Emerging Methods, Technologies and Process Management in Software Engineering

A high-level introduction to new technologies andmethods in thefield of software engineering

Recent years have witnessed rapid evolution of softwareengineering methodologies, and until now, there has been nosingle-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 inSoftwareEngineering covers:

• Software Architectures – Evolution of softwarecomposition mechanisms; compositionality in software product lines;and teaching design patterns

• Emerging Methods – The impact of agent-orientedsoftware engineering in service-oriented computing; testingobject-oriented software; the UML and formal methods; and modernWeb application development

• Technologies for Software Evolution – Migrating toWeb services and software evolution analysis and visualization

• Process Management – Empirical experimentation insoftware engineering and foundations of agile methods

Emerging Methods, Technologies, and Process Management inSoftware Engineering is a one-stop resource for softwareengineering practitioners and professionals, and also serves as anideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students alike.
