In this paper, we review current requirements engineering (RE) research and identify future
research directions suggested by emerging software needs. First, we overview the state of …

Aspect-orientation provides a new way of modularization by clearly separating crosscutting
concerns from noncrosscutting ones. While aspect-orientation originally has emerged at the …

The term model-driven engineering (MDE) is typically used to describe software
development approaches in which abstract models of software systems are created and …

The ability to evolve software rapidly and reliably is a major challenge for software
engineering. In this introductory chapter we start with a historic overview of the research …

Aspect-Oriented Software DevelopementBack Cover CopyCoverage includes Using AOSD
to streamline complex systems development without sacrificing flexibility or scalability How …

Most current software systems contain undocumented high-level ideas implemented across
multiple files and modules. When developers perform program maintenance tasks, they …

Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) requires the construction of feature models from
large, unstructured and heterogeneous documents, and the reliable derivation of product …

Aspect-oriented software development has focused on the software life cycle's
implementation phase: developers identify and capture aspects mainly in code. But aspects …

Existing requirements engineering approaches manage broadly scoped requirements and
constraints in a fashion that is largely two-dimensional, where functional requirements serve …

Analyzing and modelling a software system with separate views is a good practice to deal
with complexity and maintainability. When adopting such a modular approach for modelling …
