Software Systems
One of the most influential programming languages in history was created by Columbia professor Bjarne Stroustrup, almost by accident.
Across three projects, PhD students worked alongside professors and industry partners to examine reliability, optimization, and evaluation, arguing that today’s agents often fail not because of raw capability but because of how they’re designed, deployed, and measured.
The award bestowed by the ACM Special Interest Group in Operating Systems chooses the recipient based on “contributions that are highly creative, innovative, and possibly high-risk, in keeping with the visionary spirit of Mark Weiser.”
About
The Software Systems group pursues fundamental research in all aspects of the design, implementation, analysis, verification, and evaluation of software systems.
The group conducts research with systems at all scales, from handheld devices to cloud computing data centers. They take an experimental systems approach in building real systems to investigate new research ideas, create tools to enable developers to quickly and correctly build complex systems, and teach students how to do it.
