Structural Problems of Software Industries in
Japan
ltindustriesgt
ltacademiagt
Malfunction of payment systems of leading banks
A defect in embedded SW systems in mobile
phones ? large- scale recall
Software Users
USER no clear req. definition, no capability
of evaluation
no environment to produce practical and
skilled talents
Central/ local governments
Manufactures
Financial Business
VENDOR rough estimate ?TROUBLES!
Contracts by size and efforts, but not with the
value of SW
Discrepancy in public traffic system
univs.
Software Vendors
Vendors have little incentive for quality
productivity improvement
weak partnership
big enterprises 10-20
prime contractors
estimate on MAN-MONTH
Market Size 13.7 trillion JY
national institutes
Weakening the JPN S/W industry by the rise of
tow-cost, yet high performance Asian industries
partner companies
Employees 560,000
SMEs approx.5600
Japan strength Japan is recognizing what to
do to strengthen the filed of the integration
with HW, i.e., embedded SW

Areas of SEC activities

• 1. A. Basic research type looking for
  application in 10 years and beyond
• Candidates in the current academic works
• 2. B. Application research type currently
  getting benefits from A
• Candidates from the usage surveys in the
  industry
• 3. C. Promising application type identifying
  those are heavily piloted currently and to be
  more used within a few years.
• Candidates from the interviews and surveys
  in the industry.
• Survey of the academic works are against the
  digital libraries of IEEE, ACM and others.
• Surveys and interviews are against the
  leading software engineering practitioners and
  academia.

Validations of SEC activities

• 1. To list those of continuous watching,
  studying, piloting, and discussions within a
  selected members of SEC researchers, the academia
  and the industry.
• 2. To categorize the above with types mentioned
  above as the Y-axis and as for the X-axis, use
  the process areas defined in the ISO/IEC 12207.
• 3. To cross-check the above chart with SWEBOK to
  see if all of them have been identified in the
  SWEBOK work.
• 4. From the above, pick up any SW engineering
  technologies to be further pursued by
  working/study group individually.
• 5. To map the chart mentioned at 2. with those
  being carried out or to be carried out at SEC.
