"The state-of-the art is driven by industry
and consultants, and research is lagging
behind in synthesizing and systematizing
knowledge and helping to validate or
dismiss the many claims made by
proponents for various tools and
techniques"

on continuous value delivery."

COMPLEXITY + SCALE

Scaling:
input, process, output;
Changing:
roles;
structures;
nature of work.
Redefining and Maximizing:
user experience;
human ability to collaborate and be creative.

• Re-emerged in the 1990s
• Seeking solutions for new, highly complex, global concerns (e.g.
climate change and sustainability)
• Focus on “wicked problems” that need creative solutions, its
reliance on stakeholder involvement, and engaged, socially
responsible science.

PURPOSE

32. 32
"Universities that split computing
research into small groups, isolated by
discipline boundaries, distance
themselves from its multi-disciplinary
future. Until computing research becomes
one, computing theory will remain as it is
now - decades behind computing
practice."
