چکیده

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING is quite well de ned. In 2014, the IEEE Computer Society released the third edition of its comprehensive Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK Guide).1 Figure 1 shows part of the SWEBOK Guide’s conceptual layout. The boxes show major topics, with subtopics listed in the descending structures. Each subtopic is further broken down and supported by even deeper levels, leading to the textual treatment of everything. Despite the SWEBOK Guide’s thoroughness and apparent currency, it faces one fundamental challenge. Software continues to morph and expand in in uence with increasing rapidity. Why must the SWEBOK Guide face continual change? It turns out we’re living in a physical world that’s moving at the speed of software. This means that software’s trajectory will drive software engineering, not vice versa.

Making Systems from What’s Available

T he face of software engineering is changing. We’re pressured to deliver systems more and more quickly, and those systems must provide increasingly ambitious functionality. On the other hand, we live in an era in which we can no longer afford—in terms of either time or money—to custom-develop every system. This situation is driving the software development industry toward composing systems fro...

What drives software development: issues integrating software engineering and human-computer interaction

This paper discusses two important issues about integrating SE and HCI. The first issue is usercentred development and the role of users and their goals driving software development. User-centred development is usually conceived by software developers has a methodological guidance towards bringing users into the development lifecycle and iterating design alternatives. Here we discuss that the m...

Engineering Autonomous Driving Software

A larger number of people with heterogeneous knowledge and skills running a project together needs an adaptable, target, and skill-specific engineering process. This especially holds for a project to develop a highly innovative, autonomously driving vehicle to participate in the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge. In this contribution, we present essential elements of a software and systems engineering...

Software & Systems Engineering Process and Tools for the Development of Autonomous Driving Intelligence

When a large number of people with heterogeneous knowledge and skills run a project together, it is important to use a sensible engineering process. This especially holds for a project building an intelligent autonomously driving car to participate in the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge. In this article, we present essential elements of a software and systems engineering process for the development ...
