  Jackson System Development - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
JSD was described in Jackson's book System Development (1983) and in the collection of articles JSP and JSD, edited by John Cameron (1989).
Arguably, JSD was the first "object-oriented" system design method, as its basic conception of a computer system was as a network of communicating sequential processes (objects).
After 1983, Jackson was less involved in the development of JSD, and refinements in JSD were made based on experiences of JSD consultants on a variety of consulting projects.

 Jackson Software Development Methods
JSD was originally developed for use with business information systems, but was also found to be very useful for real-time embedded systems as well.
JSD implicitly assumes that it is appropriate — and that you're willing and able — to spend time thinking about — and documenting — the requirements of your system before you start hacking code.
The reason that JSD was never widely used is that there was no language that had — built right into the language features — support for basic JSD concepts such as backtracking, the suspend/resume mechanisms required by program inversion, and the ability to persist a long-running process to disk.

 Study of the Capacity of the UN Development System (Jackson REport)
Weaknesses in coordination and information systems, critical to the functioning of the UN and its programmes outside the UN system may not be detected unless the overall coordination problem is clearly determined in advance.
A systems study should examine or at least estimate the number and types of bodies with which the system in question interacts, in order to discover what such bodies supply to tie system (inputs) and what they require from the system (outputs) ‑‑ both at the present and in improved circumstances.
The effectiveness of international development programmes may be entirely dependent on links in an administrative chain or network which are in fact weakest at the national level, even further down the chain, or even in the grey area of interaction between nongovernmental and governmental bodies, or in the nongovernmental subsystem itself.

 Governance through Metaphor Project: 1.1 Significance: forms of presentation
This project of the United Nations University's Human and Social Development Programme was unique in the variety of ideologies, cultures and disciplinary backgrounds, that the participating individuals and research institutes represented.
For example, in the case of the major Capacity Study of the United Nations Development System (the "Jackson Report", 1969), the results were presented in two volumes, the first of which was a short summary volume, itself introduced by a summary.
It may be considered as an initial step towards more realistic organization of psycho-social development, cured of the tendency to "disagreement phobia" and of the desperate compensatory pursuit of agreement-promoting processes.
