Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “2010 IBM Rational Innovate Conference: Software for Systems of Systems Moves into the Spotlight” report to their offering.
The 2010 IBM Rational User Conference, IBM Innovate, took place in Orlando, Florida, from June 6-10. The size of the event has doubled in the past five years, per IBM, and this tallies with Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) research findings indicating that overall interest in software development is at an all time high. Businesses are making the link between software quality and consequent reductions in ongoing support costs. As a result, software development is being viewed more as a discipline, and less as a series of ad-hoc, disconnected activities and projects.
At the same time, the focus of application development has changed as well. It has been expanded beyond business software and into the mobile and embedded software markets, systems of systems within devices and products. As a result, software development has become a critical path component of the product manufacturing process.
IBM made multiple announcements at this years event that reinforce these observations. A grand scheme for a new city was unveiled, as were a set of product offerings, licensing options, and frameworks designed to simplify the coordination and successful completion of integrated product/software development lifecycles.
