Emerging Methods Technologies And Process Management In Software Engineering

A high-level introduction to new technologies andmethods in the field of software engineering Recent years have witnessed rapid evolution of software engineering methodologies, and until now, there has been no single-source introduction to emerging technologies in the field. Written by a panel of experts and divided into four clear parts, Emerging Methods, Technologies, and Process Management in SoftwareEngineering covers: Software Architectures – Evolution of software composition mechanisms; compositionality in software product lines; and teaching design patterns Emerging Methods – The impact of agent-oriented software engineering in service-oriented computing; testing object-oriented software; the UML and formal methods; and modern Web application development Technologies for Software Evolution – Migrating to Web services and software evolution analysis and visualization Process Management – Empirical experimentation in software engineering and foundations of agile methods Emerging Methods, Technologies, and Process Management in Software Engineering is a one-stop resource for software engineering practitioners and professionals, and also serves as an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students alike.

Software engineering has advanced rapidly in recent years in parallel with the complexity and scale of software systems. New requirements in software systems yield innovative approaches that are developed either through introducing new paradigms or extending the capabilities of well-established approaches. Modern Software Engineering Concepts and Practices: Advanced Approaches provides emerging theoretical approaches and their practices. This book includes case studies and real-world practices and presents a range of advanced approaches to reflect various perspectives in the discipline.

Over the past decade, there has been an increase in attention and focus on the discipline of software engineering. Software engineering tools and techniques have been developed to gain more predictable quality improvement results. Process standards such as Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), ISO 9000, Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination (SPICE), Agile Methodologies, and others have been proposed to assist organizations to achieve more predictable results by incorporating these proven standards and procedures into their software process. Software Process Improvement and Management: Approaches and Tools for Practical Development offers the latest research and case studies on software engineering and development. The production of new process standards assist organizations and software engineers in adding a measure of predictability to the software process. Companies can gain a decisive competitive advantage by applying these new and theoretical methodologies in real-world scenarios. Researchers, scholars, practitioners, students, and anyone interested in the field of software development and design should access this book as a major compendium of the latest research in the field.

This book presents a set of software engineering techniques and tools to improve the productivity and assure the quality in quantum software development. Through the collaboration of the software engineering community with the quantum computing community new architectural paradigms for quantum-enabled computing systems will be anticipated and developed. The book starts with a chapter that introduces the main concepts and general foundations related to quantum computing. This is followed by a number of chapters dealing with the quantum software engineering methods and techniques. Topics like the Talavera Manifesto for quantum software engineering, frameworks for hybrid systems, formal methods for quantum software engineering, quantum software modelling languages, and reengineering for quantum software are covered in this part. A second set of chapters then deals with quantum software environments and tools, detailing platforms like QuantumPath®, Classiq as well as quantum software frameworks for deep learning. Overall, the book aims at academic researchers and practitioners involved in the creation of quantum information systems and software platforms. It is assumed that readers have a background in traditional software engineering and information systems.

This handbook incorporates new developments in automation. It also presents a widespread and well-structured conglomeration of new emerging application areas, such as medical systems and health, transportation, security and maintenance, service, construction and retail as well as production or logistics. The handbook is not only an ideal resource for automation experts but also for people new to this expanding field.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th Software Quality Days Conference, SWQD 2017, held in Vienna, Austria, in January 2017. The SWQD conference offers a range of comprehensive and valuable information by presenting new ideas from the latest research papers, keynote speeches by renowned academics and industry leaders, professional lectures, exhibits, and tutorials. The 4 full papers and 7 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: model-driven development and configuration management; software development and quality assurance; software quality assurance in industry; crowdsourcing in software engineering; software testing and traceability; and process improvement. The book also contains one keynote talk in full paper length.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the SIGSAND/PLAIS EuroSymposium 2016 titled Information Systems: Development, Research, Applications, Education, held in Gdansk and Sopot, Poland, on September 29, 2016. The objective of this symposium is to promote and develop high-quality research on all issues related to systems analysis and design (SAND). It provides a forum for SAND researchers and practitioners in Europe and beyond to interact, collaborate, and develop their field. The 14 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 submissions. They are organized in topical sections on information systems development, information systems management, and information systems learning.

This handbook provides a unique and in-depth survey of the current state-of-the-art in software engineering, covering its major topics, the conceptual genealogy of each subfield, and discussing future research directions. Subjects include foundational areas of software engineering (e.g. software processes, requirements engineering, software architecture, software testing, formal methods, software maintenance) as well as emerging areas (e.g., self-adaptive systems, software engineering in the cloud, coordination technology). Each chapter includes an introduction to central concepts and principles, a guided tour of seminal papers and key contributions, and promising future research directions. The authors of the individual chapters are all acknowledged experts in their field and include many who have pioneered the techniques and technologies discussed. Readers will find an authoritative and concise review of each subject, and will also learn how software engineering technologies have evolved and are likely to develop in the years to come. This book will be especially useful for researchers who are new to software engineering, and for practitioners seeking to enhance their skills and knowledge.
