Social Software Engineering: Development and Collaboration with Social Networking (Hardcover)

Although the precepts of software engineering have been around for decades, the field has failed to keep pace with rapid advancements in computer hardware and software. Modern systems that integrate multiple platforms and architectures, along with the collaborative nature of users who expect an instantaneous global reach via the Internet, require updated software engineering methods.

Social Software Engineering: Development and Collaboration with Social Networking examines the field through the spectrum of the social activities that now compose it. Supplying an up-to-date look at this ever-evolving field, it provides comprehensive coverage that includes security, legal, and privacy issues in addition to workflow and people issues.

Jessica Keyes, former managing director of R&D for the New York Stock Exchange and noted columnist, correspondent, and author with more than 200 articles published, details the methodology needed to bring mission-critical software projects to successful conclusions. She provides readers with the understanding and tools required to fuse psychology, sociology, mathematics, and the principles of knowledge engineering to develop infrastructures capable of supporting the collaborative applications that today’s users require.

雖然軟體工程的原則已經存在數十年，但這個領域未能跟上電腦硬體和軟體的快速發展。現代系統整合了多個平台和架構，並且使用者的協作性質使他們期望能透過互聯網實現即時的全球覆蓋，這就需要更新的軟體工程方法。

《Social Software Engineering: Development and Collaboration with Social Networking》通過社交活動的光譜來研究這個領域。它提供了一個最新的觀點，全面涵蓋了安全、法律和隱私問題，以及工作流程和人員問題。

曾任紐約證券交易所研發部門主管、知名專欄作家、通訊記者和作者的Jessica Keyes詳細介紹了將關鍵任務軟體項目成功完成所需的方法論。她為讀者提供了理解和工具，以融合心理學、社會學、數學和知識工程原則，開發能夠支持當今使用者需求的協作應用的基礎設施。
