  2. RELATED DISCIPLINES These disciplines provide input into software engineering practicesComputer EngineeringComputer ScienceManagementMathematicsProject ManagementQuality ManagementSoftware ErgonomicsSystems Engineering

  3. Computer Engineering • The hardware guys. • They are interested in some of the same non-functional attributes • The system engineer may allocate product requirements here or to the software engineers

  4. Computer Science • Computer science is to software engineering as physics is to civil engineering • Establishes basic “laws” such as computability • Defines and proves algorithms

  5. Management • At the strategic level in most organizations you will find management types. • They make strategic decisions • They are responsible for the product roadmaps • They are looking long term. • Licensing/IP ownership

  6. Mathematics • We did not take time this semester to get into issues such as the growth rate of various algorithms. • That is, we use a notation referred to as “big o” notation to express what happens to runtime performance as the amount of data increases. • An algorithm might have O(n) which is linear growth; O(n2) which is quadratic growth • There are numerous other uses of math

  7. Project Management • The PMBoK is the project management equivalent of the SWEBoK. • Project managers monitor the development process • They do not have technical knowledge or responsibility • They control the risk management process

  8. Quality Management • The quality management function monitors everyone’s activities to ensure the quality of the final product • They monitor based on quality standards • ISO 9000:2000 Quality management systems -- Fundamentals and vocabulary • ISO 9001:2000 Quality management systems – Requirements • ISO 9004:2000 Quality management systems -- Guidelines for performance improvements

  9. Software Ergonomics • “Ergonomics or (human factors) is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of the interactions among human and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance.” • Foundations of Cognitive Science • Information Extraction from Speech and Text • Lexical Processing • Computational Language Acquisition • The Nature of HCI

  10. Systems Engineering • We have already had much to say about this topic. • Essentially this is the upstream activity from software engineering when it exists in an organization.
