Philippe Kruchten

Philippe Kruchten is a professional software engineer, with 30 years of industrial experience developing large-scale software-intensive systems in the areas of telecommunications, aerospace, defense, transportation and software tools. He is responsible for the development of the software development method, the Rational Unified Process®. In addition to RUP, Philippe has also developed a model for the representation of software architecture, based on multiple coordinated views, which led to an IEEE standard.

An accomplished author, his most recent and notable publications include a book on the RUP (170,000 copies in 10 languages, so far), an undergraduate textbook on software engineering, developed jointly with a Canadian university professor, and a text-book on RUP with an IBM colleague. Philippe is currently a professor of software engineering at the University of British Columbia.
