Although other industries have followed a similar trajectory, software and its supporting industry are different. In this book the authors explain, from a variety of perspectives, how software and the software industry are different--technologically, organizationally, and socially. The growing importance of software requires professionals in all fields to deal with both its technical and social aspects; therefore, users and producers of software need a common vocabulary to discuss software issues. In Software Ecosystem, Messerschmitt and Szyperski address the overlapping and related perspectives of technologists and nontechnologists. After an introductory chapter on technology, the book is organized around six points of view: users, and what they need software to accomplish for them; software engineers and developers, who translate the user's needs into program code; managers, who must orchestrate the resources, material and human, to operate the software; industrialists, who organize companies to produce and distribute software; policy experts and lawyers, who must resolve conflicts inside and outside the industry without discouraging growth and innovation; and economists, who offer insights into how the software market works. Each chapter considers not only the issues most relevant to that perspective but also relates those issues to the other perspectives as well. Nontechnologists will appreciate the context in which technology is discussed; technical professionals will gain more understanding of the social issues that should be considered in order to make software more useful and successful. 001387345 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001387345 650_0 $$aComputer software. 001387345 650_0 $$aComputer software$$xDevelopment. 001387345 650_0 $$aComputer software industry. 001387345 650_0 $$aSoftware ecosystems. 001387345 653__ $$aCOMPUTER SCIENCE/General 001387345 653__ $$aCOMPUTER SCIENCE/Human Computer Interaction 001387345 653__ $$aSOCIAL SCIENCES/Political Science/Public Policy & Law 001387345 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001387345 7001_ $$aSzyperski, Clemens. 001387345 852__ $$bebk 001387345 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/6323.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001387345 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001387345 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1387345$$pGLOBAL_SET 001387345 980__ $$aBIB 001387345 980__ $$aEBOOK 001387345 982__ $$aEbook 001387345 983__ $$aOnline
