Summary: Request for information on contracting
Date: Sat, 7 Nov 1992 16:43:29 GMT
Organization: PANIX Public Access Unix, NYC
Keywords: Contracting Consulting Outsourcing Employees

Hello everyone, I am doing my MBA thesis for school on the use of
computer consultants (or contract programmers) versus the use of
employees for computer projects.  I have done much of the preliminary
research necessary, but I would like to talk/type with some "real"
consultants (or employees) regarding their eperiences.

The questions that are on my mind pertain
(a) to how much the difference is between the pay of a programmer
    and the pay of a consultant.
(b) The effectiveness of the consultants (any disaster stories, or
    glory stories would be nice)
(c) Companies that refuse to hire consultants (and any reasons you
    may know why).
(d) Companies that hire consultants all the time.
(e) Company policies regarding the hiring of consultants.
(f) Other places where you think I could get information regarding
    consultants (maybe other newsgroups?).
(g) I'm also throwing in the use of outsourcing to add filler to the
    document, so if there are any stories about this, I would be
    appreciative as well.

If any of you are kind enough to reply, you may either post a message
or email me directly (mitchf@panix.com).  Any information you give me
will be held with strict confidence of you wish.

Thanks.

So does anyone have any experience about how they are graded? I can make
a few educated guesses about this, but there are some that are sufficiently 
obscure enough to confuse a Nobel Laureate.

Also, the original poster's followup stated that the 20 questions only
deal with the third party relationship between a consultant and a job
shop going to a company. I can't believe that this loophole would exist,
because 1706 was supported by the job shops, but it would sure solve some
problems if it is true.

Any definite answers here?

Thanks,

Wrong, at least since CCNV. See the work for hire discussion herein. 
What "shop right" may give you is a non-exclusive license to use
the work in the mode comptemplated by the parties. Thus, you 
probably cannot hire a contractor to write software for use in
your company, then turn around and sell the software to others.
However, you are probably ok if the original intent was to sell 
the software to others. (As allways, the law depends on the 
specific facts). Note also, that all of the above and more can
be modified by contract.

To somewhat I disagree. I feel that the original intent of the parties as
to the use of the software by the contractor is of primary concern. Use
of their facilities is but one factor taken into account by CCNV.

Research Fellow and Senior Research Assistant

A Generic Program Refinement Tool

Software Verification Research Centre
Department of Computer Science
The University of Queensland

The Software Verification Research Centre is a Special Research Centre
of the Australian Research Council.  Its mission is to create improved
methods and tools, of industrial significance, for developing verified
software.

A new project to develop a generic program refinement tool
will begin in 1993. Two positions (both for one year initially)
are available commencing in January 1993 or as soon as possible
thereafter.

This project aims to develop a generic tool for the interactive
development of software, based on the refinement methodology
of Morgan, Back and Morris. The task involves:
  - extending existing approaches to support data refinement,
  - building the user interface on top of a generic language-based
    editor,
  - establishing close coupling with a proof system to 
    discharge obligations arising when applying refinement rules.

Research Fellow: applicants should have a PhD with a strong
interest in formal methods of software development. Experience
with the refinement calculus is highly desirable as is knowledge
relevant to the design of software support tools.

Senior Research Assistant: applicants should have a good Honours
degree in Computer Science or a cognate discipline such as discrete
mathematics or logic together with a significant background in
Computer Science. Familiarity with formal methods is highly desirable.

Salary ranges:
	Research Fellow: AU$41,000 -- AU$48,688
	Senior Research Assistant: AU$27,375 -- AU$34,034

For further information on either position, contact

Dr David Carrington (Ph: +61 7 365 3310 email: davec@cs.uq.oz.au)
