This book constitutes the proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering, FASE 2013, held as part of the European Joint Conference on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2013, which took place in Rome, Italy, in March 2013. The 25 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 112 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: model-driven engineering; verification and validation; software comprehension; analysis tools; model-driven engineering: applications; model transformations; and testing.

This book addresses the challenges in the software engineering of variability-intensive systems. Variability-intensive systems can support different usage scenarios by accommodating different and unforeseen features and qualities. The book features academic and industrial contributions that discuss the challenges in developing, maintaining and evolving systems, cloud and mobile services for variability-intensive software systems and the scalability requirements they imply. The book explores software engineering approaches that can efficiently deal with variability-intensive systems as well as applications and use cases benefiting from variability-intensive systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Search-Based Software Engineering, SSBSE 2016, held in Raleigh, NC, USA, in October 2016.The 13 revised full papers and 4 short papers presented together with 7 challenge track and 4 graduate student track papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. Search Based Software Engineering (SBSE) studies the application of meta-heuristic optimization techniques to various software engineering problems, ranging from requirements engineering to software testing and maintenance.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Search-Based Software Engineering, SSBSE 2018, held in Montpellier, France, in September 2018. The 12 full papers and 7 short papers presented together with 3 keynotes, 2 tutorials, and 1 anniversary paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 submissions. SSBSE welcomes not only applications from throughout the software engineering lifecycle but also a broad range of search methods ranging from exact Operational Research techniques to nature-inspired algorithms and simulated annealing.
