Abstract :
It is argued that computer science and software engineering should be regarded as separate disciplines, and that the long term success of academic computer science departments will only be secured by adopting a stronger engineering stance in research, enhanced by closer links with industry. A number of ways are suggested to revitalise the software engineering community and forge stronger links with industry, particularly through a better and more coherent research base
