ABSTRACT
The importance of the study of history is to understand the forces which produce the events. Thus possibilities and prospects for the future may be better understood and evaluated. The development of historical perspectives as opposed to a historical record seems to have advantages in achieving that goal. This is especially true of programming where the award of historical "firsts" seems to be difficult at best.

Prelude to cultural software agents: cultural backgrounds in agent simulation
SpringSim '08: Proceedings of the 2008 Spring simulation multiconferenceThe aim is to glean appropriate theories and pragmatic findings on human culture and explore ways in which they can be embedded on the decision making of advanced software agents. For this purpose, bases for fuzzy computational agents to represent ...
Cross-cultural software production and use: a structurational analysis
This paper focuses on cross-cultural software production and use, which is increasingly common in today's more globalized world. A theoretical basis for analysis is developed, using concepts drawn from structuration theory. The theory is illustrated ...
