Synopsis


Traditional Software Engineering (SE) research and practices include requirements engineering, software project management, design, development, testing and implementation of software applications. This discipline is well developed as the practice has been well established over the past 50 years or so, however, with the emergence of the high attractive paradigm of Cloud Computing, the tools and techniques for Software Engineering are changing. Cloud Computing provides the latest software development environments, and necessary platforms relatively easily and inexpensively. It also allows the provision of software applications equally easily and on a pay-as-you-go basis. Business requirements for the use of software are also changing. There is a need for applications for Bid Data Analytics, parallel computing, AI, Natural Language Processing, biometrics, etc. These require huge amount of computing power and sophisticated data management mechanisms as well as device connectivity for the IoT environments. Cloud Computing offerings, in terms of hardware, software, communication, and storage are highly attractive for developing complex software that is now becoming a need of the hour for all sectors of life including commerce, health, education, transportation, etc.

The focus of the suggested book is on the development and implementation of cloud-based complex software that allows parallelism, fast processing, and real-time connectivity. The relevant topics include the following:

  *   Concepts, history, development and future cloud-based SE
  *   SE innovative applications and methodologies
  *   Requirement engineering for SE in the cloud
  *   Autonomic software systems for industrial processes
  *   Communication protocols for cloud-based SE
  *   Information security as relevant to cloud SE
  *   Secure software development and Cyber security in the era of SE in the cloud
  *   Cloud Requirements Engineering methods and tools
  *   Programming methods for the cloud
  *   Business Process Modelling and Simulation
  *   Creating cloud-aware software development approaches
  *   Cloud Service Design Methods and Techniques
  *   Cloud SaaS Architectural Design Methods
  *   Software Security Eng for Cloud Service Design/Development
  *   Cloud Testing and Deployment Methods and Technologies
  *   Software Engineering Technologies in the Cloud
  *   Software Engineering as a Service (SEaaS) Methods/Tools
  *   Agile Software Engineering for Cloud Driven Applications
  *   Software Engineering for Financial Cloud Applications
  *   Software Engineering for Machine Learning and AI
  *   Software Engineering for IoT, IIoT, and IoE
  *   Software Engineering for Big Data Applications & Big Data SE
  *   Software Engineering Analytics and Predictive Analytics Approaches with ML

  *   Software Engineering for Blockchain Applications
  *   Software Engineering for Serverless Computing

Hopefully, the proposed text will fill a gap in the SE literature and practice by providing scientific contributions from researchers and practitioners, focusing on frameworks, methodologies, applications, benefits, and inherent issues/barriers of engineering software using the cloud computing paradigm.
