Welcome to the Wiki page of "The Future of Software Development". Not surprisingly, we’re researching the future of software development. Anyone will agree that software development in general is going to change — and that it has to, to keep up with technical opportunities and business requirements. But how? And what will be the consequences? One of the main topics will be Open Source software, and we’re looking at business issues, as well as technical and organizational ones.
(Back to LIACS ICT in Business 2005)
