  • Abstract
    It is argued that computer science and software engineering should be regarded as separate disciplines, and that the long term success of academic computer science departments will only be secured by adopting a stronger engineering stance in research, enhanced by closer links with industry. A number of ways are suggested to revitalise the software engineering community and forge stronger links with industry, particularly through a better and more coherent research base
