IBMers and customers discuss the changing landscape of software development. Smarter products are requiring developers to create more complex software, so tools like requirements management and testing software are becoming more integral. New software development processes are increasingly including customer input, so the product and the customer are entwined throughout the product lifecycle.

[Charles Krueger BigLever Software]
Products today are increasingly sophisticated, innovative and complex.

[Scott Hebner IBM]
So if you think about the challenges of these product manufacturers, is they used to have to worry about building it and getting users to actually use it. But now they not only have to build it get users to use it but now they have to manage all his interactions with all these other products that they dont control.

[Eugene Sherman Elbit Systems]
A few years ago our customers expected to have the products developed in a few years today in a few months.

[Tom Hawk IBM]
Manufactures that are very good at material sciences and manufacturing processes around hardware are not necessarily effective and good at developing software.

[Mik Kersten, CEO OF Tasktop Technologies]
The biggest development challenge is the size of systems that developers have to work with today

[Pete Osborne Curtiss Wright]
Our biggest development challenge is keeping all of the developers across all the sites working off the same song sheet the same page.

[Principal Engineer, Major Aerospace Company]
The biggest challenge we face is verification — being able to show in the data that weve built what the customer asked for.

[Jane Steeves Merge Healthcare]
biggest development challenge is consistency

[Steve Norton Oxford International]
So what if the customer is part of the process from initial order through manufacturing through distribution around the world to his front door step you have a customer for life.

[(Pete Osborne)]
So with our set of rational tools, were able to go from cradle to grave from the requirements through the change requests down to the code base and back up and we can prove that weve met our customer requirements.
[Shafique Dawood ITE College Central]
We have more automated tools these days that lead to greater traceability in terms of the quality of the software that we are looking at these days as well.

[Nijs Blokland Sogeti]
We have to test systems before theyre going to be built
[Neeraj Chandra IBM]
One of the unique aspects in the smarter products – the commercial products and our consumer lives are completely intertwined.

[unkown]
Peoples lives depend on these devices so failure is not an option.

MM Lee: Next 5 to 10 years the most promising for S’pore
By Bryan Lee, Economics Correspondent

THE Singapore economy may be facing both immediate and long-term challenges but Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew thinks the next five to 10 years will be the most promising in the country’s history.

In fact, the economy could still grow by as much as 8 per cent a year – a rapid clip for a developed nation – as efforts to transform Singapore into an international and cosmopolitan city pay off.

‘We are moving to a new plateau, a new platform. You can see it visibly before your eyes,’ said Mr Lee last night at the annual dinner of the Economic Society of Singapore.

‘If there are no big recessions worldwide, growth can easily be 4 to 6 per cent, maybe 7 to 8 per cent.’

Mr Lee’s optimism for the local economy comes even as gross domestic product growth in the second quarter slumped to its worst in five years.

A slowing US economy and accelerating inflation are taking their toll, while structural issues such as an ageing population and a widening income divide loom in the horizon. ‘The point is that we have got enormous options,’ he said.

He described to a packed Ritz Carlton Hotel ballroom his recent drive around the Marina Bay area, which is being developed as a new business district as well as the site for one of Singapore’s two integrated resorts. ‘It will be a beautiful city… in 10 years, it will be wonderful.’

Still, there is no room for complacency, given Singapore’s lack of natural resources, he warned.

In fact, he said that retaining human talent is a big challenge: ‘The biggest problem Singapore faces is that we have educated the Singaporean in English to the best of world standards. We have made him viable, employable anywhere in the world.’

This outflow is more than offset by an influx of ‘even larger numbers of bright people from the region’. But a majority of ‘born and bred Singaporeans’ is still needed to ensure the new immigrants are rooted here.

‘You need 65 per cent of the population to be born and bred Singaporeans, steeped with the culture, steeped with instincts of what a Singaporean is. They will slowly influence the migrants who join us to become like us.’

After Mr Lee’s comments, prizes for an annual essay writing competition organised by the society and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) were given out.

National University of Singapore undergraduate Ishita Dhamani won first prize in the university category while former Anglo-Chinese Junior College student John Ying, who is in national service, came up tops in the pre-university category.

ANOTHER SITUATION WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE FORCED TO STAND UP TO THE DEVELOPERS AND THEIR ALLIES, BY OCCUPYING LAND THAT IS TO BE DEVOLPED-CODE FOR DECIMATED I’DE SAY. THERE LOTS OF BROWN FIELDS THAT COULD BE CLEANED UP AND USED BUT THE CITY’S AND DEVOLPERS DONT WANT TO ICCUR THE COSTS SO OUR FUTURE WILL, OUR CHILDREN WILL, OUR EARTHS ECOLOGY WILL. WHEN ARE THE SO CALLED LEADERS GOING TO GET IT-BUSINESS AS USUAL IS DEAD…… THE NORM MUST BE CHANGED….AND THESE ARE SOME OF THE PEOPLE AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE CHANGE! SUPPORT THEM-EVEN IF IT MUST BE FROM THE SHADOWS SUPPORT THESE INITATIVES.
PLEASE RESEARCH THEN SUPPORT PEOPLE LIKE THESE THAT ARE ON THE FRONT LINES.
THE SIMILARITIES TO MY BELOVED REDHILL VALLEY IS UNBELIEVABLE-THE SYSTEM HAS A HANDBOOK OF TOOLS THEY USE AGAINST US ACTIVISTS, WE WHO ARE WILLING TO PUT ALL ON THE LINE FOR OUR BELIEFS. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. WAS ARRESTED 30 TIMES BY THE POWERS OF HIS DAY, THE SUFFERGETTES WERE ARRESTED WHILE THEY TRIED TO CHANGE WOMENS OPPRESSION. I FIND IT ODD THAT IN A DEMOCRACY THE SYSTEM USES ALL ITS RESOURCES GIVEN BY THE PEOPLE TO FIGHT THE PEOPLE, I THINK? THEY SHOULD HAVE TO GIVE THE PEOPLE ACCESS TO THE PEOPLES MONIES TO ENSURE AN EQUAL DEBATE.
