Abstract:
The ever-expanding field of Software Engineering continues its journey with the introduction of emerging topics and concepts in order to solve particular problems of the modern software industry. As one of the major fields, it has increased rapidly in recent years, in parallel with the complexity and scale of the software systems. Addressing a wide spectrum, from traditional engineering systems to the large, Web-scale architectures of today, new requirements always give rise to innovative approaches to be developed either through introducing new paradigms or extending the capabilities of well-established approaches.
Whenever a new approach emerges, software industry is also thirsty for an effective, yet simple and published method to safely utilize the approach. For this purpose, enactment of an emerging approach in the solution of a real world problem is as significant as the approach itself. The struggle is not for mere sake of being up to date or feeling so; the software engineering world is really in need of approaches that are practically available to a broad range of practitioners. Real world practices, case studies, tools and development environments are all critical for the adoption of new techniques, in an effort to increase the quality of software.
