Implementation of Computer Systems: Case Studies of Applications (Ellis Horwood series in information technology) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Much attention has been focused to date on the design and development of large computer systems. Little has hitherto been devoted to the development of small systems, an imbalance remedied by this well integrated and attractive presentation of several small computer system case studies. It discusses a wide range of projects which benefit from various common features and discusses the increased viability of such projects due to cheaper computer hardware. The authors identify the features salient for the design of small systems in general, together with an overview of the concepts and detailed consideration of the development phase with an explanation of analysis, design and implementation. Also covered is the availability of tools which have been developed and a presentation of different balances of development costs and differential paybacks for software and maintenance costs. The text has been designed for systems analysts, data processing professionals and project managers.
