Characteristics of Spreadsheets Developed with the SSMI Methodology
This addresses spreadsheet errors for users in education and training, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing methodology without introducing new paradigms.
The paper describes the characteristics of spreadsheets developed using the SSMI methodology and shows how they help reduce error-causing factors.
The SSMI methodology was developed using concepts from Computer Science, Software Engineering and Information Systems and has been taught to undergraduate and MBA students and in Executive training seminars. In this paper, we describe the major characteristics of the spreadsheets developed using the methodology and show how they contribute to reduce many error causing factors.
