Advanced approaches to software engineering and design are capable of solving complex computational problems and achieving standards of performance that were unheard of only decades ago.

Handbook of Research on Emerging Advancements and Technologies in Software Engineering presents a comprehensive investigation of the most recent discoveries in software engineering research and practice, with studies in software design, development, implementation, testing, analysis, and evolution. Software designers, architects, and technologists, as well as students and educators, will find this book to be a vital and in-depth examination of the latest notable developments within the software engineering community.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

Advanced Architectures
Model-Driven Development
Project Management
Re-Engineering
Requirement Engineering
Service-Oriented Software Engineering
Social Systems
Software Evolution
Testing, Analysis, and Refinement

Reviews & Statements

Twenty-six papers present recent advances in software design and construction, requirements definition, agile development, software quality and testing, and software management. The contributors propose a model-driven solution for the automatic generation of executable code from business process models, a framework for the specification of service-oriented software architectures, an algebraic approach for the specification and verification of aspect-oriented systems, and a service discovery framework for distributed embedded real-time systems.
