This volume of Advances in Computers is number 66 in the series that began back in 1960. This series presents the ever changing landscape in the continuing evolution of the development of the computer and the field of information processing. Each year three volumes are produced presenting approximately 20 chapters that describe the latest technology in the use of computers today. Volume 66, subtitled "Quality software development," is concerned about the current need to create quality software. It describes the current emphasis in techniques for creating such software and in methods to demonstrate that the software indeed meets the expectations of the designers and purchasers of that software.
  • In-depth surveys and tutorials on software development approaches
  • Well-known authors and researchers in the field
  • Extensive bibliographies with most chapters
  • All chapters focus on software development issues
  • Discussion of high end computing applications, a topic generally not understood by most software professionals

22. lappuse - Rather than attempt to put a dollar tag on benefits that by their nature are difficult to quantify, managers should reverse the process and estimate first how large these benefits must be in order to justify the proposed investment.
88. lappuse - Nonrepudiation is assurance that the end user of data is provided with proof of delivery and the recipient is provided with proof of the sender's identity, so neither can subsequently deny having processed the data.
xi. lappuse - He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
85. lappuse - Dependability is that property of a computing system which allows reliance to be justifiably placed on the service it delivers.
x. lappuse - Wolf is professor of electrical engineering at Princeton University. Before joining Princeton, he was with AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey. He received his BS, MS, and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1980, 1981, and 1984, respectively. His research interests include embedded computing, VLSI systems, and multimedia information systems.
21. lappuse - ... analysis. Zero is, after all, no less arbitrary than any other number. Conservative accountants who assign zero values to many intangible benefits prefer being precisely wrong to being vaguely right. Managers need not follow their example.
