Radical Innovations of Software and Systems Engineering in the Future: 9th International Workshop, RISSEF 2002, Venice, Italy, October 7-11, 2002, Revised Papers

Overview

This volume contains the papers from the workshop “Radical Innovations of Software and Systems Engineering in the Future.” This workshop was the ninth in the series of Monterey Software Engineering workshops for formulating and advancing software engineering models and techniques, with the fundamental theme of increasing the practical impact of formal methods. During the last decade object orientation was the driving factor for new system solutions in many areas ranging from e-commerce to embedded systems. New modeling languages such as UML and new programming languages such as Java and CASE tools have considerably influenced the system development techniques of today and will remain key techniques for the near future. However, actual practice shows many deficiencies of these new approaches: – there is no proof and no evidence that software productivity has increased with the new methods; – UML has no clean scientific foundations, which inhibits the construction of powerful analysis and development tools; – support for mobile distributed system development is missing; – for many applications, object-oriented design is not suited to producing clean well-structured code, as many applications show.
