dc.description.abstract | I am a contrarian. What I often do in this column and my
other writings is oppose something or other in the computing/
information systems field. But in doing that, I run the risk of
being labeled an “againer.” (A friend of mine was called an
“againer” because whatever subject was brought up, he was
against it!). So in this column I would like to do a “now for
something completely different” thing.
Here, I would like to express support for some things that,
while not in the midst of the field’s mainstream (one might
even call them “obscure”), still appear to be potential major
contributors to its progress. I would like to name three such
things:
1. The Impact project, and its attempt to trace the impact of
computing / software engineering research on software
engineering practice.
2. The recent creation of a list of the “25 most dangerous programming
errors,” and the further creation of a method for
trying to eradicate them.
3. A (by now somewhat ancient) book on the “assessment and
control of software risks.”
In each case, I want to stress what I see as the positive contribution
of these things, but at the same time, I cannot risk adding
a “but . . .” to the end | |
