Risk Swap

NOTE: this page appears to be a stub, just like on Wikipedia. Please, somebody who knows what they're talking about -- flesh this thing out, willya? It's a dozen years old and has had no value added to it!

Perhaps you'll take note of the request that somebody who "knows what they're talking about" make some additions? Does that not make sense? If a Wiki page about real time OSes needs updating I'd prefer that a real time engineer make the changes rather than some IT guy whose experience is limited to Cobol try to "do the research" and make those changes. Why not here?


One way to view negotiation is as a swap of risk between the parties. The bank thinks writing software is risky. The developer thinks making money is risky. They swap these risks.

There are different forms of contract that move the risk around in different ways.
