My advisor at Sony Ericsson sent me an e-mail today, informing me that they had reviewed my draft and had no complaints. (They wrote that they found it “well-founded” and “elegantly worded.”) As a result, I have posted the full draft version to this web site, including Chapter 6, “The (Sony) Ericsson way” and section 7.2, “Implementing execution tracing at Sony Ericsson.” This means that there’s nothing stopping me from defending my thesis in just a few weeks, and not in March as I had anticipated.
