Solidifying the foundations of the cloud for the next generation Software Engineering

Infrastructure clouds are expected to play an important role in the next generation Software Engineering but currently there are some drawbacks. These clouds are too infrastructure oriented and they lack advanced service oriented capabilities such as service elasticity, quality of service or admission control to perform a holistic management of a whole application. The deployment of complex multi-tier applications on top of IaaS infrastructures requires to provide the IaaS platforms with an extra service layer that provides advanced service management functionality.

A New Method for Modeling Complex Network Topology of Software Systems

Many large-scale software systems have unprecedented complexity. The basic problem lies in how to construct a complex network topology models that can reflect the complexity of software systems. Based on studying the theory development and application status of complex networks, the complex network topology rules based on component of software system are proposed, the formalized definition of software complex network model is proposed and the application value of software complex network model is prospected. These provide a positive theoretical inspiration and reference value for applying the complex network achievements to the next generation software engineering.

Teaching the next generation software engineering

Most software engineering courses do not incorporate current best practices found in industry: collaborative development, automated testing, frequent integration, version control, user-centered des...
