Anthony I. (Tony) Wasserman is a Professor of Software Management Practice at
Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley, and the Executive Director of the Center for Open Source
Investigation. 

Previously, Tony was Director of Mobile Middleware Labs for Hewlett-Packard’s Middleware
Division, where he managed a development team working on software infrastructure for
mobile web services. Before it was acquired by HP, Tony was Vice President of Bluestone
Software, responsible for its West Coast Labs, where he led the creation of the
award-winning, J2EE-based, Total-e-Mobile toolkit. During the dot-com boom, he was VP of
Engineering for a startup in San Francisco. 

As Founder and CEO of Interactive Development Environments, Inc. (IDE) from 1983-1993,
Tony built IDE to $25M in revenue, earning it a place on the Inc. 500 list and making IDE
a recognized leader in computer-aided software engineering. As CEO, he raised venture
funding, created international subsidiaries, and contributed to the architecture of
IDE's innovative Software through Pictures (StP) software modeling environment. 

Prior to starting IDE, Tony was a Professor at U.C. San Francisco and a Lecturer in the
computer science division at U.C. Berkeley. His research areas included software
engineering, software development environments, database management, programming
languages, and human-computer interaction. 

Dr. Wasserman earned his Ph.D. in computer sciences from the University of Wisconsin -
Madison and his B.A. in mathematics and physics from UC Berkeley. 

Tony has been selected as both a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
and a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers and is often invited
to speak at both industrial and research conferences. He has published dozens of
technical papers, edited eight books, and is the recipient of several awards for his
contributions. He gave the inaugural Stevens Lecture on Software Development Methods, and
was the first recipient of the ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Service Award.
