Modern software systems increasingly rely on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products as building blocks, with some major systems assembled with minimal custom code. This approach promises rapid delivery, shared development costs, and enhanced capabilities as commercial offerings improve. However, the potential of COTS products is often not fully realized, leading to more failures than successes in their implementation. The research and software practitioner communities have been engaged with COTS-based systems for years, accumulating enough documented experience to analyze and share success stories, common pitfalls, lessons learned, and research advancements. Effective use of COTS in major systems requires new skills, knowledge, and altered roles and processes. The International Conference on COTS-Based Software Systems (ICCBSS) addresses the challenges of integrating COTS products into software systems. Sponsored by the National Research Council Canada, the Software Engineering Institute, and the University of Southern California Center for Software Engineering, the conference aims to unite managers, developers, maintainers, and researchers to exchange expertise and experiences in this evolving field.

Based on Nixon’s overlooked recordings, New York Times bestselling author John W. Dean connects the dots between what we’ve come to believe about Watergate and what actually happened Watergate forever changed American politics, and in light of the revelations about the NSA’s widespread surveillance program, the scandal has taken on new significance. Yet remarkably, four decades after Nixon was forced to resign, no one has told the full story of his involvement in Watergate. In The Nixon Defense, former White House Counsel John W. Dean, one of the last major surviving figures of Watergate, draws on his own transcripts of almost a thousand conversations, a wealth of Nixon’s secretly recorded information, and more than 150,000 pages of documents in the National Archives and the Nixon Library to provide the definitive answer to the question: What did President Nixon know and when did he know it? Through narrative and contemporaneous dialogue, Dean connects dots that have never been connected, including revealing how and why the Watergate break-in occurred, what was on the mysterious 18 1/2 minute gap in Nixon’s recorded conversations, and more. In what will stand as the most authoritative account of one of America’s worst political scandals, The Nixon Defense shows how the disastrous mistakes of Watergate could have been avoided and offers a cautionary tale for our own time.
