The paper, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/doi.acm.org\/10.1145\/337180.337209\">A case study of open source software development: the Apache server<\/a><\/em>, is co-authored by Audris Mockus, myself, and James Herbsleb. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sigsoft.org\/awards\/mostInfPapAwd.htm\">MIP<\/a> is an important award within the academic world; my thanks to the award committee and congrats to Audris and Jim. I wish I could have been there in South Africa for the presentation. This year&#8217;s award is shared with a paper by Corbett et al. on <a href=\"http:\/\/doi.acm.org\/10.1145\/337180.337234\">Bandera<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, my other paper in ICSE 2000 was the <a href=\"http:\/\/doi.acm.org\/10.1145\/337180.337228\">first conference paper about REST<\/a>, co-authored with my adviser, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ics.uci.edu\/~taylor\/\">Dick Taylor<\/a>. That must have caused some debate within the awards committee. As I understand it, the MIP award is based on academic citations of the original paper and any follow-up publication in a journal. Since I encouraged people to read and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ics.uci.edu\/~fielding\/pubs\/dissertation\/faq.htm\">cite my dissertation<\/a> directly, rather than the ICSE paper&#8217;s summary or its corresponding <a href=\"http:\/\/doi.acm.org\/10.1145\/514183.514185\">journal version<\/a>, I am not surprised that the REST paper is considered less influential. However, it does make we wonder what would have happened if I had never published my dissertation on the Web. Would that paper have been cited more, or would nobody know about REST? <em>shrug<\/em>. I like the way it turned out.<\/p>\n<p>The next two International Conferences on Software Engineering will be held in Hawaii (<a href=\"http:\/\/2011.icse-conferences.org\/\">ICSE 2011<\/a>), with Dick as the general chair, and Z\u00fcrich (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifi.uzh.ch\/arvo\/req\/events\/ICSE2012\/\">ICSE 2012<\/a>). That is some fine scheduling on the part of the conference organizers! Fortunately, I have a pretty good excuse to attend both.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the same day that Liam was born, I received news that one of my two papers published at the ICSE 2000 conference has been given the International Conference on Software Engineering&#8217;s Most Influential Paper Award for its impact on software engineering research over the past decade.
