Robert L. (Bob) Glass (born 1932) is an American software engineer and writer, known for his works on software engineering, especially on the measuring of the quality of software design〔Briand, Lionel C., Sandro Morasca, and Victor R. Basili. "Property-based software engineering measurement." ''Software Engineering, IEEE Transactions on'' 22.1 (1996): 68–86.〕 and his studies of the state of the art of software engineering research.〔Vessey, Iris, Venkataraman Ramesh, and Robert L. Glass. "Research in information systems: An empirical study of diversity in the discipline and its journals." ''Journal of Management Information Systems'' 19.2 (2002): 129–174.〕〔Bertolino, Antonia. "Software testing research: Achievements, challenges, dreams." ''Future of Software Engineering'', 2007. FOSE'07. IEEE, 2007.〕 == Biography == Glass held his first job in computing in 1954. He worked from 1954 to 1957 in the aerospace industry at North American Aviation, from 1957 to 1965 at Aerojet-General Corp. and from 1965 to 1982 at Boeing Company, where he built software tools used by applications specialists. Between 1970 and 1972, Glass had worked on a tools-focused research grant at the University of Washington. From 1982 to 1987, he taught in the Software Engineering graduate program at Seattle University, and subsequently spent a year at the Software Engineering Institute.〔 Early 2000s he has been visiting professor at the Linköping University in Sweden and at the Griffith University in Queensland, Australia.〔Robert L. Glass (2006) ''Software Creativity 2.0''. p. v〕 The Linkoping University awarded him a honorary PhD in 1995.〔Robert L. Glass (2003) ''Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering.'' p. 190〕 He is the emeritus editor-in-chief of the ''Journal of Systems and Software'' and also writes regular columns for ''Communications of the ACM'' and ''IEEE Software''. In 1995 he was awarded an honorary Ph.D. from Linkoping University of Sweden,〔Joseph Feller (2005) ''Perspectives on Free and Open Source Software''. p. 516〕 and in 1999 he was named a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) professional society. Using the pseudonym Miles Benson, Glass in the 1970's regularly wrote disguised stories of failed computing projects for industry publication Computerworld. After 45 years in the field Glass described himself as "my head is in the academic area of computing, but my heart is in its practice."〔Attributed to Glass in Joseph Feller (2005, p. 517)〕 Writing in ''IEEE Software'' in 2000, Glass criticized open-source software, predicting that it will not reach far, and "will be limited to one or a few cults emerging from a niche culture." Glass's basis for this bold prediction was that open-source software "goes against the grain of everything I know about the software field".〔Glass, R. L. (2000).
