Andrea De Lucia & Filomena Ferrucci 
Emerging Methods, Technologies, and Process Management in Software Engineering 

A high-level introduction to new technologies andmethods in the
field of software engineering

Recent years have witnessed rapid evolution of software
engineering methodologies, and until now, there has been no
single-source introduction to emerging technologies in the field.
Written by a panel of experts and divided into four clear parts,
Emerging Methods, Technologies, and Process Management in
Software Engineering covers:

* Software Architectures – Evolution of software
composition mechanisms; compositionality in software product lines;
and teaching design patterns

* Emerging Methods – The impact of agent-oriented
software engineering in service-oriented computing; testing
object-oriented software; the UML and formal methods; and modern
Web application development

* Technologies for Software Evolution – Migrating to
Web services and software evolution analysis and visualization

* Process Management – Empirical experimentation in
software engineering and foundations of agile methods

Emerging Methods, Technologies, and Process Management in
Software Engineering is a one-stop resource for software
engineering practitioners and professionals, and also serves as an
ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students alike.
