Software Evolutionary Dynamics Modelled as the Activity of an Actor-Network
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
What Software Evolution and Biological Evolution Don't Have in Common
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
Understanding software change as an evolutionary process analogous to biological evolution is an increasingly popular approach to software evolvability but requires some caution. Issues of evolvability make sense not only ...
Plus ca change...but what changes and what stays the same
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
Since 1949 there have been some dramatic changes in the fabrication technology of computing devices but in the design of computing devices and in software technology the changes have been more limited. This short note ...
The naming of systems and software evolvability
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
Software systems are unlike most entities whose--existence, persistence, development, and integrity as single individuals are presupposed by ordinary acts of naming. This paper broaches the issue of how naming practices ...
