Software engineering requires specialized knowledge of a broad spectrum of topics, including the construction of software and the platforms, applications, and environments in which the software operates as well as an understanding of the people who build and use the software. Offering an authoritative perspective, the two volumes of the Encyclopedia of Software Engineering cover the entire multidisciplinary scope of this important field. More than 200 expert contributors and reviewers from industry and academia across 21 countries provide easy-to-read entries that cover software requirements, design, construction, testing, maintenance, configuration management, quality control, and software engineering management tools and methods. Editor Phillip A. Laplante uses the most universally recognized definition of the areas of relevance to software engineering, the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK®), as a template for organizing the material. Also available in an electronic format, this encyclopedia supplies software engineering students, IT professionals, researchers, managers, and scholars with unrivaled coverage of the topics that encompass this ever-changing field. Also Available Online This Taylor & Francis encyclopedia is also available through online subscription, offering a variety of extra benefits for researchers, students, and librarians, including: Citation tracking and alerts Active reference linking Saved searches and marked lists HTML and PDF format options Contact Taylor and Francis for more information or to inquire about subscription options and print/online combination packages.

This book presents selected proceedings of the annual convention of the Computer Society of India. Divided into 10 topical volumes, the proceedings present papers on state-of-the-art research, surveys, and succinct reviews. They cover diverse topics ranging from communications networks to big data analytics, and from system architecture to cyber security. This book focuses on Software Engineering, and informs readers about the state of the art in software engineering by gathering high-quality papers that represent the outcomes of consolidated research and innovations in Software Engineering and related areas. In addition to helping practitioners and researchers understand the chief issues involved in designing, developing, evolving and validating complex software systems, it provides comprehensive information on developing professional careers in Software Engineering. It also provides insights into various research issues such as software reliability, verification and validation, security and extensibility, as well as the latest concepts like component-based development, software process models, process-driven systems and human-computer collaborative systems.

This book highlights recent research on bio-inspired computing and its various innovative applications in information and communication technologies. It presents 85 high-quality papers from the 13th International Conference on Innovations in Bio-Inspired Computing and Applications (IBICA 2022) and 12th World Congress on Information and Communication Technologies (WICT 2022), which was held online during 15–17 December 2022. As a premier conference, IBICA–WICT brings together researchers, engineers and practitioners whose work involves bio-inspired computing, computational intelligence and their applications in information security, real-world contexts, etc. Including contributions by authors from 25 countries, the book offers a valuable reference guide for all researchers, students and practitioners in the fields of Computer Science and Engineering.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second European Conference on Model Driven Architecture - Foundations and Applications, ECMDA-FA 2006, held in Bilbao, Spain, in July 2006. The 30 revised full papers presented - 18 papers from the foundations track and 12 from the applications track - were carefully reviewed and selected from 78 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on integration, applikcatoins of transformations, applications of MDA, process, model consistency, model management, transformation, ontologies, re-engineering, tools and profiles, tool generation, constraints, model management and transformations.

This book includes a set of rigorously reviewed world-class manuscripts addressing and detailing state-of-the-art research projects in the areas of Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Information Sciences. The book presents selected papers from the conference proceedings of the International Conference on Systems, Computing Sciences and Software Engineering (SCSS 2006). All aspects of the conference were managed on-line.

Each industry, from robotics to health care, power generation to software, has its own tailored reliability and quality principles, methods, and procedures. This book brings these together so that reliability and quality professionals can more easily learn about each other's work, which may help them, directly or indirectly, to perform their tasks more effectively.

The theory and applications of intelligent systems is today an important field of research. This book is an up-to-date collection of seventeen chapters, written by recognized experts in the field. In an introductory mathematical foundations part an overview of generalizations of the integral inequalities for nonadditive integrals and a construction of the General Prioritized Fuzzy Satisfaction Problem is given. Then different aspects of robotics are presented, such as the differences between human beings and robots, the motion of bipedal humanoid robots, and an evaluation of different autonomous quadrotor flight controllers. Also Fuzzy Systems are presented by a model of basic planar imprecise geometric objects allowing various applications in image analysis , GIS, and robotics, as well as a type-2 fuzzy logic in a software library for developing perceptual computers, and a two--degree--of--freedom speed control solutions for a brushless Direct Current motor. The book also presents recent applications in medicine such as a Virtual Doctor System, methods for a face to face human machine interaction, and an emotion estimation, with applications for multiple diseases and the effect of the applied therapy. The last part of the book covers different applications in transportation, network monitoring, and localization of pedestrians in images.
