The Perspectives of this Special Issue
As an important component of the information systems that support infrastructure of business enterprises and of society, software has achieved an evolution. Also, flexible and scalable architectures and technologies, such as SOA (Service Oriented Architecture), should be introduced so that large-scale and complicated information systems can quickly respond to changes in the business and the market. Open Standards, Open Source, and Open Architectures will enable the achievement of flexible IT systems. IBM has been actively investing in this area as its Open Strategy. For instance, Eclipse was offered as Open Source and it has succeeded as a Java integration development environment and a rich client platform. These results are delivered not only to IBM software product, but also in cases where application development services with Open Source Software are used.
New software development methods like Open Source Development and Community Driven Development were derived from the best practices of community power and successful experiences of Open Source activities. New technologies have been efficiently invented through iterative discussions and feedback by community experts who have gathered from all over the world and used Web2.0 tools. "Jazz™" and "ProjectZero" introduced Community Driven Development, feedback from external users has been taken, and the functionality and quality of "Jazz" and "ProjectZero" have been improved since the early stages of product development.
This special issue introduces a new software technology, and a software development tool and method which enable software technologies to be invented. IBM is actively publishing various information on the latest technology. We particularly hope this issue will deepen understanding of changes in software technology.
