About this title

Synopsis

This book is intended as a handbook for students and practitioners alike. The book is structured around the type of tasks that practitioners are confronted with, beginning with requirements definition and concluding with maintenance and withdrawal. It identifies and discusses existing laws that have a significant impact on the software engineering field. These laws are largely independent of the technologies involved, which allow students to learn the principles underlying software engineering. This also guides students toward the best practice when implementing software engineering techniques.

About the Author

Albert Endres has lived, worked and taught all over the world. Before retiring from IBM in 1992, Endres worked for the company in Germany, France and New York, mostly dealing with software engineering. He was a professor of computer science at the Technical University of Munich and a member of ACM and IEEE. Currently he concentrates on his hobbies.

Dieter Romabch is the director of software engineering at Fraunhofer Institut Experimentelles in Germany. The institute is the leading center for applied research and technology transfer in experimental software engineering. He is also the head of a software engineering research group for AGSE.
