July CACM: Google's Hybrid Approach to Research
http://j.mp/MHnvr0 (CACM)
"In this viewpoint, we describe how we organize computer science
research at Google. We focus on how we integrate research and
development and discuss the benefits and risks of our approach. The
challenge in organizing R&D is great because CS is an increasingly
broad and diverse field. It combines aspects of mathematical
reasoning, engineering methodology, and the empirical approaches of
the scientific method. The empirical components are clearly on the
upswing, in part because the computer systems we construct have become
so large that analytic techniques cannot properly describe their
properties, because the systems now dynamically adjust to the
difficult-to-predict needs of a diverse user community, and because
the systems can learn from vast datasets and large numbers of
interactive sessions that provide continuous feedback."
