The Advances in Systems Analysis, Software Engineering, and High Performance Computing (ASASEHPC) Book Series brings together research in the areas of distributed computing, systems and software engineering, high performance computing, and service science. This collection of publications is useful for academics, researchers, and practitioners seeking the latest practices and knowledge in this field.
Introduction
Business activities are rapidly changing nowadays and there are increasingly complex requirements set on programming solutions, which put traditional software development methods, also called heavyweight, behind and lead to new modern approaches sometimes called lightweight. The market volatility of the past year has highlighted in sometimes painful fashion the need for companies to anticipate and address pivotal events that affect their business. Planning for the unpredictable may seem an impossible irony, but many firms appear to recognise that in a period of turbulence, an organisation’s ability to respond is critical for sustaining growth.
Objective of the Book
Objective of the study is to gain insight of lightweight methodologies (Agile, Lean etc), critical success/limiting factors for adopting these methodologies into organizational culture. We will find the agile adoption from different dimensions: time, cost, scale, distribution etc. What Roadmap can be proven to achieve agility at scale. This book will help in finding current practices and future trends in evolution and revolution to achieve organization agility. Objectives of this book can be broadly laid down as under:
� To promote awareness of Software engineering methodologies.
� To identify quality oriented software architecture (design and Support)
� To analyze benefits of reverse and architectural recovery methods
� How technology impart software reliability, safety critical systems and security methods
� To highlight educational establishment in Information Systems Analysis and Specification
� To Analyze Advancements in Engineering of Systems
� To analyze various approaches to software engineering
� How Software Engineering helps for Performance Enhancement and Appraisal.
Target Audience
This edited book will focus on real world applications; therefore authors should highlight the benefits of Information Technology for industry and services. Ideas on how to analyze system will arise from the book. The purpose of the Edited Book is to bring together researchers, students, engineers and practitioners interested in the advances of organisation’s agility.
