Creating Software Like a Band Plays Jazz: The Future of Software Delivery The workforce of the future is changing, becoming increasingly organizationally and globally distributed, fluid and dynamic. And nowhere is this shift more visible than in the domain of software delivery, where business and technical expertise is increasingly distributed across town or around the world. Join us as two IBM luminaries, renowned software futurist Grady Booch and Eclipse luminary Erich Gamma, explore IBM's vision of the future and what IBM is doing to realize this vision with the Jazz project and Rational Team Concert.

Finding Runtime Concurrency Errors in Multithreaded Java Applications Join Coverity on June 3 at 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT for a web seminar "Finding Runtime Concurrency Errors in Multi-threaded Applications." In this session Thomas Schultz of Coverity's Advanced Technology Group will offer a presentation and demonstration of Coverity Thread Analyzer for Java, a new dynamic analysis solution for multithreaded Java applications that automatically and predictably detects existing and potential race conditions and deadlocks that can cause deadly application behavior. Register today and find out how to:
<ul><li> Automatically and rapidly detect serious concurrency errors</li>
<li> Avoid data corruption and application failures
<li> Sharply reduce the problem of testing billions of unpredictable thread interleavings </li>
<li>Reduce risk of migration to multicore systems</li>
<li>Combine dynamic and static analysis to improve overall code quality</li></ul>
In this volume of Best of BYTE, we explore the emergence of some heuristic algorithms. Although we have only scratched the surface of this intriguing subject, we hope we've suggested the potential of the synthesis of heuristics and algorithms.
