Celebrating 40 years since accreditation, the Queen's School of Computing is internationally recognized for software research and education and is home to the NSERC RIM Industrial Research Chair in Software Engineering for Ultra Large Scale Software (ULSS) Systems. The School is part of a larger software research community in the Kingston, ON area, including strong ties with the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Queen's and at the Royal Military College of Canada (RMCC). The School also has a global focus on the explosive international growth in ULSS development with frequent collaborative visitors from around the world, including, among others, the Fraunhofer Institute (Germany), Fondazione Bruno Kessler (Italy) and the Software Engineering Institute (USA). The NSERC CREATE Graduate Specialization in Ultra-large-scale Software Systems (NSERC CREATE in ULSS) will be built on this expertise with the long-term goal of establishing a sustainable Canadian collaborative research and education solution for the unique challenges in the architecture and use of ULSS systems. These systems process the financial, healthcare and network connections data of millions of people worldwide. They must minimize or eliminate vulnerabilities to maintain the level of service demanded by Canada and the world. ULSS outages can bring whole economies to a halt. To address the current and foreseeable demand in both industry and academia, the NSERC CREATE in ULSS will train over 80 highly qualified personnel, including postdoctoral fellows, PhD, MSc and undergraduate students in the specialized methods and advanced design concepts of ULSS. As well, professional development skills and training transition streams relevant to ULSS will be integrated with a core graduate computer science education in ULSS. No such graduate program is currently offered in Canada or elsewhere in the world, despite the growing importance of ULSS and the demand for experts trained in the unique set of new problems that ULSS poses.

自认证以来，庆祝40周年，皇后计算学院在软件研究和教育方面得到了国际认可，并且是NSERC RIM超级大型软件（ULSS）系统软件工程的NSERC RIM工业研究主席。该学校是金斯敦地区一个较大的软件研究社区的一部分，包括与皇后区电气和计算机工程（ECE）和加拿大皇家军事学院（RMCC）的紧密联系。该学校还专注于ULSS开发的爆炸性国际增长，来自世界各地的频繁合作访客，包括弗劳恩霍夫研究所（德国），Fondazione Bruno Kessler（意大利）和软件工程学院（美国）（美国） 。 NSERC创建超大规模软件系统（ULSS中的NSERC Create）的NSERC创建研究生专业化将建立在此专业知识的基础上，其长期目标是建立可持续的加拿大合作研究和教育解决方案，以解决建筑中的独特挑战和使用的独特挑战ULSS系统。这些系统处理全球数百万人的财务，医疗和网络连接数据。他们必须最大程度地减少或消除脆弱性，以维持加拿大和世界所需的服务水平。 ULSS中断会使整个经济体停止。 为了满足行业和学术界目前和可预见的需求，ULS的NSERC创建将培训80多名高素质的人员，包括专业方法和ULS的高级设计概念，包括博士后研究员，博士学位，MSC和本科生。同样，与ULS相关的专业发展技能和培训过渡流将与ULSS的核心研究生计算机科学教育集成。尽管ULS的重要性越来越重要，但目前在加拿大或世界其他地方没有提供这样的研究生计划，并且对接受ULSS构成的独特新问题的专家的需求越来越重要。
