Andre Oboler, David McG. Squire and Kevin B. Korb,
Why don't we practice what we teach? Engineering Software
for Computer Science Research in Academia.
Tech. Rep. 2003/139, School of Computer Science and Software Engineering,
Monash University, 900 Dandenong Road, Caulfield, Victoria 3145, Australia, 2003.
The development process used by researchers often seems to
be random and unsystematic. A Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is
often not considered, internal commenting is scarce, and external
documentation takes the form of erasure marks left on whiteboards.
Configuration management is paid lip-service, but is not standard
practice. This paper examines some reasons behind the apparent
large-scale non-adoption of software engineering in academic research.
We also look at the effects on some projects where it was adopted.
Finally we present a new SDLC designed for the academic research
environment, and suggest an organizational structure to maximize the
benefit to research students, academics, and the institution.
