Old programs represent yesterday's technology. We have has learned quite a bit about software engineering methodology in the last few years. We now know, for example, that requirements traceability is central to program maintainability-if we don't know what a program is supposed to do we cannot maintain it.

A process defines the way activities are organized, managed, measured, supported and improved to reach a goal. It has been shown, 15 years ago [1] that processes are software too; more precisely that their description can also be software. We hypothesize that a system can be characterized by its goal and by answering the questions: why, what and how.

Process mining can be applied to software too!
Proceedings of the 8th ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement, 2014Modern information systems produce tremendous amounts of event data. The area of process mining deals with extracting knowledge from this data. Real-life processes can be effectively discovered, analyzed and optimized with the help of mature process mining techniques.

Software Developers Are People, Too: Using Participatory Research in the Tech Industry
2021This paper reports an ethnographic researcher’s shift towards the tech industry while maintaining the purpose of spotting opportunities and problems. It must be emphasized that whether working with remote communities in far-flung corners of the world or sitting in a room full of software developers, the concept remains the same: it is all about the ...

Are software processes business processes too?
Proceedings of the Third International Conference on the Software Process. Applying the Software Process, 2002There are remarkable similarities in research and practice between the software process and business process communities. These similarities are remarkable, not as a result of the degree of similarity, and not as a result of the closeness of purpose motivating the two communities' efforts, but rather because of the significant differences in history ...

Software developers are humans, too!
Proceedings of the companion publication of the 17th ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work & social computing, 2014Open-source communities can be seen as knowledge-sharing ecosystems: participants learn from the community and from one another, and share their knowledge through contributions to the source code repositories or by offering support to users.

Software processes are business processes too
Proceedings of the Third International Conference on the Software Process. Applying the Software Process, 2002There is much that is common to business processes and to software development processes; so much, in fact, that it is useful to consider each as a reflection of the other. I argue, on the one hand that the software development process is a special case of the more general notion of the business process. On the other hand, I argue that there is much we

Languages evolve too! Changing the Software Time Scale
Eighth International Workshop on Principles of Software Evolution (IWPSE'05), 2006Humans will have to live with software for a long time. As demonstrated by the Y2K problem, computer professionals used a wrong time scale when thinking about software. Large software products live much longer than expected. It took a few decades to the research community to admit that software engineering was not only about software development, but ...

Software compiles and therefore is characterized by a parseable grammar. Natural language text rarely conforms to prescriptive grammars and therefore is much harder to parse. Mining parseable structures is easier than mining less structured entities. Therefore, most work on mining repositories focuses on software, not natural language text.

Is teaching software design a ‘wicked’ problem too?
1995The creative act of design has been described as being a wicked or ill-structured problem, in which finding a solution to one aspect may only serve to reveal a more complex problem. The task of designing software offers additional dimensions to this, in that the media is invisible, is capable of almost infinite variations of form, and has both dynamic ...
