In this project we are developing methods to
automate the screening process, by analyzing
digital retinal photographs, to look for evidence
of retinopathy.

Software is everywhere!

• VCRs, cars, phones, digital watches,washing
  machines...
• It doesn't just get there by accident!
• There are lots of people involved in software
  engineering. They create lots of components.
• It's not just programming!
• We have to decide what to create, how to create
  it, where to put it, how to connect it, whether
  it works, how to fix it, etc.
• We need more than just programmers requirements
  engineers, designers, testers, network managers...

We'd like... one of our operating systems in
every car on Earth. Dick Brass, Microsoft.

Distributed Software Engineering

• Software Engineering is a human activity!
• Most projects involve teamwork.
• We provide tools to support people in their
  software development activities.
• Often people are collaborating across the globe
  in many languages.
• Large projects involve many people and many
  artefacts we provide tools to manage project
  workflow and software configuration management.
