• [2010-10-31] Watts Humphrey
  It is with sadness and emptiness that we share the news that Watts Humphrey, one of our friends and signatories, has left us. Watts Humphrey eventually had to give up the fight against his fatal illness.
  Watts was one of the most influential software engineers ever. His statement that Semat is on a path to change software engineering in a way is comparable with the 1968 NATO session on software engineering in Garmisch Germany, has inspired all of us who work on Semat. His guidance and leadership in many ways will survive and continue, but we will all miss him in the daily work.
  Our thoughts go today to his wife, his children, his close family, and his extended family to which we all belong.
