Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 10, Problem 10.3E
Explanation of Solution
Dependable Systems and Socio-technical systems:
Dependable system is the system in which the software is developed using dependable process to reduce errors and avoid failure.
A complex organization design that recognizes the interaction between technology and people and is not limited only to software is known as socio-technical system.
It is important when developing dependable systems to consider these as socio-technical systems and not simply as technical software and hardware systems because:
- A socio-technical system considers requirements spanning hardware, software, personal, and community aspects and applies an understanding of the social structures, roles and rights to inform the design of systems that involve communities of people and technology and it is a dependable process and also reduces errors and avoid failure...

- When creating models of software-intensive systems, how should points of view be taken into account?arrow_forwardAnalyzing systems entails deducing the goals of a method or organisation and then developing the structures and policies that will bring those goals to fruition. It's important to keep in mind the aforementioned. Do you have any questions concerning how systems are analysed?arrow_forwardWhat perspectives should be considered while creating models for software-intensive systems?arrow_forward
- Computer Science Which is an advantage of the joint application design (JAD) approach? a. It provides a method for investigating an environment in which a problem is poorly defined and information is difficult to gather. b. It improves communication among users, top management, and information systems personnel because seeing a concrete model often prompts potential users of the system to ask questions, express opinions, and so forth. C. It incorporates varying viewpoints from different functional areas of an organization to help ensure that collected requirements for an application is not too narrow or one-dimensional in focus. d. It reduces the need to train information system users and increases the system's chance of success by encouraging users' involvement.arrow_forwardExplain why legacy systems, rather than only software systems built using old technology, should be categorised as sociotechnical systems.arrow_forwardHow should software-intensive system models be seen and treated?arrow_forward
- How should models of software-intensive systems be built, and from what perspectives?arrow_forwardMethods from the past, present, and future of analyzing systems to determine their needs are compared and contrasted. Does it ever make sense to use any of the examined tactics, and what are the drawbacks of doing so?arrow_forwardSuggest the most appropriate generic software process model that might be used as a basis for managing the development of the following systems. Explain your answer according to the type of system being developed: A system to control antilock braking in a car A virtual reality system to support software maintenance A university accounting system that replaces an existing system An interactive travel planning system that helps users plan journeys with the lowest environmental impactarrow_forward
- What factors should be taken into account, and how should they be handled, when creating models for systems? software-intensivearrow_forwardRecognize and distinguish between the primary tools and methodologies utilized in the creation of systems.arrow_forwardExplain the contrasts that exist between system prototyping and throwaway prototyping, as well as the commonalities that exist between the two types of prototype.arrow_forward
