Title: 
A Software Journey:  From Information Systems to Space Simulations

Abstract:
  All software is created to fulfill an opportunity or need.  Successful software projects tend to follow a core set of basic steps, or phases, during development. Large, complex, and safety critical systems necessitate formalism and rigor; while small and experimental systems lend themselves to more agile methods.  This presentation reviews actual processes employed during development on a variety of software projects – from Information Systems to Supervisory Control Systems to Space Simulations – and discusses selected techniques and tools for software verification.
