 PurposeThe Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Software Engineering Standards provide a comprehensive set of standards for developing and validating software.The standards are a fantastic resource, representing countless man-years of effort.There is an ongoing program to enhance and extend the standards (approximately five new standards are developed each year). Among the most highly regarded software engineering standards available today, the IEEE standards are widely recognized in regulated industries such as the medical device industry

 Software engineering is a term that has a very broad definition. This process includes the logical design of a system; the development of prototypes, the automated generation of computer code for the system; the testing, validation and benchmarking of the code and the final implementation of the system. Once a new system is up and running, the software engineering process is used to maintain the system, evaluate its operation, keep track of new versions and refactor and/or reuse the code for other projects. Over the past 30 years the discipline of software engineering has grown

 Computer technology has made incredible progress in the roughly 55 years since the first general-purpose electronic computer was created. Today, less than a thousand dollars will purchase a personal computer that has more performance, more main memory, and more disk storage than a computer bought in 1980 for 1 million dollars. This rapid rate of improvement has come both from advances in the technology used to build computers and from innovation in computer design

 A twelve-year-old can build a nice Web application using the tools that came standard with any Linux or Windows machine. Thus it is worth asking ourselves, ‘‘What is challenging, interesting, and inspiring about Internet-based applications?’’ There are some easy-to-identify technology-related challenges. For example, in many situations it would be more convenient to interact with an information system by talking and listening. You’re in the bathtub reading New Yorker
