Forever Software

چکیده
Any attempt to explain software engineering to a lay audience soon falls back on analogy: building software is like building a bridge, a car, a television set. A large part of the established practice within software engineering is also based on this premise. However, the analogy is false in some important ways, and herein originate many of the problems that have bugged the software industry since its birth.

Vaporware: Product Pre-Announcements in a Duopoly with Network Effects
Pre-announcement of new products (still undergoing development) is an important practical and theoretical concern. While possible in any industry, it is particularly prominent in the IT markets, such as computer hardware and software. We specifically focus on announcements known as Vaporware – that is, products and services that are delivered after long delays or sometimes do not hit the market...
متن کاملThe FoReVer Contract-Based Approach
The development of complex computer-based systems poses two fundamental challenges. On one side, the architectural decomposition must be complemented by a suitable refinement of the requirements. On the other side, it is fundamental to provide the means for component reuse in order to limit development costs. In this chapter, the authors discuss the approach taken in FoReVeR, a project funded b...
متن کاملThe Role of Logic Programming in Next-Generation Component-Based Software Development
To date Logic Programming has not made any impact on Software Engineering. As Software Engineering moves on from objects to components, will Logic Programming be simply forgotten forever? In this position paper, I will argue that the answer could be and should be, perhaps surprisingly, negative.

The development of on-line software tools is changing the way we traditionally perform our analysis in drug design, but will chemoinformatics be forever behind bioinformatics in this development?
متن کاملThe Use of Intel1
I present algorithms for automated long-term behavior prediction which can recognize when a simulation has run long enough to produce a representative behavior sample, characterize the behavior, and determine whether this behavior will continue forever, or eventually terminate or otherwise change its character. I have implemented these algorithms in a working program which does longterm behavio...
