organization
CUPERTINO, CA (September 29, 2015)
–
Zeidman Consulting,
a research and development contract firm
specializing in digital hardware design, software design
and software forensics, announced today that founder and
president, Bob Zeidman, secured the Outstanding Engineer
Award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers’ (IEEE) Region 6 Central Area. Zeidman was
honored for his significant advances in the field of
software forensics. The IEEE Region 6 Central Area
includes Central California, Northern Nevada and Hawaii.
The IEEE Awards program recognizes
professionals who have made substantial contributions to
technology and the engineering profession. An expert in
a variety of engineering fields, Zeidman is distinctly
renowned for his pioneering work in software forensics.
Zeidman is credited for using software forensics to turn
previously subjective information into empirical
evidence. He has personally consulted on more than 150
court cases involving billions of dollars in disputed
intellectual property, the software forensics tools he
developed have been used in litigation worldwide, and
his book, “The
Software IP Detective's Handbook,” is
considered the standard textbook for software forensics.
Today’s announcement represents Zeidman’s third
Outstanding Engineer award from the IEEE; earlier this
year, he earned the prize in the IEEE’s Santa Clara
Valley Section. Zeidman was nominated by IEEE Fellow
Ralph Bernstein for his “accomplishments in the field of
software forensics, which he pioneered by turning a
subjective process into a quantitative measure and a
reliable methodology.”
“This award is not only recognition of my
contributions to software forensics, but also a tribute
to the value and significance of this field," said
Zeidman. “I am proud to accept this honor and to know
that my work has helped bring justice, fairness and
efficiency to many tech legal disputes.”
