  • The Roots of Software Engineering*
    THE ROOTS OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING* Michael S. Mahoney Princeton University (CWI Quarterly 3,4(1990), 325-334) At the International Conference on the History of Computing held in Los Alamos in 1976, R.W. Hamming placed his proposed agenda in the title of his paper: "We Would Know What They Thought When They Did It."1 He pleaded for a history of computing that pursued the contextual development of ideas, rather than merely listing names, dates, and places of "firsts". Moreover, he exhorted historians to go beyond the documents to "informed speculation" about the results of undocumented practice. What people actually did and what they thought they were doing may well not be accurately reflected in what they wrote and what they said they were thinking. His own experience had taught him that. Historians of science recognize in Hamming's point what they learned from Thomas Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions some time ago, namely that the practice of science and the literature of science do not necessarily coincide. Paradigms (or, if you prefer with Kuhn, disciplinary matrices) direct not so much what scientists say as what they do. Hence, to determine the paradigms of past science historians must watch scientists at work practicing their science. We have to reconstruct what they thought from the evidence of what they did, and that work of reconstruction in the history of science has often involved a certain amount of speculation informed by historians' own experience of science. That is all the more the case in the history of technology, where up to the present century the inventor and engineer have \*-as Derek Price once put it\*- "thought with their fingertips", leaving the record of their thinking in the artefacts they have designed rather than in texts they have written.

  • Research on Programming Technology of Computer Software Engineering Database Based on Multi-Platform
    2019 4th International Industrial Informatics and Computer Engineering Conference (IIICEC 2019) Research on Programming Technology of Computer Software Engineering Database Based on Multi-Platform Wei Hongchang, Zhang Li Jiangxi Vocational College of Mechanical& Electronical Technology Jiangxi Nanchang 330013, China Keywords: Computers, Database, Programming, Software Engineering Abstract: With the rapid development of social science and technology, various trades and industries have also developed. For computer applications, the most important thing is the software system and hardware system in its components. As far as software engineering is concerned, in the construction of engineering chemical methods, the construction methods of engineering chemical should be combined to enhance the value of software application. The development of computer technology has formed a certain scale up to now, and it has dabbled in various fields. However, due to the different requirements of different industries on the performance of computer technology. Through the analysis of software database programming technology, in the creation of software computer structure, as a very important part, it will have a certain impact on the strength of computer computing ability. Aiming at the research of database programming technology in computer software engineering, this paper analyzes the advantages of database programming technology, and expounds the application of database programming technology in computer software engineering. 1. Introduction At the present stage, computing technology has been widely used in today's society and has penetrated into different industries in different fields. The arrival and popularization of computers have been highly valued and widely used. Through the analysis of software database programming technology, as a very important component in the creation of software computer composition structure, it will have a certain impact on the strength of computer computing ability [1].

  • Tackling Traceability Challenges Through Modeling Principles in Methodologies Underpinned by Metamodels
    Tackling Traceability Challenges through Modeling Principles in Methodologies Underpinned by Metamodels Angelina Espinoza and Juan Garbajosa Universidad Politecnica de Madrid - Technical University of Madrid, System and Software Technology Group (SYST), E.U. Informatica. Ctra. de Valencia Km. 7, E-28031, Spain, http://syst.eui.upm.es; aespinoza -at- syst.eui.upm.es, jgs -at- eui.upm.es Abstract. Traceability is recognized to be essential for supporting soft- ware development. However, a number of traceability issues are still open, such as link semantics formalization or traceability process models. Traceability methodologies underpinned by metamodels are a promis- ing approach. However current metamodels still have serious limitations. Concerning methodologies in general, three hierarchical layered levels have been identified: metamodel, methodology and project. Metamod- els do not often properly support this architecture, and that results in semantic problems at the time of specifying the methodology. Another reason is that they provide extensive predefined sets of types for describ- ing project attributes, while these project attributes are domain specific and, sometimes, even project specific. This paper introduces two com- plementary modeling principles to overcome these limitations, i.e. the metamodeling three layer hierarchy, and power-type patterns modeling principles. Mechanisms to extend and refine traceability models are in- herent to them. The paper shows that, when methodologies are developed from metamodels based on these two principles, the result is a method- ology well fitted to project features. Links semantics is also improved. Keywords: Traceability methodology, traceability metamodel, clabject, power-type pattern, metamodeling hierarchy, mechanisms for extension of traceability metamodels, metamodel extensibility. 1 Introduction Traceability is considered fundamental to perform processes and tasks such as V&V, change management, and impact analysis.
