Software Engineering in the Academy

Overview A general discussion of the role of universities in software engineering education and research, with a number of concrete proposals.
Rather than just emphasizing quality, we could distinguish software engineering from programming by its industrial nature, leading to another definition: “the development of possibly large systems intended for use in production environments, over a possibly long period, worked on by possibly many people, and possibly undergoing many changes,” where “development” includes management, maintenance, validation, documentation, and so forth.

Brampton Factor: You call this an information society?

This claim is highly suspect, and depends on a technical, and largely meaningless, definition of 'information'. Something is obviously wrong given the conflicting nature of the claims. It is in the nature of things that software developers will...

Web smut labelling plan still on cards

That's in part because courts in the past have ruled that the same definition of "sexually explicit" referenced in the legislative proposal could be applied to fully clothed genital areas, making perhaps unintended sites fair game.

The Brampton Factor: Microsoft vs EU

And it is in the nature of commercial software development that the results have industrial utility, at least in a general sense. A patent can be awarded to anything that is shown to be non-obvious, to include an inventive step and to have...

Broadband summit: Speed is the key

Timms added the debate had been "a constructive and open discussion which anticipated the demand for reliably faster and more symmetrical broadband". Discussion is certainly underway on the future of broadband Britain, said ISPA's spokesman...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
