Systems development methodologies continue to be a central area of research in software engineering. As the nature of applications and systems usage move increasingly towards open networked environments, not only are new...

A book that describes and applies Software Engineering methods according to the state of the art of the subject matter; it is integrated with a proper exemplification and evolves as each topic is introduced. The material...

Requirements Engineering is the key issue for the development of Software Systems, that meet the expectations of their customers and users, are delivered on time, and are developed within budget. This book intends to pr...

There has been an increasing number of literature dealing with the software engineering aspect of building “agent oriented software”. In principle, agent oriented software is software implemented in platforms in whic...

There are two main activities in Component-Based Development: component development, where we build libraries for general use, and component integration, where we assemble an application from existing components. In this...

Any system interacting with a data base requires modules capable of operating data stored in it. Its development times generally vary between 50 to 60 % of the time used for the application life cycle. The present paper ...

Nowadays,it's well-known that Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) generate important contributions to the software industry. Their particular characteristics constitute a challenge to decision makers when selecting techn...

In the MDE (Model Driven Engineering) paradigm, models are thought to be the primary conductors in all software development aspects. A PIM (Platform Independent Model) is transformed into one or more PSMs (Platform Speci...

Many methodologies have been proposed to systematize the software development process. Many of them have been widely adopted. However, the majority has focused on analysis and design. Requirements have frequently been fo...

In this paper we describe a methodology to translate BON (architectural) designs to Alloy specifications. The main virtue of this process is that it can be implemented by means of software tools. The utilization of this ...

At present, the early phase of Requirements Engineering is a new research area in the Software Engineering field. This phase is concerned with the analysis of the organizational context in which a software system will be...

The concept of System Analysis was very common in the early stages of information systems. Different approaches to System Analysis share the goal of learning about the current system to establish the basis of the new sys...

Requirement Engineering plays an essential role at the initial stage in the software development life cycle. This discipline entails three processes: Requirements Elicitation, Specification and Validation. Elicitation ha...

The resolution of optimization problems is of great interest nowadays and has encouraged the development of various information technology methods to attempt solving them. There are several problems related to Software E...

Modern requirement engineering approaches divide the elicitation process in two different stages: one focused on analyzing the context where the system-to-be will be used and another centered on designing software soluti...
