A developer's knowledge of a computing system's requirements is
necessarily imperfect because organizations change. Many
requirements lie in the future and are unknowable at the time the
system is designed and built. To avoid burdensome maintenance costs
developers must therefore rely on a system's ability to change
gracefully-its flexibility. Flexible Software Design: Systems
Development for Changing Requirements demonstrates the design
principles and techniques that enable the design of software that
empowers business staff to make functional changes to their systems
with little or no professional IT intervention. The book
concentrates on the design aspects of system development, the area
with the most flexibility leverage. Divided into four parts, the
text begins by introducing the fundamental concepts of flexibility,
explaining the reality of imperfect knowledge and how development
participants must change their thinking to implement flexible
software. The second part covers design guidelines, stable
identifiers, stable information structures, the Generic Entity
Cloud concept, and regulatory mechanisms that give business staff
control over system modifications. Part three relates strategic
information systems planning to flexible systems. It examines the
elicitation of requirements and the relevance of agile methods in a
flexible systems environment. It also discusses practical aspects
of stable identifier design and compares the testing of traditional
and flexible software. In part four, the book concludes with
details of the flexible UniverSIS system and an explanation of the
applications and extensions of the Generic Entity Cloud tools. The
combination of smart design and smart work offered in Flexible
Software Design can materially benefit your organization by
radically reducing the systems maintenance burden.

When the activating button for a nuclear launch is lost at sea, it
is up to James Bond to retrieve it before it falls into the wrong
hands. Roger Moore once again plays 007 in this, the 12th Bond
outing, director John Glen's first Bond film and the first without
an Ian Fleming credit. Highlights include a climb up a sheer
rock-face; a car chase down a steep, winding mountain road; an
underwater battle; and what might be the greatest of all Bond's
celebrated ski chase sequences.
Drawing on his experience as a social scientist, Walter Johnson
outlines some of the challenges posted by the increasing
ethno-cultural diversity of society through an examination of
immigration history, the debate over immigration policy and the
issues of multiculturalism, racism, employment and racial
profiling.
