Philosophy and Industrialized Software Development

In this paper I will give a contribution to the creative conversation on future development and use of computer technology which Bo Dahlbom and Lars-Erik Janlert invited to in their paper published in the previous volume of SJIS.They argued that as software development now becomes industrialized, the need for organizational competence in this task will disappear. My position is rather the direc...

A Practical Software Tool for Generator Maintenance, Scheduling and Dispatching

Preventive maintenance scheduling and economic dispatch, have found prominent positions in the operation of power systems. A new heuristic algorithm based on the tabu search has been proposed as a solution method to the maintenance problem. This algorithm seeks to satisfy an objective function that can either maximize or minimize spinning reserve capacity of the power system over the entire pla...

Distributed Generator Maintenance Scheduling

In recent years the electricity sector has undergone a number of changes that all point in the direction of liberalization and decentralization of control. However, a number of technological challenges have to be addressed before the desired degree of decentralization is obtained. Currently, most of the decisions about the operation of a power system are still made in control centers in a centr...

Software Services and Software Maintenance

Software services are being promoted as the next big step forward in software engineering.. Inevitably, both service vendor and service client programs will require maintenance. We present a service architecture that has been motivated by a long term vision for software as something which is used, not owned. This architecture is used to show how evolution of software can be achieved. It uses th...
