Magazine Articles: IEEE Software

Zango Group principal Galen Gruman began his magazine career at the IEE Computer Society, which launched IEEE Software just before he joined the staff. Galen helped rework the magazine's approach from a dry, distant scholarly journal to an angaging, more accessible publication that quickly became a must-read for software engineers. He also brought in more coverage of the context surrounding the research community to help them approach their research more usefully.
