ESC SV Conference Handouts

The organizers ran out of handouts, so I'm posting the handout Acrobat file so everyone can get a copy. This copy has been updated to include some last-minute changes I made right before the talk. It summarizes a lot of the areas covered by my book:

Avoiding the Top 43 Embedded Software Risks (handouts), Phil Koopman, ESC SV, May 2011

You can also see the accompanying paper at this link.
Enjoy!
