Abstract

Hardware and software technologies have evolved greatly throughout the history of computing. This paper illustrates some of those differences by comparing a modern approach to information systems design to the papers presented in a 1982 conference that showed 13 different software design methodologies applied to the problem of creating an information system to manage a technical conference, including submission and review of technical papers and overall organization of the conference. Those solutions predated the World Wide Web, the advent of personal computers, graphical user interfaces, agile development methodologies, and various modern tools. The goal of this paper is to create the same application, taking advantage of four decades of advances in methodologies and tools.
