For systems to survive in a volatile world, where business needs, government regulations and computing platforms keep changing, softwaresystems must evolve too in order to survive. We discuss the state-of-the-art for research on the topic, and predict some ofthe research problems that will need to be addressed in the next decade. We conclude with a concrete proposal for a run-timemonitoring framework based on (requirements) goal models.SpringerLink - Book Chapterhttp://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2c22657eaf3350f306e884e04b97a80a5/neilernstneilernst2008-05-22T21:38:57+02:00cognition engineering jambalaya knowledge personal <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Ernst">Neil A.

This paper argues that understanding the history of a software innovation is valuable in setting the context for future innovations. There is no formal discipline of software history. While there is an active body of research in information technology (IT) and innovation management, which seeks to understand how to maximize value from IT spending, this research often ignores the meaningful technological underpinnings of such tools. We suggest that the study of design history should be extended to software artifacts. The paper introduces notions like requirements analysis, technology context, and social context to explain how, and why, certain technologies evolved as they did. We apply these concepts to the history of distributed computing protocols. We conclude with observations drawn from this history that suggest designing software for evolvability must consider the history of similar applications in the requirements analysis.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/23d2e9b359d07b65799b09854240afe07/neilernstneilernst2008-02-15T23:48:00+01:00evolution personal requirements <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Mylopoulos">John Mylopoulos</a>, and <a href="/author/Ernst">Neil Ernst</a> </span><em>Design Requirements Workshop, </em><em>Case Western University, Cleveland, OH, </em><em>NSF, </em>(<em>June 2007</em>)<em>position paper . </em>Fri Feb 15 23:48:00 CET 2008Case Western University, Cleveland, OHDesign Requirements WorkshopJuneposition paperDynamically evolving requirements2007evolution personal requirements http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2719b15632c8a56577b34e2bfaa5869aa/neilernstneilernst2008-01-16T02:57:01+01:00neuroscience personal <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Ernst">Carl Ernst</a>, <a href="/author/Sequeira">Adolfo Sequeira</a>, <a href="/author/Klempan">Tim Klempan</a>, <a href="/author/Ernst">Neil Ernst</a>, <a href="/author/ffrench Mullen">Jarlath ffrench Mullen</a>, and <a href="/author/Turecki">Gustavo Turecki</a> </span><em>Neurogenetics</em> <em>8(3):219--224</em> (<em>August 2007</em>)Wed Jan 16 02:57:01 CET 2008Neurogenetics#aug#3219--224Confirmation of region-specific patterns of gene expression in the human brain82007neuroscience personal The human brain is divided and categorized in different ways, yet a molecular genetic approach to region specificity does not exist. Using data from 12 healthy control subjects across 18 brain regions, we performed a microarray analysis using boththe HG-U133AB and HG-U133 plus 2 chips for each subject to determine molecular targets showing region specificity.

A key quality of communication artifacts is their comprehensibility. We present a flexible framework to evaluate the comprehensibility of model representations that is grounded on the underlying theory of the language to be evaluated, and on theoretical frameworks in cognitive science.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2839bd5f67852a785ab8e2e32c257f2f0/neilernstneilernst2008-01-15T23:49:00+01:00personal <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Storey">Margaret-Anne Storey</a>, <a href="/author/Noy">Natasha F.

Our paper motivates this claim by examining some previous work in this domain and explaining the nature of cognitive support. We discuss some of the problem areas we have encountered in our research. Through user questionnaires and observations carried out at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the University of Washington Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) Project, we have begun to gain an understanding of the cognitive barriers experienced by the users of knowledge engineering tools. We present some proposed solutions that could address the problems we identified, and in addition, discuss how our own tool, called Jambalaya, could be applied to provide cognitive support. We analyse the support Jambalaya provides using some non-functional design criteria and illustrate some trade-offs inherent in tool design. We suggest that the need for cognitive support in knowledge engineering is immediate and essential.sdasda
