This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th European Workshop on Software Process Technology, EWSPT '98, held in Weybridge, UK in September 1998.
The 16 revised full papers presented were selected from more than 40 submissions; also included are 10 position papers. The volume covers all current aspects of software process technology taking into account both the academic point of view as well as the needs of the practitioners from industry.

Following the successful workshops held in St. Andrews, Scotland, UK in 2004 (EWSA 2004, Springer LNCS 3527) and in Pisa, Italy in 2005 (EWSA 2005, Springer LNCS 3047), the 3rd European Workshop on Software Architecture (EWSA 2006) held in Nantes, France during September 4 5, 2006 provided an internationalforumforresearchersandpractitionersfromacademiaandindustry to present innovative research and discuss a wide range of topics in the area of software architecture. Software architecture has emerged as an important subdiscipline of software engineering encompassing a broad set of languages,...

Industrial development of software systems needs to be guided by recognized engineering principles. Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components enable the systematic and cost-effective reuse of prefabricated tested parts, a characteristic approach of mature engineering disciplines. This reuse necessitates a thorough test of these components to make sure that each works as specified in a real context.

Beydeda and Gruhn invited leading researchers in the area of component testing to contribute to this monograph, which covers all related aspects from testing components in a...

Kostensenkungen, E?zienzsteigerungen und die Erhohung der Flexibilitat hinsichtlich zukunftiger Anforderungen ist ein allgegenwartiges und wich- ges Thema bei der Gestaltung und Verbesserung von Geschaftsprozessen. Um diese Ziele zu erreichen, sind viele verschiedene Massnahmen denkbar, die in Abhangigkeit von der jeweiligen Bescha?enheit des Unternehmens und der Situation in den relevanten Markten ausgewahlt und gestaltet werden konnen. Die Vermeidung von Papierdokumenten in geschaftlichen Ablaufen kann - zu einen wichtigen Beitrag leisten. Dies wird vielfach schon erfolgreich dur- gefuhrt....

Abstraction is the most basic principle of software engineering. Abstractions are provided by models. Modeling and model transformation constitute the core of model-driven development. Models can be refined and finally be transformed into a technical implementation, i.e., a software system.

The aim of this book is to give an overview of the state of the art in model-driven software development. Achievements are considered from a conceptual point of view in the first part, while the second part describes technical advances and infrastructures. Finally, the third part...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th European Conference on Software Architecture, ECSA 2011, held in Essen, Germany, in September 2011. The 13 revised full papers presented together with 24 emerging research papers, and 7 research challenge poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from over 100 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on requirements and software architectures; software architecture, components, and compositions; quality attributes and software architectures; software product line architectures; architectural models, patterns...

Constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Software Composition, SC 2012, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in May/June 2012, co-located with Tools 2012 Federated Conferences.

This book describes pragmatic instruments and methods that enable business experts and software engineers to develop a common understanding of the software to be created, to determine their key requirements, and to manage the project in a way that fosters trust, encourages innovation and distributes risk fairly between clients and contractors.

After an introduction to the fundamentals of agile software development in Part I, Part II describes the Interaction Room, an actual room where digitalization and mobilization strategies are developed, where technology potentials are...

Das Buch beschreibt pragmatische Instrumente und Methoden, die Software-Entwicklern und Fachexperten dabei helfen, ein gemeinsames Problem- und Losungsverstandnis zu entwickeln und Projekte so zu managen, dass Risiken fair zwischen Auftraggeber und Auftragnehmer verteilt werden.Teil 1 beleuchtet kurz die agile Entwicklungspraxis im kommerziellen Umfeld. Teil 2 beschreibt den Interaction Room, in dem Entwickler und Fachexperten auf gleicher Augenhohe zusammenarbeiten. Teil 3 beschreibt das Preis- und Vertragsmodell adVANTAGE, das die Brucke zwischen agiler Philosophie und vertraglich fixierten...
