Design Thinking for Software Engineering

Design Thinking implemented in Software Engineering Tools Proposing and Applying the Design Thinking Transformation Framework

Design Thinking has collected theories and best-practices to foster creativity and innovation in group processes. This is in particular valuable for sketchy and complex problems. Other disciplines can learn from this body-of-behaviors and values to tackle their complex problems. In this paper, using four Design Thinking qualities, we propose a framework to identify the level of Design Thinkingn...

Engineering Design for Software: on Defining the Software Engineering Profession

1 J. L. Díaz-Herrera, Southern Polytechnic State University, School of Computing and Software Engineering, Marietta, GA 30060. [email protected] Abstract  Since the mid-1980s, software engineering has been accepted as a formal field of study in academia. Software engineering education is maturing from specialized courses in computer science, to numerous Master's programs, and more recently to the...

Technology Transfer: Software Engineering and Engineering Design

Software engineering has made significant contributions to “engineering-in-the-large”. The nature of the software process has been researched, and computer based tools and environments have been built to support this process. Other more established engineering disciplines, such as instrument design, have developed professional practices, mature mathematical frameworks for system modelling and a...

Design Patterns for agent-oriented software engineering

Multi-agent systems (MAS) architectures are gaining popularity over traditional ones for building open, distributed, and evolving software required by today’s corporate IT applications such as e-business systems, Web services, or enterprise knowledge bases. Since the fundamental concepts of multi-agent systems are social and intentional rather than object, functional, or implementation-oriented...
