Communication is one of the main activities in software projects,
many such projects fail or encounter serious problems because the
stakeholders involved have different understandings of the problem
domain and/or they use different terminologies. Ontologies can help
to mitigate these communication problems.
Calero and her coeditors mainly cover two applications of
ontologies in software engineering and software techonology:
sharing knowledge of the problem domain and using a common
terminology among all stakeholders; and filtering the knowledge
when defining models and metamodels.
The editors structured the contributions into three parts:
first, a detailed introduction into the use of ontologies in
software engineering and software technology in general; second,
the use of ontologies to conceptualize different process-related
domains such as software maintenance, software measurement, or
SWEBOK, initiated by IEEE; third, the use of ontologies as
artifacts in several software processes, like, for example, in OMGa
(TM)s MOF or MDA.
By presenting the advanced use of ontologies in software
research and software projects, this book is of benefit to software
engineering researchers in both academia and industry.
