Abstract
This talk aims at providing an overview of my experience with
software development projects in the industry world and how this could
inform choices about applied research in Computer Science and Software
Engineering.
In the overview I will focus on aspects that demonstrates how the complexity
of software projects is not only inherent to the (technical) problems but
depends also on inadequate work practices. The needed improvement could
hopefully be facilitated by properly addressed Software Engineering and
Computer Science research. In particular I will argue for the benefits that
application of concurrency theory ideas, in particular concurrent process
modelling, design and analysis, could bring to system requirements
understanding and software design and implementation. Examples of similar
initiatives originated in the software industry world will be hinted at.
