Organizational Benchmarking Using the ISBSG Data Repository ( Chris Lokan, Terry Wright, Peter R. Hill, Michael Stringer ; IEEE Software Magazine 2001-09)

- In 1999, an organization contributed a large group of enhancement projects to the International Software Benchmarking Standards Group's Data Repository. The contributing organization received an individual benchmark report for each project, comparing it to the most relevant projects in the repository. The ISBSG also performed an organizational benchmarking exercise that compared the organization's set of 60 projects as a whole to the repository as a whole. The benchmarking exercise aimed to provide valuable information to the organization and to measure the benchmarking exercise's effectiveness given the repository's anonymous nature.

The Need for Openness in Standards ( Ken Krechmer ; IEEE Computer Magazine 2001-06)

- A standardization project's openness affects the resulting standard's value.

Open Source Software Development: An Overview ( Ming-Wei Wu, Ying-Dar Lin ; IEEE Computer Magazine 2001-06)

- Although some challenge the value of open source software development, its popularity cannot be disputed. This overview of open source licensing and development models describes some of the movement's main principles.

Software Engineering and the Law ( John Cosgrove ; IEEE Software Magazine 2001-05)

Surviving Global Software Development ( Christof Ebert, Philip De Neve ; IEEE Software Magazine 2001-03)

- Although there are many good reasons to globally distribute development activities, success is not guaranteed by just opening a development center in another region of the world. This article summarizes experiences and distills best practices from true global software development.

Open Source Software Adoption: A Status Report ( Huaiqing Wang, Chen Wang ; IEEE Software Magazine 2001-03)

- Open source software has emerged from the hacker community and become commercially viable, but because of many misgivings and myths regarding its maturity, making informed software adoption decisions is hard. Systematically applying requirements-oriented criteria to a representative set of open source software offers a practical roadmap for navigating this new landscape.

The Evitability of Software Patents ( W. Neville Holmes ; IEEE Computer Magazine 2000-03)

- Hobbling software with a medieval artifact like the patent may stifle innovation, benefiting the moneyed few at the expense of everyone else.

Redefining IT Career Paths for the New Millennium ( John Edwards ; IEEE Computer Magazine 2000-01)

What Do You Mean I Can't Call Myself a Software Engineer? ( John R. Speed ; IEEE Software Magazine 1999-11)

- In June 1998, the Texas Board of Professional Engineers established software engineering as a recognized engineering discipline and established licensing criteria specifically suited to software engineers. The author explains the legal issues involved and how they affect you.

How the New Software Engineering Code of Ethics Affects You ( Don Gotterbarn ; IEEE Software Magazine 1999-11)

- The Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice has recently been approved. This article looks at the immediate and long-term implications: Why does a profession need a code of ethics? How will this code function in an emerging profession like software engineering? What impact will it have on software practitioners?
