This book describes pragmatic instruments and methods that enable business experts and software engineers to develop a common understanding of the software to be created, to determine their key requirements, and to manage the project in a way that fosters trust, encourages innovation and distributes risk fairly between clients and contractors. After an introduction to the fundamentals of agile software development in Part I, Part II describes the Interaction Room, an actual room where digitalization and mobilization strategies are developed, where technology potentials are evaluated, where software projects are planned and managed, and where business and technical stakeholders can communicate face to face, visualize complex relationships intuitively, and highlight value, effort and risk drivers that are keys to the project's success. After addressing these constructive aspects, the book focuses on the commercial aspects of software development: The adVANTAGE contract model described in Part III ensures that the insight-driven innovation process of software development does not just function, but is allowed to flourish in a trusted client-contractor relationship. Even though software contracting and construction may be grounded in two different academic disciplines, they are inseparable in practice, and how they interact is illustrated in the case study of developing a private health insurance benefit system in Part IV. Ultimately though, the success of every software project depends on the skills of the stakeholders. Part V therefore describes the qualification profile that software engineers and domain experts have to satisfy today. This book is aimed at CIOs, project managers and software engineers in industrial software development practice who want to learn how to effectively deal with the inevitable uncertainty of complex projects, who want to achieve higher levels of understanding and cooperation in their relationships with clients and contractors, and who want to run lower-risk software projects despite their inherent uncertainties.

The book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Software Composition, SC 2012, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in May/June 2012, co-located with TOOLS 2012 Federated Conferences. The 12 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 42 submissions for inclusion in the book. The papers reflect all current research in software composition and are organized in topical sections on software composition in specification languages; context-aware and dynamic composition; composition in software development; and applications of software composition.
Abstraction is the most basic principle of software engineering. Abstractions are provided by models. Modeling and model transformation constitute the core of model-driven development. Models can be refined and finally be transformed into a technical implementation, i.e., a software system. The aim of this book is to give an overview of the state of the art in model-driven software development. Achievements are considered from a conceptual point of view in the first part, while the second part describes technical advances and infrastructures. Finally, the third part summarizes experiences gained in actual projects employing model-driven development. Beydeda, Book and Gruhn put together the results from leading researchers in this area, both from industry and academia. The result is a collection of papers which gives both researchers and graduate students a comprehensive overview of current research issues and industrial forefront practice, as promoted by OMG 's MDA initiative.

Das Buch beschreibt pragmatische Instrumente und Methoden, die Software-Entwicklern und Fachexperten dabei helfen, ein gemeinsames Problem- und Loesungsverstandnis zu entwickeln und Projekte so zu managen, dass Risiken fair zwischen Auftraggeber und Auftragnehmer verteilt werden.Teil 1 beleuchtet kurz die agile Entwicklungspraxis im kommerziellen Umfeld. Teil 2 beschreibt den Interaction Room, in dem Entwickler und Fachexperten auf gleicher Augenhoehe zusammenarbeiten. Teil 3 beschreibt das Preis- und Vertragsmodell adVANTAGE, das die Brucke zwischen agiler Philosophie und vertraglich fixierten Leistungserwartungen schlagt. Teil 4 illustriert die Methoden am Beispiel einer industriellen Fallstudie, bevor Teil 5 ein modernes Qualifikationsprofil aufstellt.Das Buch wendet sich an CIOs, Projektmanager und Entwickler, die Risiken in ihren Projekten fruher erkennen, souveraner mit der Ungewissheit komplexer Projekte umgehen und effektiver mit Kunden bzw. Dienstleistern kooperieren wollen.
