Book ChapterDOI
The Web of Computing: Computer Technology as Social Organization
Rob Kling,Walt Scacchi +1 more
TL;DR: It is noted that web models allow better predictions of the outcomes of using socially-complex computing developments in contrast to the discrete-entity models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the requirements for developing open source software systems
TL;DR: Eight kinds of software informalisms are found to play a critical role in the elicitation, analysis, specification, validation and management of requirements for developing open software systems, and this focus enables the consideration of a reformulation of the requirements engineering process and its associated artefacts, or (in)formalisms, to better account for the requirements for developed open source software systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extracting and restructuring the design of large systems
S.C. Choi,Walt Scacchi +1 more
TL;DR: The approach used is to map the resource exchange among modules and then derive a hierarchical design description using a system-restructuring algorithm, using a module interconnection language, NuMIL.
Reference EntryDOI
Process Models in Software Engineering
TL;DR: This article categorizes and examines a number of methods for describing or modeling how software systems are developed and concludes with a more comprehensive review of the alternative models of software evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding Free/Open Source Software Development Processes
TL;DR: This article introduces a special issue of Software Process—Improvement and Practice focusing on processes found in free or open source software development (F/OSSD) projects, which reveals a more diverse set of different types of processes than have typically been examined in conventional software development projects.
