Ray Panko's work (<a href="http://panko.shidler.hawaii.edu/SSR/index.htm" target="_blank">http://panko.shidler.hawaii.edu/SSR/index.htm</a>) is<br>
particularly interesting, especially the paper "What we know about spreadsheet<br>
errors" and his point that the high error rates in spreadsheets are consistent<br>
with (human) error rates in other domains.<br>
<br>
Panko's paper was used in the Msc. IT course at Abertay for group discussions on "do you use a spreadsheet or do you use a database?". This paper was really eye opening.<br></blockquote><div><br> Gordon <br>
