Overview of ISCAS• ISCAS, funded in 1985, is China’s national research institute focused on fundamental and applied research in both computer sciences and software technology. • Total employee: 800+; Graduate students: 600+• Director: Prof. Mingshu Li (Since 2002)

• Being an all-time thought leader, Dr. Boehm has started collaboration with Chinese research institutes since 2004. – Exchange student/scholar– Established USC/ISCAS joint research lab in 2005– Co-sponsored Software Process Workshop 2005 and 2006, now the International

Conference on System and Software Process– Two joint projects between USC and ISCAS between 2004-2006

• Before attending USC, I got my master degree from ISCAS in 2001. And I returned ISCAS to work in the joint lab after graduated. Some reasons are the familiar colleagues, highly matched research areas, and most importantly, still being able to be around Dr. Boehm and CSSE family.
