Software maintenance documentation
Proceedings of the 7th annual international conference on Systems documentation, 1989When technical writers speak of software documentation, they usually speak of user manuals. Certainly there is reason for them to. User manuals produced by software people (and I am proud to count myself as a software person!) have often been so bad that a whole industry has sprung up to publish books containing information needed to supplement ...

Redocumentation for the maintenance of software
Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference on - ACM-SE 30, 1992Traditionally documentation has been mainly text based and it is considered that this is not always the best format for the analysis and understanding of code for use in software maintenance. A system based upon an interactive hypertext system utilising both text and graphics would be more appropriate.

Towards an ontology of software maintenance
Journal of Software Maintenance: Research and Practice, 1999SUMMARY We suggest that empirical studies of maintenance are difficult to understand unless the context of the study is fully defined. We developed a preliminary ontology to identify a number of factors that influence maintenance. The purpose of the ontology is to identify factors that would affect the results of empirical studies.

Productivity in software maintenance
Proceedings of the May 4-7, 1981, national computer conference on - AFIPS '81, 1981New evidence is presented that certain management decisions play a critical role in determining the level of staff productivity in the maintenance of computer programs and systems. The finding is surprising because the pivotal decision-making process has not previously been identified as a significant influence on productivity in either development or ...

Software maintenance and evolution
Proceedings of the Conference on The Future of Software Engineering, 2000The production of new management approaches to evolution, leading to understanding of the relationships between technology and business. How can software be designed so that it can easily be evolved? More effective tools and methods for program comprehension for both code and data A better formalism and conceptualisation of 'maintainability'; how do we

Software maintenance objectives
Proceedings of the May 16-19, 1983, national computer conference on - AFIPS '83, 1983Recent survey work indicates that the objectives held by managers of maintenance for application software are partially out of step with the managers' own perceptions of the demands on them. This is a possible cause of maintenance difficulties, to the extent that maintenance managers do guide their behavior by their professed objectives. It is a likely

Structured software maintenance
Proceedings of the May 16-19, 1983, national computer conference on - AFIPS '83, 1983Many books are written about structured design and programming, but never about structured maintenance. True structured maintenance comprises four functional roles, called the manager, librarian, archivist, and programmer. The manager manages. The archivist protects contents of computer files and stores information about these files in an archive ...

Exploring the world of software maintenance
ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, 1986In this column of the last issue of SEN (Vol. 10, No. 5), we started discovering the world of software maintenance through selected readings. In this issue we begin exploring the exciting and also depressing (I will try to explain this contradiction in a future column) world of software maintenance.The column of this issue is based on

An often-cited problem in software engineering education is that many of the relevant topics are difficult to address in a university setting. Though project work is a useful supplement to the lectures, it is very difficult to make the project truly realistic. In our environment therefore, we decided not to try to mimic all aspects of reality.

ACM SIGCSE Bulletin, 1984
There is considerable effort to reduce the software budget devoted to the maintenance of applications systems. This effort will have the effect of improving productivity of development and maintenance programmers. This means that for a given system over a given time period, the amount spent on software maintenance can be reduced significantly.
