I am curious, just who is really doing software engineering research these
days, either in academia or in industrial research labs?   Like using Unix, Ada,
color workstations, color graphical tools, formal languages, reuse libraries.
Where is the vision?  Where are the future advances coming from?  Who is
searching for the Silver Bullet?
Certainly in some 'famous' computer science departments, software engineering
is not an 'acceptable' field of research. 
So what is the future and where is it coming from?   Am I going to have to 
spend the rest of my programming life in the current morass?

Any leads greatly appreciated.
