Jaffar-ur-Rehman (died October 8, 2005) was a Pakistani computer scientist. He was a professor and the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Sciences at Mohammad Ali Jinnah University in Pakistan.[1] BiographyHe topped Quaid-i-Azam University by setting an all-time Computer Science Department record of a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 4.9 on a scale of 5.0. In result, he was awarded the Quaid-e-Azam Scholarship for higher studies abroad, which he used to receive his Master of Science (M.Sc) degree and his Ph.D. in computer science in the United States. He completed his M.Sc. in just one year at the University of Pennsylvania by securing a CGPA of 3.9 on a scale of 4.0. He taught in Australia for around three years during his Ph.D. He came back to Pakistan after fully completing his Ph.D., where he taught at Quaid-e-Azam University, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), and then Mohammad Ali Jinnah University. Center for Software DependabilityJaffar-ur-Rehman was the founder of the Center for Software Dependability (CSD), which pioneered research in the domain of software dependability and reliability in Pakistan. CSD was founded in June 2003, and, since then, it has flourished at a rapid pace, with numerous publications in journals and conferences of international repute. The current head of CSD is Dr Aamer Nadeem, a former Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) student of Jaffar-ur-Rehman. ResearchJaffar-ur-Rehman's primary research interests were software reliability, dependability, and testing. He was also interested in operating systems and methodologies for systems analysis, architecture, and design. He published more than 24 journal, conference, and workshop articles.{{citation needed|date=September 2009}} In 2004, he had a chaired session at the International Conference on Software Engineering and Applications (ICSEA), and he was a guest co-editor of an ACTA special issue on software reliability in 2005. He was a member of the program committee or the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MoDELS).[2] The next year, he was the General Chair at the IEEE International Conference on Engineering of Intelligent Systems (ICEIS). DeathOn October 8, 2005, Jaffar-ur-Rehman and his family died in the 2005 Kashmir earthquake.
