Amy J. Ko was awarded a 10-year most influential paper award from the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE). This is the premiere conference on software engineering research. ICSE selected her paper, "Debugging reinvented: asking and answering why and why not questions about program behavior,” as the most influential paper from approximately 60 that were published in 2008. This work was published as the last piece of her doctoral dissertation, and has spawned hundreds of innovations in debugging tools in academia and industry. This is the second time Amy has won a most influential paper award. Congratulations, Amy, on this great honor!
