Developing Services for the Wireless Internet offers state-of-the-art technological knowledge and practical know-how to practitioners - project managers, software architects and designers, process engineers and quality assurance workers. The book supports the developers of services and applications for mobile phones, PDAs and smart phones. This new emerging domain is characterized by a very fast pace of change in the underlying technology, exposing products and applications to a constant risk of obsolescence. The relative youth of this field means that knowledge is comparatively limited. The book identifies an approach to mitigate the above risks by focusing on: The development process, the underlying technology and its effects on connectivity, and software architectures. It provides an essential tool kit for all working in this field.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Safe and Secure Software Reuse, ICSR 2013, held in Pisa, Italy, in June 2013. The 27 papers (18 full and 9 short papers) presented were carefully reviewed and selected from various submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on feature modeling and variability analysis; reuse and testing; architecture and reuse; analysis for reuse; reuse and patterns, short papers, emerging ideas and trends.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Software Reuse, ICSR 2006, held in Torino, Italy, in June 2006.

The book presents 27 revised full papers and 13 revised short papers, carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The Coverage includes COTS selection and integration; product lines, domain analysis, and variability; reengineering maintenance; programming languages and retrieval; aspect-oriented software development; approaches and models; and components.

Right context, software reuse promises high value to businesses that develop software, opening the door to radical improvements in their software capability (productivity, cost, time to market). Attempts to adopt reuse without a sound understanding of the range of issues involved, however, can lead to expensive failure. This book is for those who are wondering whether they should adopt reuse and how, and also to those who have already started to adopt it but are wondering where they may be going wrong and how they could do better. It consistently emphasizes the practical issues that influence success or failure in reuse; and it offers a concise and balanced coverage of the essentials of the subject, rather than going into undue depth or detail on some topics at the expense of others. It occupies the central ground between being on the one hand an academic textbook and on the other hand a cookbook with ready-made recipes for exactly "how to do it". The authors have drawn on their extensive experience of reuse and of software process improvement to provide a readable and balanced coverage of the subject. This book is suitable for business executives, software managers and software developers, regardless of whatever kind of software or applications are developed by their organisations, and whatever the size of those organisations. A special feature of the book is the frequent use of experience notes, drawn from the real-life experience of organisations that have embarked on the reuse adventure.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Product-Focused Software Process Improvement, PROFES 2021, held in Turin, Italy, in November 2021. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held as a hybrid event. The 20 revised papers, including 14 full papers, 3 short papers and 3 industry papers, presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. The papers cover a broad range of topics related to professional software development and process improvement driven by product and service quality needs. They are organized in the following topical sections: agile and migration, requirements, human factors, and software quality.
