Software Engineering Articles by Gene Callahan

I seem to have lost this page during a re-structuring of my site. Furthermore, most of the magazines with which I published these pieces seem to have changed the structure of their web sites, so that the links I formerly used are not available, and article access may now require registration. I am re-building it as I can find the time. What follows is my best effort to date.

My article, "Calming corporate immune systems: overcoming risk aversion," co-authored with Gifford Pinchot, is anthologized in the book, Constantine, Larry L.(ed.) Beyond Chaos: The Expert Edge in Managing Software Development., ACM Press Addison-Wesley (Boston: 2001), ISBN 0-201-71960-6.
