Berlin: Springer, 2011. - 185 p. - ISBN: 978-3-642-15186-6 e-ISBN: 978-3-642-15187-3
Language: English.Book descriptionIn just a few decades, the development of quality software has evolved into one of the critical needs of our society. Meeting these needs would not be possible without the principles, best practices, and theoretical and technological foundations developed within the field of software engineering. Despite many major achievements over the years, an even larger number of challenges have emerged, making it easy to predict a long and exciting future for this discipline.
The contributions in this book provide an insight into the nature of these
challenges, and how they are rooted in past achievements. Written by some of
the field’s most prominent researchers and technologists, the articles reflect the views of the individual authors on whatever they feel is important for the future of software engineering. Hence a broad range of topics is treated, both from academic and industrial perspectives.Some Future Software Engineering Opportunities and Challenges
