The fields of HCI and Software Engineering have evolved almost independently of each other until the last decade, when it became apparent that an integrated and combined perspective would benefit the development of interactive software applications. The chapters in this book are written by prominent researchers who bring to light the major integration issues and challenges, and offer a variety of solutions to bridging the HCI and SE gap, including: Extending software engineering artifacts for UI specification, such as annotating use cases with task descriptions, Enhancing object-oriented

This book introduces major agent platforms, frameworks, systems, tools, and applications. Each system is described by their developers in sufficient detail so that the reader can get a good understanding of the architecture, functionality, and application areas of the system. All systems are running systems. One main focus of the book lies on agent platforms and toolkits.

This volume defines a common example for modelling approaches of component based systems. It is based on the Dagstuhl research seminar CoCoME (Common Component Modelling Example), which was held from August 1-3, 2007, at Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany. The Common Component Modelling Example makes it possible to compare different approaches and to validate existing models. It serves as a platform for the classification of existing models and approaches and the interchange of research ideas, enabling researchers to focus and to tackle aspects less frequently dealt with. The CoCoME project is an

There has never been a ISTQB Guide like this. 100 Success Secrets is not about the ins and outs of ISTQB. Instead, it answers the top 100 questions that we are asked and those we come across in forums, our consultancy and education programs. It tells you exactly how to deal with those questions, with tips that have never before been offered in print. This book is also not about ISTQB’s best practice and standards details. Instead, it introduces everything you want to know to be successful with ISTQB.

Machine learning deals with the issue of how to build computer programs that improve their performance at some tasks through experience. Machine learning algorithms have proven to be of great practical value in a variety of application domains. Not surprisingly, the field of software engineering turns out to be a fertile ground where many software development and maintenance tasks could be formulated as learning problems and approached in terms of learning algorithms. This book deals with the subject of machine learning applications in software engineering. It provides an overview of machine l

Empirical verification of knowledge is one of the foundations for developing any discipline. As far as software construction is concerned, the empirically verified knowledge is not only sparse but also not very widely disseminated among developers and researchers. This book aims to spread the idea of the importance of empirical knowledge in software development from a highly practical viewpoint. It has two goals: (1) Define the body of empirically validated knowledge in software development so as to advise practitioners on what methods or techniques have been empirically analysed and
