Appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate introductory software engineering courses found in Computer Science and Computer Engineering departments. This text provides selective, in-depth coverage of the fundamentals of software engineering by stressing principles and methods through rigorous formal and informal approaches. The authors emphasize, identify, and apply fundamental principles that are applicable throughout the software lifecycle, in contrast to other texts which are based in the lifecycle model of software development. This emphasis enables students to respond to the rapid changes in technology that are common today.

Practical Handbook to understand the hidden language of computer hardware and software DESCRIPTION This book teaches the essentials of software engineering to anyone who wants to become an active and independent software engineer expert. It covers all the software engineering fundamentals without forgetting a few vital advanced topics such as software engineering with artificial intelligence, ontology, and data mining in software engineering. The primary goal of the book is to introduce a limited number of concepts and practices which will achieve the following two objectives: Teach students the skills needed to execute a smallish commercial project. Provide students with the necessary conceptual background for undertaking advanced studies in software engineering through courses or on their own. KEY FEATURES - This book contains real-time executed examples along with case studies. - Covers advanced technologies that are intersectional with software engineering. - Easy and simple language, crystal clear approach, and straight forward comprehensible presentation. - Understand what architecture design involves, and where it fits in the full software development life cycle. - Learning and optimizing the critical relationships between analysis and design. - Utilizing proven and reusable design primitives and adapting them to specific problems and contexts. WHAT WILL YOU LEARN This book includes only those concepts that we believe are foundational. As executing a software project requires skills in two dimensionsÑengineering and project managementÑthis book focuses on crucial tasks in these two dimensions and discuss the concepts and techniques that can be applied to execute these tasks effectively.Ê WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR The book is primarily intended to work as a beginnerÕs guide for Software Engineering in any undergraduate or postgraduate program. It is directed towards students who know the program but have not had formal exposure to software engineering. The book can also be used by teachers and trainers who are in a similar stateÑthey know some programming but want to be introduced to the systematic approach of software engineering.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Fundamentals of Software Engineering, FSEN 2021, held virtually and hosted by IPM in May 2021. The 12 full papers and 4 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. The topics of interest in FSEN span over all aspects of formal methods, especially those related to advancing the application of formal methods in the software industry and promoting their integration with practical engineering techniques. The papers are organized in topical sections on coordination, logic, networks, parallel computation, and testing.

The discipline of engineering which focuses on building robust software systems is termed as software engineering. The primary objective of software engineering is to create solutions which are able to meet their users' requirements. Software engineering is applied to small, medium and large-scale organizations. It utilizes engineering methods, processes, and techniques to create effective software solutions. According to the availability of resources, software development can be done by a team or an individual. Network control systems, operating systems, computer games and business applications are some common applications of software engineering. Software design, software development, software testing and software maintenance are few of its various sub-fields. Changing technology and new areas of specialization are evolving this field at a rapid pace. The topics included in this book on software engineering are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, it makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. For all those who are interested in software engineering, this book can prove to be an essential guide.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Fundamentals of Software Engineering, FSEN 2017, held in Tehran, Iran, in April 2017. The 16 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 49 submissions. The topics of interest in FSEN span over all aspects of formal methods, especially those related to advancing the application of formal methods in software industry and promoting their integration with practical engineering techniques.

This textbook presents a concise introduction to the fundamental principles of software engineering, together with practical guidance on how to apply the theory in a real-world, industrial environment. The wide-ranging coverage encompasses all areas of software design, management, and quality. Topics and features: presents a broad overview of software engineering, including software lifecycles and phases in software development, and project management for software engineering; examines the areas of requirements engineering, software configuration management, software inspections, software testing, software quality assurance, and process quality; covers topics on software metrics and problem solving, software reliability and dependability, and software design and development, including Agile approaches; explains formal methods, a set of mathematical techniques to specify and derive a program from its specification, introducing the Z specification language; discusses software process improvement, describing the CMMI model, and introduces UML, a visual modelling language for software systems; reviews a range of tools to support various activities in software engineering, and offers advice on the selection and management of a software supplier; describes such innovations in the field of software as distributed systems, service-oriented architecture, software as a service, cloud computing, and embedded systems; includes key learning topics, summaries and review questions in each chapter, together with a useful glossary.

Salary surveys worldwide regularly place software architect in the top 10 best jobs, yet no real guide exists to help developers become architects. Until now. This book provides the first comprehensive overview of software architecture’s many aspects. Aspiring and existing architects alike will examine architectural characteristics, architectural patterns, component determination, diagramming and presenting architecture, evolutionary architecture, and many other topics. Mark Richards and Neal Ford—hands-on practitioners who have taught software architecture classes professionally for years—focus on architecture principles that apply across all technology stacks. You’ll explore software architecture in a modern light, taking into account all the innovations of the past decade. This book examines: Architecture patterns: The technical basis for many architectural decisions Components: Identification, coupling, cohesion, partitioning, and granularity Soft skills: Effective team management, meetings, negotiation, presentations, and more Modernity: Engineering practices and operational approaches that have changed radically in the past few years Architecture as an engineering discipline: Repeatable results, metrics, and concrete valuations that add rigor to software architecture
