Software Science and Cognitive Psychology

IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 1983
Halstead proposed a methodology for studying the process of programming known as software science. This methodology merges theories from cognitive psychology with theories from computer science. There is evidence that some of the assumptions of software science incorrectly apply the results of cognitive psychology studies.

A perspective on software science

IBM Systems Journal, 1981
This paper provides an overview of a new approach to the measurement of software. The measurements are based on the count of operators and operands contained in a program. The measurement methodologies are consistent across programming language barriers.

The Art and Science of Software Architecture

International Journal of Cooperative Information Systems, 2007
Experience in all aspects of software engineering has confirmed the pivotal role of focusing on architectural concerns in the development of complex software-intensive systems. Consequently, the past 20 years has seen significant investments in the theory and practice of software architecture.

Dynamic Software Science with Applications

IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 1979
Two disciplines have been developed during the past few years for the study of computer software. Software physics has as its purpose the analysis of execution characteristics of programs. Basic measures of software work, time, and shortage occupancy are used to derive measures such as power, capacity usage, and storage work, with applications to the ...

Science of software changes

Tenth Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference, 2003., 2004
Software is subject to change. Changes come from many sources. It has to change as its infrastructure has been changed. It has to change as its functionality has to be augmented. It has to change as new algorithms are found which will increase it performance.

A critical examination of software science

Journal of Systems and Software, 1981
The claims that software science could provide an empirical basis for the rationalization of all forms of algorithm description are shown to be invalid from a formal point of view. In particular, the conjectured dichotomy between operators and operands is shown not to hold over a wide class of languages.

Software as Science—Science as Software

2002
Software should be of great interest to historians of science. That may seem strange, given that it is of such recent origin. Software is no older than the modern electronic computer and the activity of writing programs for it. It is still experiencing growing pains.

Resolving the software science anomaly

Journal of Systems and Software, 1987
Abstract The theory of software science proposed by Halstead appears to provide a comprehensive model of the program construction process. Although software science has been widely criticized on theoretical grounds, its measures continue to be used because of apparently strong empirical support.
