Abstract

IEEE Software Editor-in-Chief Forrest Shull discusses the importance of having and applying professional principles in all facets of software development while also keeping them in perspective. He cites work by Philippe Kruchten, Ellen Gottesdiener and Mary Gorman to support his position. In addition, he welcomes Dr. Adam Welc to the IEEE Software Editorial Board and discusses the 2012 African Conference on Software Engineering and Applied Computing. The first Web extra at http://youtu.be/R5zUHUFEB7k is an audio interview of IEEE Software editor-in-chief Forrest Shull speaking with Ellen Gottesdiener and Mary Gorman about requirements management in an agile context. The second Web extra at http://youtu.be/SSO6td0xzkI is an audio interview of IEEE Software editor-in-chief Forrest Shull speaking with Philippe Kruchten about how software engineers can be misled by their own cognitive biases, falacial reasoning, and the games architects and requirements managers play.
