New Trends in Software Engineering
Software Engineering is the application
of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development,
operation, and maintenance of software. The first reference to the term is
the 1968 NATO Software Engineering Conference and was meant to provoke
thought regarding the perceived "software crisis" at the time. We
may be able to say that the crisis was avoided with developing many new
paradigms and concrete techniques of software development past five
decades, but we still have serious problems, such as low quality, cost
overrun, and schedule delay, in more than 30% of software development
project.
Today,
we have a better chance to access real software development data than ever before. For example, most open source software development
projects provide us with not only their source code but also with
development data maintained by the version control system and the bug
tracking system. Such data represent their development activities in a quantitative
way. That means we can use such data to understand
and evaluate new concepts of software
development such as cloud computing, ubiquitous
computing,
and so on, in order to put them to use in the right
places in real software projects.
This talk will address the key concepts
of software engineering and its new trends in
academic and industrial environments.
