'The promise, the limits, and the beauty of software'

Within this generation, software has changed the way that individuals 
collaborate, organizations do business, economies operate, and cultures 
interact.

In this presentation, we will examine the promise, the limits, and the 
beauty of software, as well as offer some conclusions that can be drawn 
from the last 60 years of software and some expectations and cautions 
for the next generation.

This event is jointly sponsored by the School of Computer Science, 
Manchester Business School, the Faculty of Engineering and Physical 
Sciences and IBM, in association with BCS and IET.
