Robots have become usual collaborators in our daily life. While robotic systems grow to be more and more complex, the need to engineering their software development process grows as well. Traditional approaches that are ...

In these days most robotic systems tend to be complex to maintain and reuse because existing frameworks are based mainly on code-driven approaches. This means the software development process is reduced to the implementa...

We outline the ACM/IEEE-CS sponsored Computing Curricula project, and then discuss the context and development of its Software Engineering Volume (SE2004).. We then discuss evaluation of the volume, internationalization,...

Los robots se han convertido en colaboradores habituales de nuestra vida diaria. Los sistemas robóticos son cada vez más complejos y, como consecuencia, crece la necesidad de aplicar nuevas técnicas ingenieriles a su ...

The following document, presents and analyzes the Risks Analysis in the whole software development life cycle, framed like one of the recommended practices for secure software development. It present and compare a set of...

This paper shows the evolution of a software engineering environment (SEE) called PROSOFT to support the formal development of groupware applications. This environment, which is centered in the data-driven approach for s...

This paper describes two experiences in teaching a formal approach to software engineering at undergraduate level supported by Camila a functional programming based tool Carried on in di erent institutions each of th...

A large number of software development projects in Latin- American countries are small-size, poorly defined and time pressured. These projects usually involve under qualified people. Provided that well-known software dev...

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...

Software engineering has entered a new era, the Internet and its associated technologies require a different conceptual framework for building and understanding software solutions. Users ask to develop applications more...

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...

3D meshing tools are complex pieces of software involving varied algorithms generally with high computing demands. New requirements and techniques appear continuously and being able to incorporate them into existing tool...

An Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) project, as most of complex software systems development and implantation, requires sophisticated and strong managerial concepts and skills. So, an effective and consistent man...

Framework comprehension is a very limiting factor to take full advantage of the benefits that frameworks offer to increase quality and productivity in software development. In this paper, a reverse engineering approach t...

Previous work in software product lines showed an increment of up to 10 times in productivity and product quality [SEI Prod_Line]; because of this, the software product line approach is critical for the success of a deve...

Mature Web Engineering (WE) approaches provide good resources for developing Web 2.0 applications. The state-of-the-art shows that many of these approaches have evolved for providing support to different issues during th...

Reuse-oriented software methodologies have emerged to provide a set of rules or guides for development and evolution of software systems by reusing existing domain engineering artefacts such as requirements, architecture...

In the software world portability means power. The more operating environments you can support out of the same code tree means more potential users for your software. If done right, additional platforms can be supported ...

The Standardization of a development process for systems of medium complexity, entirely supported by an integrated development environment, could mean a double contribution to the industry of systems development. On the ...

The structured techniques for systems analysis and design are still the most widely known. One of the alternatives of this technique is the JAD methodology (Joint Application Design). This methodology is an improvement w...

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...

A few years ago, it seemed inconceivable to think about cars able to detect open doors automatically, with a device for speech recognition; besides, it was almost unbelievable to imagine houses that close their windows i...
