He worked at the Carnegie Mellon University, Software Engineering Institute (SEISM) for five years until December 1994. While at SEISM, Dan led the real-time embedded systems tested project. Dan's interests include methodologies, risk management, process (from the Personal Software Process (PSPSM) to Capability Maturity Model® (CMM®) assessments), the People-CMM®, and the psychological aspects of change management. Dan Roy has retained close ties with the SEISM where he still teaches and consults as a visiting scientist. In particular, he is a regular teacher of the SEISM “train the trainer” course for the Personal Software Process and he has been selected by SEISM to verify and approve the French translation of CMM® and CBA-IPI material. 

With a customer base spanning 9 countries, Dan has also worked with various world class software engineering institutes such as the Centre de Recherche Informatique de Montreal (CRIM) in Canada, the Norwegian Computing Center (NR), the Swedish Institute for Systems Development (SISU), the Institut d’Ingénierie International (IN3) in Paris, the Centro Internacional de Technologica de Software (CITS) in Brazil, and the European Software Institute (ESI) in Spain.

Dan is a co-author of the book “Meeting Deadlines in Hard Real-Time Systems” (Briand-Roy) published by IEEE in 1999. He is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the IEEE Computer Society, a member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and a senior member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). He has served as chairman of several Ada conferences and as chair of the ACM SIGAda Performance Issues Working Group (PIWG) and Safety and Security Working Group. He is also a trained evaluator for the accreditation visits of the Computer Science Accreditation Board (CSAC/CSAB), a 1997 senior examiner for Q-NET (Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce Baldrige-like award) and a qualified user of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
