From the Inside Flap
In previous editions, I have presented program examples in Ada as I consider this an excellent language for large-scale software engineering. However, Ada has not become as widely used as was once predicted. C or C++ are the programming languages of choice for most personal computer and workstation applications. Because of this wide use, I have included C++ as well as Ada versions of most of the program examples in the book. For safety-critical systems, however, I think it unwise to use a language which includes potentially unsafe constructs. Those examples are, therefore, only presented in Ada. I considered for a long time whether it would be appropriate to include a new chapter on professional and ethical issues. I decided not to do so because the topic is so subjective that it is difficult to present in a balanced way in a single chapter. There are no absolutes in this area and it is best addressed in an interactive context rather than as a chapter of a book. However, I have included a brief discussion of these issues in the introduction to the book. I have also included possible ethical and professional topics for discussion as exercises in many chapters. Links to WWW pages on this topic are included in the Web page whose URL is given below. The further reading associated with each chapter has been updated from previous editions. However, in many cases, articles written in the 1980s are still the best introduction to some topics. As new articles which are useful become available, I will include them on the Web page. The author index in previous editions has been removed. Rather, each entry in the References section includes the page numbers where it has been referenced. Readership The book is aimed at students in undergraduate and graduate courses and at software engineers in commerce and industry. It may be used in general software engineering courses or in courses such as advanced programming, software specification, software design or management. Practitioners may find the book useful as general reading and as a means of updating their knowledge on particular topics such as requirements engineering, architectural design, dependable systems development and process improvement. Wherever practicable, the examples in the text have been given a practical bias to reflect the type of applications which software engineers must develop. I assume that readers have a basic familiarity with programming and modern computer systems. Some examples rely on knowledge of basic data structures such as stacks, lists and queues. The chapters on formal specification assume knowledge of very elementary set theory. No other mathematical background is required. Using the book as a course text There are three main types of software engineering courses where this book can be used: General introductory courses in software engineering. For students who have no previous software engineering experience, you can start with the introductory section then pick and choose the introductory chapters from the different sections of the book. This will give students a general overview of the subject with the opportunity of more detailed study for those students who are interested. Introductory or intermediate courses on specific topics in software engineering such as software specification, design or dependable systems development. Each of the parts in the book can serve as a text in its own right for an introductory or intermediate course on that topic. More advanced courses in specific software engineering topics. In this case, the chapters in the book form a foundation for the course which must be supplemented with further reading which explores the topic in more detail. All chapters include my suggestions for further reading.
The benefit of a general text like this is that it can be used in several different related courses. At Lancaster, we use the text in an introductory software engineering course, in courses on specification, design and critical systems and in a software management course where it is supplemented with further reading. With a single text, students are presented with a consistent view of the subject. They also like the extensive coverage because they don't have to buy several different books. This book covers all suggested material in Units SE2 to SE5 in the ACM/IEEE 1991 Curriculum. It also includes material to supplement an introductory programming text which would normally cover Unit SE1 and all material in the suggested course entitled 'Advanced Software Engineering'. Supplements The following supplements are available: An instructor's guide including hints on teaching the material in each chapter, class and term project suggestions, and solutions to some of the exercises. This is available in Postscript or on paper from Addison-Wesley. A set of overhead projector transparencies for each chapter. These are available in Postscript and in Microsoft Powerpoint format. Source code for most of the individual program examples including supplementary code required for compilation. An introduction to the Ada programming language. Information on course presentation using electronically mediated communication and links to material for that approach to teaching. ac.uk/computing/resources/ser/ This page also includes links to other software engineering resources which you may find useful. If you have any problems, you can contact me by E-mail (is@comp.lancs.ac.uk). Acknowledgements I am indebted to a number of reviewers who provided helpful and constructive criticism of early drafts of this book. Many thanks to Leonora Barocca of the Open University, Stewart Green of the University of the West of England, Andrew McGettrick of the University of Strathclyde, Philip Morrow of the University of Ulster and Ray Welland of the University of Glasgow. Thanks also to Rodney L. Bown, University of Houston-Clear Lake, Charles P. Howerton, Metropolitan State College of Denver, Josephine DeGuzman Mendoza of California State University, San Bernardino and David C. Rine of George Mason University. Thanks also to all users of previous editions who have provided me with comments and constructive criticism and to my colleagues in the Cooperative Systems Engineering Group and Lancaster University. Finally, a big thank-you to my wife Anne and daughters, Ali and Jay. They have provided coffee, encouragement and occasional inspiration during the long hours I spent writing this book.

Terms of sale
General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information / Privacy Policy
I. General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (AHA-BUCH GmbH) via the Internet platforms AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions used by you will be objected to
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The object of the contract is the sale of goods.
(2) If an article is listed by us at AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the offer page at AbeBooks or ZVAB constitutes the binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are stored in the "shopping cart". Via the corresponding button in the navigation bar you can call up the "shopping cart" and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, all order data will be displayed again on the order overview page.
Before sending the order, you have the option of checking all information again, changing it (also via the "back" function of the Internet browser) or cancelling the purchase.
By submitting the order via the "Buy now" button, you declare the acceptance of the offer in a legally binding manner, whereby the contract is concluded.
(4) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have stored with us is correct, that the receipt of the e-mails is technically ensured and, in particular, that spam filters do not prevent it.
§ 3 Right of retention, retention of title
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if it concerns claims from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until full payment of the purchase price.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights exist.
(2) In the case of used goods, the warranty period is one year from delivery of the item, deviating from the statutory regulation. The shortening of the deadline does not apply:
- culpably caused damages attributable to us from injury to life, limb or health and in the case of other damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item.
(3) As a consumer, you are requested to check the item immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to inform us and the freight forwarder of any complaints as soon as possible. If you do not comply with this, this will have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of performance, place of jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as this does not withdraw the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence (principle of favourability).
(2) The place of performance for all services arising from the existing business relationships with us as well as the place of jurisdiction is our registered office, insofar as you are not a consumer, but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if the domicile or habitual residence is not known at the time the action is brought. The right to appeal to the court at another statutory place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.
