Standalone Digital Magazine category, and Computer received
an honorable mention in the same category.
For more than 20 years, the Folio: Eddie & Ozzie Awards have
recognized excellence in magazine editorial and design across all
sectors of the industry. A panel of more than 300 judges narrowed
2,500 entries into a pool of roughly 800 finalists. In total, 262
awards were given out across 33 categories. The awards are broken
into four main categories: Eddies and Eddies Digital for the best
in print and digital editorial, and Ozzies and Ozzies Digital for
the best in magazine and website design.
"The award win for IEEE Software recognizes the
publication's unique contributions and impact in bridging rigorous
software engineering research with leading practices," said
Diomidis Spinellis, editor in chief of IEEE Software and a
professor in the Department of Management Science and Technology at
the Athens University of Economics
and Business.
The following are the selected publications for the 2017 Folio:
Eddie & Ozzie Awards:
IEEE Software, WINNER
Standalone
Digital Magazine; Association/Non-Profit (B-to-B) -
Standalone Digital Magazine - less than 6 issues (Eddies
Digital).
The winning issue for IEEE Software is the
November/December 2016 issue, "The
Role of the Software Architect," which focuses on the changing role
and responsibilities of the software architect. Highlights of this
special issue include the following:
- A column by IBM Fellow Grady Booch, one of the original authors
of UML, titled "Once upon a Time," which discusses the creation
stories and myths of computing. An audio recording of the author
reading his article is at youtu.be/S06HKTobvVM.
- Five peer-reviewed technical articles focusing on the role of
the software architect in diverse domains, including vehicle
software, embedded software, and telecommunications. The two
surveys and three case studies are written by practitioners, joint
teams of practitioners and academics, and academics studying the
practice's state of the art. Each article discusses the architect's
shifting role and responsibilities, which have become broader and
more complex.
- An article in the Requirements department in which the authors
discuss how smart healthcare needs to take into account the human
factor of caring, as new and exciting healthcare applications that
leverage the Internet of Things and other technologies can
disassociate the caregiver from the patient. An audio recording of
one of the authors reading the article is
at youtu.be/bDyZ2geRyJE.
- A look at software developed by Neemu (a start-up created in
the heart of the Amazon rainforest), which demonstrates alternative
economic development that has a low environmental impact.
- An opinion piece in the Pragmatic Architect department, in
which the author presents his view on the evolution of
architecture. He identifies five ages of software systems and five
corresponding stages of software architects, and calls out six
future trends for architecting practices.
- A portion of an interview with HashiCorp's James Phillips, who works on the open source
service discovery tool Consul. Phillips and interviewer
Charles Anderson discuss the
increasing importance of service discovery in the construction of
scalable, elastic, and always-on distributed systems. The entire
interview is
