Over the last few years, I have contemplated many ways that TRIZ could be used in Computer Science & Information Technology http://www.triz-journal.com/archives/1999/08/d/index.htm . Since then I have successfully used TRIZ concepts to solve interesting problems and have generated 13 patent submissions. Applying TRIZ to software problems still has a way to go, however, I hope to accelerate the application of this powerful methodology to information technology and other “software-related” problems through a series of articles for the TRIZ Journal.
