Software engineering products are becoming ever more complex,
because software is being used in the solution of more technically
difficult problems and because the size of software projects
continues to grow. A key question for software engineers is how to
cope with this complexity. There is no single answer, and software
engineers must attack the problem from a number of perspectives. A
technical perspective reveals new paradigms for system development,
including two paradigms that show particular promise:
object-oriented design and formal methods. A management perspective
recognises that good project management is vital to the success of
a complex project. The scale of modern projects makes it essential
to use automated support, so software engineers must also look at
how to manage complexity from an automation perspective. Automated
support can come in the form of discrete tools for particular
tasks, or a packaged set of tools in a support environment. The
papers in this book address the problem of managing complexity in
software engineering from these different perspectives. The papers
are grouped into three sections: Paradigms of software development;
Project management; and Automated support. The papers are selected
from those presented at the 4th European Seminar on Industrial
Software Technology organized by the European Workshop on
Industrial Computer Systems (EWICS), whose aim is to promote the
effective use of industrial computer systems through education, the
dissemination of information and the development of guidelines and
standards.
