Abstract

A collection of essays on the interrelationship of social science and software practice. Software practice—which includes software development, design, and use—needs to go beyond the traditional engineering framework. Drawing on a variety of social theory approaches, this book focuses on interdisciplinary cooperation in software practice. The topics discussed include the facilitation of collaborative software development, communication between developers and users, and the embedding of software systems in organizations.
