Description:

Design for software-intensive systems requires adequate methodology and tool support in order for researchers and practitioners to make use of and develop very large and complex systems. Software engineering environments help reduce the design costs of very large and intricate software systems while improving the quality of the software produced.

Designing Software-Intensive Systems: Methods and Principles addresses the complex issues associated with software engineering environment capabilities for designing real-time embedded software systems. This groundbreaking work provides relevant theoretical foundations, principles, methodologies, frameworks, and the latest research findings in the field to deliver a superior knowledge base for those in computer science, software engineering, and fields alike.
