Abstract :
This is the first article we´re fortunate to have from the SATURN 2012 conference. This issue highlights a compelling story of crisis, larceny, and, of course, Fortran-the first programming language I learned, which I did by teaching it to undergrad engineering students. Because I never saw those engineers after they left my class, it´s heartening to see that others like them learned some good lessons and developed useful insights. I´m sure you will enjoy reading this architectural tale.
