CAREER: An Organizational Learning Approach to Software Development

这个职业项目的研究部分试图为软件开发的组织学习方法开发一个概念框架和原型。该项目涉及知识在发展组织中出现时的编纂问题。目标是一种可以作为软件产品和开发过程持续改进的基础的形式。正在开发领域生命周期方法，将重点从单个项目转移到组织开发的反复出现的设计问题和解决方案上。这项研究是基于对一个大型软件开发组织的经验观察。项目目标包括：(1)创建结合组织学习工具的基于重用的软件开发方法；(2)开发从单个案例到设计指南的领域知识，以支持面向领域的设计；(3)使用基于案例的技术开发支持组织学习的原型系统；(4)根据对真实世界开发项目的研究和对支持组织学习的原型的评估，提供一系列经验结果。这个项目的教育目标是：(1)开发用于教授软件设计概念的主动学习技术；(2)通过组织学习技术来激发终身学习。虽然组织学习与本项目的研究部分相结合，但通过开发多媒体设计工作室来探索主动学习技术，以教授软件设计概念。

The research portion of this CAREER project seeks to develop a conceptual framework and prototypes for an organizational learning approach to software development. The project addresses the codification of knowledge as it emerges in development organizations. The goal is a form that can be used as the basis for the continual improvement of software products and the development process. A domain lifecycle methodology is being developed that shifts the focus from individual projects to recurring design problems and solutions developed by an organization. The research is based on empirical observations of a large software development organization. Project goals include: (1) Creation of reuse-based software development methodologies incorporating organizational learning tools; (2) Development of domain knowledge from individual cases to design guidelines to formal reasoning systems supporting domain-oriented design; (3) Development of prototype systems using case-based technology to support organizational learning; (4) Provision of a body of empirical results based on studies of real world development projects and evaluations of prototypes supporting organizational learning. The educational goals of this project are to: (1) develop active learning techniques for teaching software design concepts; (2) stimulate lifelong learning through organizational learning techniques. While organizational learning is integrated with the research portion of this project, active learning techniques are explored through the development of a multimedia design studio for teaching software design concepts.
