Message-ID: <5.2.1.1.2.20040511214728.033e1350@po14.mit.edu> Unified, Just a remainder about tomorrow's CP lecture: Time: 5/12/04, 9am Room: 35-225 Speaker: Heidi C. Perry, Division Leader - Software Engineering, Draper Laboratories Lecture Topic: What Software Do You Need to Get to Mars? A Look at Large Scale Software Development Today's aerospace applications are extremely software intensive. The designs of all modern flight platforms, e.g., aircraft, rotorcraft, submersibles, missiles and spacecraft, have been revolutionized because of the integration of advanced microelectronics and complex sensor systems. All of these systems extensively use information generated by a myriad of sensor subsystems that are highly integrated into a real-time embedded software architecture. This lecture will explore what it takes to develop large scale software for a number of examples of highly reliable, flight critical software applications. This lecture is going to be very exciting, and I look forward to seeing all of you there. /Kristina Lundqvist --- I. Kristina Lundqvist, Ph.D. Charles S.

Hall) Date: Thu, 13 May 2004 18:57:51 -0400 Subject: [Unified-mailman] Today's System Problem Lecture Message-ID: Folks, I'm sending this e-mail to share my thoughts on the events that took place in today's lecture, so that everyone understands why I and the other Unified staff consider the behavior seen today unacceptable. First, the posters that were on the wall at the beginning of the lecture (which I removed before some of you came in) certainly appeared to be designed to indicate your displeasure with Prof. Pittinsky. I am well aware that many of you were unhappy about the on-line team surveys. The surveys have been a topic of concern for the Unified staff, and your input on this issue is important to us. Indeed, respectful input to Prof. Pittinsky on this point would have been appropriate. However, the nasty tone that was conveyed to Prof. Pittinsky in the posters has no place at MIT, where respect for individuals is a core value. Unfortunately, Prof. Pittinsky saw the posters before I had removed them, so the damage was done. I don't know whether he took offense at the posters, but a reasonable person certainly could take offense. Prof. Pittinsky is owed an apology on this point. The projector hack is a somewhat different matter. Hacks at MIT have a long tradition, and all MIT men and women should take pleasure in a well-executed hack. Had the projector hack been stopped at the appropriate time, it would have fit well within the MIT tradition of hacking --- it was technically well executed, the slides were imaginative, and the slides poked gentle fun at the faculty, without being disrespectful. The problem, of course, was that the hack continued long after the gag was funny, after I had asked at least twice that we respect the speaker. The continuation of the hack showed great disrespect for Prof. Pittinsky, and to a lesser extent, Prof. Coleman, myself, and the class. On this point as well, Prof. Pittinsky is owed an apology. I've said several times during the term that I think that this class is one the nicest Unified classes I've known, and I stand by that. I also said at the end of class that I was very disappointed in the class, which is not quite right. I'm really disappointed in those members of the class who treated our guest with such disrespect, whether intended or not. The strong disappointment I expressed today reflects the shock that I felt that members of this class could treat a guest that way. Today's lecture reflects badly on MIT, the Unified staff, and Unified students. I have already offered an apology to Prof. Pittinsky. I hope and expect that those who are responsible for today's unpleasant events will do the right thing, and offer their own apologies to Prof. Pittinsky as well.

If you have covered the material from the midterm problem sets (basic knowledge of graphs and trees, reading Ada code, algorithm analysis, tree traversals), you should be fine. Do let me know if any of you/groups of you want to schedule a one-on-one session with me on Monday or Tuesday. ..IKL --- I. Kristina Lundqvist, Ph.D. Charles S.
