111 Thesen zur erfolgreichen Softwareentwicklung: Argumente und Entscheidungshilfen für Manager. Konzepte und Anleitungen für Praktiker (Xpert.press)

Ziel dieses Buches ist es, Managern Argumente und Entscheidungshilfen für die Einführung effizienter Techniken der Softwareentwi- lung zu geben, und Praktiker von der Notwendigkeit effizienter Softwaree- wicklung zu überzeugen und Wege zur erfolgreichen - wendung aufzuzeigen. Unter "effizienter Softwareentwicklung" verstehen wir die - setzung von Anforderungen in "qualitativ hochwertige" Software zu "angemessenem" Preis innerhalb "angemessener" Zeit. "Qualitativ hochwertig" steht für fehlerfrei, zuverlässig, robust und voll den Anforderungen entsprechend. Unter "angemessen" verstehen wir minimale Komplexität bei voller Abdeckung der - forderungen, bezahlbar und kurzfristig verfügbar. Im ersten Teil dieses Buches (Kap. 2 - 5) führen wir den Leser hin zum "automatischen Softwareproduktionsprozess", durch P- sentation von Thesen und Analysen. Anleitungen und Beispiele folgen im zweiten Teil (Kap. 6 und 7). Wir schließen mit Betra- tungen zur gesellschaftspolitischen Relevanz einer Technologie, die auf Automation beruht (Kap. 8). Wie in anderen Bereichen, in denen Automation bereits an- wendet wird, haben automatische Softwareproduktionsprozesse Einfluss auf die Arbeitsplätze. Präziser ausgedrückt, es fallen - stimmte Arten von Arbeitsplätzen weg, während andere entstehen. Für Manager und Entwickler, aber auch Ausbilder, ist es wichtig, sich frühzeitig auf die Möglichkeiten und Folgen dieser Technologie einzustellen. Zur Zeit wird durch "Outsourcing", "Nearshoring" oder "Offs- ring" versucht, die Softwareentwicklungskosten zu senken. "Au- mation" in der Softwareentwicklung geht darüber hinaus. Nicht nur Kosten sinken, auch Entwicklungszeit und -risiken, die Flexibilität ? Vorwort VII ? ? erhöht sich, und Know-how muss nicht nach außen weitergegeben werden.

10th International Conference on Soft Computing Models in Industrial and Environmental Applications (Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing #368)

This volume of Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing contains accepted papers presented at the 10th International Conference on Soft Computing Models in Industrial and Environmental Applications (SOCO 2015), held in the beautiful and historic city of Burgos (Spain), in June 2015.Soft computing represents a collection or set of computational techniques in machine learning, computer science and some engineering disciplines, which investigate, simulate and analyze very complex issues and phenomena. This Conference is mainly focused on its industrial and environmental applications.After a through peer-review process, the SOCO 2015 International Program Committee selected 41 papers, written by authors from 15 different countries. These papers are published in present conference proceedings, achieving an acceptance rate of 40%.The selection of papers was extremely rigorous in order to maintain the high quality of the conference and we would like to thank the members of the International Program Committees for their hard work during the review process. This is a crucial issue for creation of a high standard conference and the SOCO conference would not exist without their help.

10th International Conference on Practical Applications of Computational Biology & Bioinformatics (Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing #477)

Biological and biomedical research are increasingly driven by experimental techniques that challenge our ability to analyse, process and extract meaningful knowledge from the underlying data. The impressive capabilities of next generation sequencing technologies, together with novel and ever evolving distinct types of omics data technologies, have put an increasingly complex set of challenges for the growing fields of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. The analysis of the datasets produced and their integration call for new algorithms and approaches from fields such as Databases, Statistics, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Optimization, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. Clearly, Biology is more and more a science of information requiring tools from the computational sciences. In the last few years, we have seen the surge of a new generation of interdisciplinary scientists that have a strong background in the biological and computational sciences. In this context, the interaction of researchers from different scientific fields is, more than ever, of foremost importance boosting the research efforts in the field and contributing to the education of a new generation of Bioinformatics scientists. PACBB‘16 hopes to contribute to this effort promoting this fruitful interaction. PACBB'16 technical program included 21 papers spanning many different sub-fields in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. Therefore, the conference will certainly promote the interaction of scientists from diverse research groups and with a distinct background (computer scientists, mathematicians, biologists). The scientific content will certainly be challenging and will promote the improvement of the work being developed by each of the participants.
