Summarizing an example in Conway's paper, Raymond wrote: If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler. [4] [5] Raymond further presents Tom Cheatham's amendment of Conway's Law, stated as: If a group of N persons implements a COBOL compiler, there will be N−1 passes. Someone in the group has to be the manager. [4]
Communicative planning is an approach to urban planning that gathers stakeholders and engages them in a process to make decisions together in a manner that respects the positions of all involved. [1] It is also sometimes called collaborative planning among planning practitioners or collaborative planning model.
COBOL (/ ˈ k oʊ b ɒ l,-b ɔː l /; an acronym for "common business-oriented language") is a compiled English-like computer programming language designed for business use. It is an imperative, procedural, and, since 2002, object-oriented language.
Use of IBM COBOL was so widespread that Capex Corporation, an independent software vendor, made a post-code generation phase object code optimizer for it. [3] The Capex Optimizer became a quite successful product. [4] Although the IBM COBOL Compiler Family web site [5] only mentions AIX, Linux, and z/OS, IBM still offers COBOL on z/VM and z/VSE.
When communication is thorough, accurate, and timely, the organization tends to be vibrant and effective. [3] Communication is central to the entire management process for four primary reasons: Communication is a linking process of management. Communication is the primary means by which people obtain and exchange information.
The "set", the basic structure of the CODASYL database model. A set consists of one owner record and n member records (these are labeled as "parent" and "child" in the diagram, but the CODASYL terminology is "owner" and "member"). In the above example, we were looking at a basic set which embodies a 1:N (Owner:Member) relationship. [1]
Primary, alternate, contingency and emergency (PACE) is a methodology used to build a communication plan. [1] The method requires the author to determine the different stakeholders or parties that need to communicate and then determine, if possible, the best four, different, redundant forms of communication between each of those parties.
First introduced in the late 1950s, Fortran, ALGOL, and COBOL are examples of early 3GLs. Most popular general-purpose languages today, such as C , C++ , C# , Java , and BASIC , are also third-generation languages, although each of these languages can be further subdivided into other categories based on other contemporary traits.
