12. The Profession of IT Who Are We-Now?

Author

Denning, Peter J. and Frailey, Dennis J.

Subjects
*INFORMATION technology, *PROFESSIONALIZATION, *PROFESSIONAL employees, *CERTIFICATION
Abstract

The article discusses the evolution of the information technology (IT) profession in the U.S. The authors analyze the profession by setting forth definitions for various terms including profession, professional, and discipline. They argue that the term IT is not perceived as widely encompassing and is limited to business applications of computing such as programming despite the growth of specialty fields such as cyber security, cloud computing, and networking. The authors discuss accreditation, certification and licensing in IT, which are, according to the authors, elements of a mature profession. The article gives examples of organizations requiring various certifications such as the U.S. Department of Defense and the American Society for Quality.

28. The design and use of a floating-point (software) simulator for testing the arithmetic behavior of mathematical software.

Author

Ginsberg, Myron and Frailey, Dennis J.

Abstract

An important aspect of any evaluative procedure for developing high quality mathematical software is testing the effects of arithmetic behavior on algorithmic implementations. This paper describes a proposed design approach and various applications of a high-level language floating-point simulator which has two inputs: the program to be tested and a description of the floating-point arithmetic under which the routine is to be executed. A brief discussion of the motivation for this approach is given along with a review of existing efforts to study the influences of computer arithmetic on the accuracy and reliability of mathematical software. An overview of the simulator's structure is presented as well as suggestions for experiments to assist in determining the effects of floatingpoint behavior across several different computer architectures. Present and future uses of the simulator are also indicated. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
