There are several reasons for this, but one of the main reasons is that aeronautical engineering is constrained by the laws of nature, whereas software is not. ...]]> Mon, 19 Jun 2006 09:03:06 -0400 Mon, 19 Jun 2006 09:03:06 -0400 Mon, 19 Jun 2006 09:03:06 -0400 Jun 19, 2006 Erik Engbrecht 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=40855 Firstly, I would not hold up the space shuttle as an example of quality design (fitness for purpose?). ...]]> Mon, 19 Jun 2006 08:51:59 -0400 Mon, 19 Jun 2006 08:51:59 -0400 Mon, 19 Jun 2006 08:51:59 -0400 Jun 19, 2006 Erik Engbrecht 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=40855 Balancing Agility and...]]> Sun, 18 Jun 2006 22:53:35 -0400 Sun, 18 Jun 2006 22:53:35 -0400 Sun, 18 Jun 2006 22:53:35 -0400 Jun 18, 2006 Rob Bunten 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=40855 Sun, 18 Jun 2006 13:09:02 -0400 Sun, 18 Jun 2006 13:09:02 -0400 Sun, 18 Jun 2006 13:09:02 -0400 Jun 18, 2006 Paul Beckford 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=40855 The point is that the space shuttle system would have required less software if the system design was simpler. Simplicity is an Agile principle which applies just as much to space craft as it does to software (or motor vehicle design) or any...]]> Sun, 18 Jun 2006 11:18:55 -0400 Sun, 18 Jun 2006 11:18:55 -0400 Sun, 18 Jun 2006 11:18:55 -0400 Jun 18, 2006 Erik Engbrecht 1 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=40855 Sun, 18 Jun 2006 05:41:45 -0400 Sun, 18 Jun 2006 05:41:45 -0400 Sun, 18 Jun 2006 05:41:45 -0400 Jun 18, 2006 Paul Beckford 2 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=40855 Sat, 17 Jun 2006 23:52:11 -0400 Sat, 17 Jun 2006 23:52:11 -0400 Sat, 17 Jun 2006 23:52:11 -0400 Jun 17, 2006 Dean Schulze 4 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=40855 Sat, 17 Jun 2006 15:48:58 -0400 Sat, 17 Jun 2006 15:48:58 -0400 Sat, 17 Jun 2006 15:48:58 -0400 Jun 17, 2006 Paul Beckford 6 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=40855 If you answer my question with a question we won't get anywhere. If you think every part of an air traffic control system is life critical who dies when one of their servers goes down? Who dies if the software to file flight plans goes...]]> Sat, 17 Jun 2006 13:24:40 -0400 Sat, 17 Jun 2006 13:24:40 -0400 Sat, 17 Jun 2006 13:24:40 -0400 Jun 17, 2006 Erik Engbrecht 7 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=40855 Fri, 16 Jun 2006 13:26:33 -0400 Fri, 16 Jun 2006 13:26:33 -0400 Fri, 16 Jun 2006 13:26:33 -0400 Jun 16, 2006 Paul Beckford 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=40855 Fri, 16 Jun 2006 13:09:09 -0400 Fri, 16 Jun 2006 13:09:09 -0400 Fri, 16 Jun 2006 13:09:09 -0400 Jun 16, 2006 Dean Schulze 8 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=40855 What software in an air traffic control system is life critical? There are always humans watching those screens.
