The uniqueness of software errors and their impact on global policy
Science and Engineering Ethics 4 (3):351-356 (1998)
| Abstract | The types of errors that emerge in the development and maintenance of software are essentially different from the types of errors that emerge in the development and maintenance of engineered hardware products. There is a set of standard responses to actual and potential hardware errors, including: engineering ethics codes, engineering practices, corporate policies and laws. The essential characteristics of software errors require new ethical, policy, and legal approaches to the development of software in the global arena. | |||||||||
