Software Design: Theoretical Approaches

  • Chapter
Software Design — Cognitive Aspects

Part of the book series: Practitioner Series ((PRACT.SER.))

Abstract

A special feature of software design is that the problems to be solved are ’ill-defined’. There is also a distinction to be drawn between the problems of producing programs and the problems of producing results. We shall discuss these characteristics in Section 3.1. We then go on to present three theoretical approaches used in studying the activity of software design: the knowledge-centred approach, the strategy-centred approach and the organization-centred approach.
