Increasing the importance of software in products

Description:

Future products will use more software and be more complex those of today. In product development software is the most economical and reliable way to implement almost any sophisticated functions. Software is now a critical element of computers, television sets, cell phones, and automobiles. (from "The winning of software" : Watts Humphrey) Below picture can show the typical example. Today, the 80% of aircraft functionality is up to software. SW Aircraft.jpg

Enablers:

● The volume of software grow...

  - more applications
  - more users for each application
  - more code required per application 

Inhibitors:

● Cost, schedule, and quality problems will be worse with larger systems

Paradigms:

Future products will use more software and be more complex those of today. In product development software is the most economical and reliable way to implement almost any sophisticated functions. Software is now a critical element of computers, television sets, cell phones, and automobiles. (from "The winning of software" : Watts Humphrey) Below picture can show the typical example.
