Issues
- "Using
WWW to Improve Software Development and Maintenance: Application
of the LIGHT System to ALEPH Programs" --
A. Aimar, M. Aimar, A. Khodabandeh, P. Palazzi, B. Rousseau, M.
Ruggier
- LIGHT, LIfe cycle Global HyperText, is
an attempt to solve the problem using WWW technology. The
basic idea is to make all the software documents, including
code, available and cross-connected on the WWW
- Same Words, Different Meangings: Are Basic IS/IT Concepts
Our Self-imposed Tower of Babel? -- Steven
Alt
- At minimum, I think the range of different
meanings and connotations associated with the most commonplace
IS terms implies that we as a field need to pay more attention
to basic concepts and how different people use them
- Concurrent Software Development -- Joseph
Blackburn, Gary Scudder, andLuk N. Van Wassenhove
- The Productivity Paradox -- "more is
less"
faster firms tend to have smaller teams at all development
stages except for the customer requirements stage.
- project managers must establish two way
high bandwidth flows of information among the teams working
on separate pieces
of the problem and must ensure that the interfaces are simple
and elegant.
These actions to resolve time and productivity problems tend
to be confined to the
lowest level of concurrent activity: within-stage.
The real potential for gain comes as a firm moves up the CE
hierarchy and manages concurrent activity across stages-across
the hardware/software interface and across platforms. i.e.
the key is cross-stage concurrency
