The American law institute's principles on software contracts and their ramifications for software engineering research (NIER track)

Abstract: The American Law Institute has recently published principles of software contracts that may have profound impact on changing the software industry. One of the principles implies a nondisclaimable liability of software vendors for any hidden material defects. In this paper, we describe the new principle, first from a legal and then from a software engineering point of view. We point out potential ramifications and research directions for the software engineering community.

“…In some communities, this has emerged as a barrier to HIS adoption and has initiated discussions and publications regarding software developer and vendor blame from a legal perspective [25, 26]. Others have determined that software vendors and their employees can be held legally accountable for harms arising from poorly designed and implemented software [1, 23, 25, 26].…”

“…Others have determined that software vendors and their employees can be held legally accountable for harms arising from poorly designed and implemented software [1, 23, 25, 26]. These publications have led some country and government organizations to begin the process of monitoring and regulating software developed in health care (e.g., United States, European Union) [3, 6].…”
