Biography
Bass received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Purdue University in 1970 under the supervision of Paul Ruel Young with the thesis, entitled "Hierarchies based on computational complexity and irregularities of class determining measured sets."{{MathGenealogy|id=81991}}
Bass was appointed Professor of Computer Science at the University of Rhode Island in 1970.{{citation needed|date=February 2019}} In 1986, he moved to the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where he started as head of the user-interface software group, and later focused on the analysis of software architectures. Since 2011, he has been Senior Principal Researcher at NICTA (National ICT Australia).[https://www.nicta.com.au/people/lbass Len Bass] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160320070144/https://www.nicta.com.au/people/lbass/ |date=2016-03-20 }} at nicta.com.au.
