Subjects: Application oriented computing; Software Engineering; Failed Development Life Cycles; and Ethics and Social impact of deployed system.




Abstract:

The focus on software testing and risk analysis during software development has only had a limited effect in reducing software failures. This talk will present a new approach to the identification of software risk and reduce the rate of system failures. The process and types of risks will be illustrated with international projects including e-voting, medical software, and data warehousing.
