Software and Systems Architecture in Action (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781138374423)

Raghvinder (Raghu) Sangwan is an associate professor of software engineering at Pennsylvania State University. His work involves design and development of software systems, their architecture, and automatic and semiautomatic approaches to assess their design and code quality. He has published several papers in these areas. Prior to joining the Pennsylvania State University, Raghu was a software architect at Siemens, where he worked on large-scale systems in the domains of health care, automation, transportation, and mining; many of these systems were developed by teams geographically distributed around the world. This experience resulted in his coauthoring the Global Software Development Handbook and co-organizing the first International Conference on Global Software Engineering (ICGSE 2006), sponsored by the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He also holds a visiting scientist appointment at the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. He received his PhD in computer and information sciences from Temple University and is a senior member of IEEE and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
