Handbook of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering

Standardization in software engineering plays an important role for integrating, regulating, and optimizing existing best practices and fundamental theories in software development and organization. An idiom says that one can “gain new knowledge by reviewing the past.” This chapter reviews current software engineering and software quality related standards and the history of their development. ...

The field of multimedia software engineering is still in an inmature state. Significant research and development has been dedicated towards multimedia services and systems technology such as networking or database systems. Multimedia document formats have been standardized. But when it comes to multimedia application development, the development process is truncated to an implement-and-test met...

Reverse ) Engineering Vacuum Alignment

In the presence of spontaneous symmetry breaking, the alignment of the vacuum with respect to the gauge group is often controlled by quadratically divergent operators in the low energy non-linear sigma model. In principle the magnitudes and signs of these operators can be changed by making different assumptions about the ultraviolet physics, but in practice all known ways of regulating these th...
