Claude Y Laporte is a Professor at the École de technologie supérieure (ETS) an engineering school of the Université du Québec network of institutions. He teaches graduate and undergraduate software engineering courses. He received his Master in Applied Sciences from the Electrical and Computer Engineering department of École Polytechnique de Montréal in 1986. In 1980, he received his Master in Physics (computerized instrumentation) from the Université de Montréal. He completed a Ph.D., under the supervision of Dr. J. Tisseau, Director of the National Engineering School of Brest (ENIB) of the Université de Bretagne Occidentale (UBO).
In 1989, he instigated the development
of a software engineering center modeled on the Software Engineering Institute. This lead to the establishment
of the Applied Software Engineering Center (ASEC) of the Computer Research Institute of Montreal
(CRIM).
Between 1978 and 1991, he was professor at the Royal Military College (Saint-Jean), a
Military university
of the Department of National Defence. He was tasked in 1988, as a project manager, to lead
the development of a graduate program in software engineering for the Department of National Defence.
From 1992 to 1999, he worked at
Oerlikon
Aerospace (now Rheinmetall Defence) as
a senior analyst responsible to coordinate the development and deployment of
software and systems engineering processes and management processes.
He participates, as an Affiliate of the
Software Engineering Institute,
to the project
Improving Processes for Small Settings. He co-founded and chaired the Montréal Software Process Improvement Network
(SPIN). SPINs
are sponsored by the Software Engineering Institute.
His interests include the development and deployment of software and systems engineering processes,
process assessment, software quality and the management of technological changes.
He is a member of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ)
(Corporation of Professional Engineers of the Province of Québec),
IEEE Computer Society (IEEE), the International Council
on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) and the Project
Management Institute (PMI).
He has been an invited professor at the French University of
Brest (Université de Bretagne Occidentale) and at the Chiang Mai University of
Thailand.
He is co-author, with Professor Alain April of ETS, of two textbooks about software quality assurance. These books are published by Hermes-Lavoisier: L’assurance qualité logicielle 1- Concepts de base, Hermes-Lavoisier, Paris, 2011, ISBN : 978-2-7462-3147-4, 386 pages. Available in Canada from Somabec. L’assurance qualité logicielle 2 - Processus de support, Hermes-Lavoisier, Paris, 2011, ISBN : 978-2-7462-3222-8, 384 pages. Available from Somabec.
To be published in 2013 by John Wiley and Sons Inc. and IEEE Computer Society
He is the Editor of an ISO Working Group, Working Group 24, of
ISO/SC7/JTC1. The working group has been mandated to develop
the
ISO/IEC 29110
Systems engineering and Software engineering
standards for
Very Small Enterprises (up to 25 people). He also represents the Standards Council of Canada (SCC)
at Working Group 20 of
JTC1/ISO/SC7. This working group has developed a
standard for the
international certification of software engineering professionals.
