What Core Areas Are Vital?

• Implementing software systems with predictable
  behavior, in specific contexts
• Security and dependability
• Most security problems are caused by program
  defects (routine or otherwise)
• Multi-core processors
• Programming models must support sound reasoning
  about behavior
• Mobility-related issues
• Sensor networks and other wireless networks raise
  interesting SE/PL problems
• Teaching future SEs how to do this
