Software Guide: Some Tips About Software by Sardool Sikandar
The term software is generally used for computer software that is an essential part of the computer system. It stores and process all encoded information or computer instructions on PC. Computer software has very vast scope in computer world. According to computer science and software... Software can be divided in three classes such as system software, application software and programming software. ... With the help of application software, they can perform all applications like office suites, business software, databases and games.

The Ratio of Analysts to Programmers by Tim Bryce
"Good specifications will improve programmer productivity far better than any programming tool or technique." - Bryce's Law INTRODUCTION In terms of systems development, during the 1960's and early 1970's you were either a Systems Analyst or a Programmer. ... The emphasis on programming became so great that authors rushed out voluminous books to increase programmer productivity, hence the birth of the Structured Programming movement of the late 1970's, which was followed shortly thereafter by the CASE movement (Computer Aided Software Engineering).

Creating Software Systems For End User Modelling by Peter Hale
It is important to make it possible for users to program software without having to write code. This relies on visualisation of the problem in a similar way to modelling. So to make this approach possible it's necessary to look to develop free models and modelling tools for use over the Web. ... This is true for software development in general, not just in the domain of engineering. ... More generally a new approach is required to software creation. ... This involves providing the kind of software over the Web that is already available on individual computers, and using this for sharing of...

PhD Summary - User Driven Programming by Peter Hale
I hope this might be useful for anyone who is thinking of looking at my research, and want to know if it is useful, and applicaple to their problems. I'm particularly interested in applying this research to allow those in business and organisations to solve their modelling problems. ... The thesis explains how the above aims can be achieved, in order to enable decision support during product development, whilst minimising dependence on specialist software and detailed programming effort. ... The advantage of this is that the engineers can share and adjust models without needing to call...

Software Development Life Cycle by Anirban Bhattacharya
Software development life cycle (SDLC) is a process adopted and followed during the development of software. Also known as software life cycle and software process, there are quite a few stages for SDLC. Requirements analysis Being acquainted with the specific requirements of the desired... This requires skill and experience in software engineering so that the exact software is developed Specification analysis A software development process enters the specification stage once the deliverables are figured out.

User Driven Modelling - Detailed Explanation - Part 2 - Research Approach by Peter Hale
This research demonstrates how a taxonomy can be used as the information source, from which it is possible to automatically produce software. This technique is most suitable at present to modelling, visualisation, and searching for information. The article explains the technique of User Driven... International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering, 11: 259-279. ... It is proposed that software and information represented by the software, be separated but represented in the same open standard searchable way.

User Driven Modelling - Detailed Explanation - Part 4 - Translation by Peter Hale
For this research the focus is on combining the development of dynamic software created in response to user actions, with object oriented, rule based and semantic web techniques. This helps solve problems of mismatch of data between object oriented and relational database systems identified by... The approach involves adapting or creating software systems to provide the visual editor for the source tree, and model builders would create a model by editing this. ... Hunter [2] evaluates engineering ontologies and gives examples.

Handheld Oscilloscopes are Here! by Mark Boehm
The days of having to lug that old bulky Oscilloscope have finally come to pass. If you are an Electronics Engineer or Service Technician looking for that right tool you know exactly what I'm talking about. No doubt that yesterday’s bench top Oscilloscopes were and still are an important piece... Other accessories most often found featured with today’s Handheld Oscilloscopes are; AC Adapters, a variety of test probes, computer software and cables which makes these new Handheld Oscilloscopes the wave of the future.

Managing Design Complexity by Tim Bryce
"100% of your design documentation is contained in the specifications of your information resources." - Bryce's Law There are many companies today, most overseas, still tackling major systems projects particularly in the areas of banking and manufacturing. ... Since a software design project is smaller and seemingly more palatable to implement than a total systems project, some companies will focus on software engineering tools and techniques, and abandon total systems engineering practices. ... As a footnote, our findings also revealed the "average" system design project is seven times...
