Software Engineering at Internet Speeds
How do you manage software engineering processes when you are
working at Internet speeds? In the dot-com world, expectations are that
you can create a web site overnight and reliably deliver it to millions of
customers. However, a modern e-commerce web site involves a lot more
than a fancy multimedia front-end. Many web sites fail because their back-end
software systems cannot handle the high volume, high transaction rate, high
security requirements of the web. This often happens because pressures of working at Internet speeds mean many systems are designed, developed, and deployed
without proper software engineering processes. This Colloquium will address not only the technology but also the process and the people
issues surrounding software engineering at Internet speeds.
