Robert L. Glass ( born Robert L. (Bob) Glass , b.1932) is an American software engineer who is known for his work in software engineering, mainly for measuring the quality of software development [1] and the art of studying software engineering [2 ] [3] .
Biography
Robert Glass began working in software engineering since 1954. From 1954 to 1957 he was an employee of North American Aviation , from 1957 to 1965 - Aerojet and from 1965 to 1982 - at Boeing , where he developed a number of application software packages [4] .
From 1970 to 1972, Glass worked on a grant from the University of Washington , from 1982 to 1987 he taught the graduate program Software Engineering at the University of Seattle , and then spent a year at the Institute of Software Engineering in Pittsburgh [4] . In the early 2000s, he was a visiting professor at Linkoping University in Sweden and at Griffith University in Queensland , Australia [5] . Linkoping University awarded him an honorary doctorate in philosophy in 1995 [6] .
Robert Glass is the Honorary Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Systems and Software [7] , and also has regular columns in Communications of the ACM and IEEE Software [8] . In 1999, Glass was elected a member of the board of the Association of Computing Engineering , the oldest and largest international organization in the computer field [9] . Under the pseudonym Miles Benson in the 1970s, Glass regularly published descriptions of failed computer projects in Computerworld [10] .
After 45 years of work in the computer field, Glass described himself as follows: “my head is in the field of academic research, but my heart is in its practice” [11] . In his 2000 IEEE Software article, Glass criticized open source software , predicting that it would not get much development, but "would be limited to one or more cults coming from a niche culture." Glass also noted that open source software "runs counter to everything I know about the software industry" [12] .

Glass (Bob) has meandered the halls of computing for over 50 years now, starting with a three-year gig in the aerospace industry (at North American Aviation) in 1954–1957, which makes him one of the true pioneers of the software field. That stay at North American extended into several other aerospace appearances (at Aerojet-General Corp., 1957–1965) [sic] and the Boeing Company, 1965–1970 and 1972–1982). His role was largely that of building software tools used by applications specialists. I. " Date of treatment November 6, 2013. Archived on September 14, 2010.
