I'd like to bring up the topic of large-scale software design and what the
general consensus is regarding its ethical implications and how the tech-
niques currently used might be changed in order to improve reliability for
life and mission-critical systems.  I feel that changes in large-scale
system design are warranted and standards should be created in order to provide
more reliable systems.  Extensive beta testing must be performed and standards
should be developed for this phase as well.  Any comments on this topic are
gladly welcomed...
