Biography

Bass received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Purdue University in 1970 under supervision of Paul Ruel Young with the thesis, entitled "Hierarchies based on computational complexity and irregularities of class determining measured sets."[3]

Bass was appointed Professor of Computer Science at the University of Rhode Island in 1970. In 1986 he moved to the Software Engineering Institute at the Carnegie Mellon University, where he started as head of the user-interface software group, and later focussed on analysis of software architectures. Since 2011 he is Senior Principal Researcher at NICTA, National ICT Australia.[4]
