Pathways in software engineering: on the development and operations of large-scale software systems

Software is pervasive in today's technical systems in industry and everyday life. Modern enterprises strategically invest into software and often have their own software development departments. Software engineering is the exciting discipline that addresses the challenges of today’s software projects: cost andtime pressure and software quality. This book aims at uncovering the implicitassumptions of today’s leading software engineering paradigms. It presents knowledge shared by seasoned experts in the field which is usually gained by experience in software engineering projects or communication between software engineers only. This way, the book wants to empower the ambitious software developer to become the project’s systems thinker and systems strategist by telling the story of successful software engineering projects. Presents crucial word-of-mouth knowledge shared by senior software managers. Explains the mutual dependencies between the several leading software engineering paradigms. Includes many real world case studies that help readers to understand the relevance of the various concepts presented. Bridges the gap between software management and IT infrastructure management. The terminology of the book is carefully oriented towards the terminology standards in the field (IEEE, OMG, PMI, WfMC). INDICE: Introduction. Software Engineering Case Studies.
