talk: Social and Technical Implications of Nonproprietary Software

The potential future is enormous for what I tend to call open-box software—simultaneously both revolutionary and evolutionary. However, greater attention must be devoted to security, reliability, and perspicuous interfaces for users and admins alike. This suggests a need for disciplined software engineering approaches that transcend what is conventionally done by developers of proprietary source code. This talk will consider some of the potential risks of not fulfilling this need.

Peter G. Neumann, Principal Scientist, Computer Science Laboratory, SRI International
