Abstract

This paper considers why the software community has not yet automated the process of developing software. It identifies some of the major factors which inhibit the establishment of a unifying view. The paper considers alternate views of the development process and discusses implications of each. Finally, it reviews some of the non-technical issues related to software development. This is a paper of ideas; no solutions are offered.
