Produktbeschreibung

This book contains both relevant real-world research, as well as reviews of different areas of interest in the software engineering literature, such as clone identification. The contents of the various sections will provide a better understanding of known problems and detailed treatment of advanced topics. Consequently, the book consolidates the work and findings from leading researchers in the software research community in key areas such as maintainability, architectural recovery, code analysis, software migration, and tool support. ADVANCES IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING is a comprehensive edited survey thematically organized into four parts: Empirical Studies, Architectural Recovery, Maintainability, and Tool Support. Contributions to the volume derive from significant results and findings of leading researchers, under the mandate of the Consortium for Software Engineering (CSER), a Canadian industry-research initiative. Central themes--the comprehension, evaluation, and evolution of software systems--address the key needs to understand software systems¿ construction and maintenance, to assess their quality, to adapt them to evolving requirements and technology, to migrate them to new platforms, and to discover new paradigms and build new tools to support these activities.
Topics and features:
+ Includes several case studies and problems based on actual systems used by industrial research partners of CSER
+ Examines the current challenges facing large-scale and legacy systems, for which substantial investments may be associated with mere maintenance
+ Describes leading-edge research, providing insight to potential avenues for solving some of the problems facing the software industry
+ Addresses advanced software engineering topics, such as software migration, code analysis, object-oriented metrics, and automatic architectural clustering.
This book provides an essential overview of empirical evolution in the field, from legacy software to modern architectures. It will serve as an excellent resource and reference for software practitioners, engineers and researchers alike and also contains information valuable for project managers and tool developers.
