Resumen de Software Engineering Mirages
The current work presents a heuristic-diachronic analysis of software engineering in the Southern Mediterranean. The study includes universities and firms directly or indirectly related to the software sector. In it are presented the notion of “the funnel fritter system” to demonstrate through real examples the consequences of the human factors inside computer science and the economic consequences for the normal functioning and the continuous growth of the information and communication technology sector. Through this notion in combination wi th real examples it will be made apparent that the current sector of theoretical research in software engineering in the emerging markets is in fact a mirage both in the universities and outside of them. The reason for this is that research, educational and development centres are not only far away from reality, but which constitute obsolete models or antimodels for the emerging markets or countries.
