The Harlan D. Mills Award is the most important international distinction in the field of software engineering, honoring scientists for their lifetime achievements. Andreas Zeller has now received this honor—only the second German to do so. He is a researcher at the Helmholtz Center for IT Security (CISPA) and a professor of software engineering at Saarland University.

The Harlan D. Mills Award is presented by the international engineering association IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) and recognizes long-standing and impactful research contributions to software development. Andreas Zeller is being honored for his lasting contributions to software debugging, program analysis, mining software repositories, and automated test generation.

The Harlan D. Mills Award will be presented to Andreas Zeller in April at the International Conference on Software Engineering in Rio de Janeiro. IEEE has more than 500,000 members from over 190 countries. It publishes about one third of the world’s technical literature in electrical engineering, computer science, and electronics, and supports more than 2,000 conferences each year.

Background Saarland Informatics Campus:
900 scientists (including 400 PhD students) and about 2,500 students from more than 80 nations make the Saarland Informatics Campus (SIC) one of the leading locations for computer science in Europe. Four world-renowned research institutes cover the entire spectrum of computer science, namely the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, the Center for Bioinformatics as well as Saarland University with three departments and 24 degree programs.
