On agent-based software engineering

by Nicholas R. Jennings, Michael Wooldridge - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE , 2000
"... Agent-oriented techniques represent an exciting new means of analysing, designing and building complex software systems. They have the potential to significantly improve current practice in software engineering and to extend the range of applications that can feasibly be tackled. Yet, to date, there ..."

No Silver Bullet: Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering

by Frederick P. Brooks - IEEE Computer , 1987
"... Of all the monsters that fill the nightmares of our folklore, none terrify more than werewolves, because they transform unexpectedly from the familiar into horrors. For these, one seeks bullets of silver that can magically lay them to rest. The familiar software project, at least as seen by the nont ..."

An open graph visualization system and its applications to software engineering

by Emden R. Gansner, Stephen C. North - SOFTWARE - PRACTICE AND EXPERIENCE , 2000
"... We describe a package of practical tools and libraries for manipulating graphs and their drawings. Our design, which aimed at facilitating the combination of the package components with other tools, includes stream and event interfaces for graph operations, high-quality static and dynamic layout alg ..."

algorithms, and the ability to handle sizable graphs. We conclude with a description of the applications of this package to a variety of software engineering tools.

Agent-Oriented Software Engineering

by Michael Wooldridge, P. Ciancarini , 1999
"... Software and knowledge... In this article, we argue that intelligent agents and agent-based systems offer novel opportunities for developing effective tools and techniques. Following a discussion on the classic subject of what makes software complex, we introduce intelligent agents as software struc ..."

structures capable of making "rational decisions". Such rational decision-makers are well-suited to the construction of certain types of software, which mainstream software engineering has had little success with. We then go on to examine a number of prototype techniques proposed for engineering

Software Engineering Software Engineering

by Ian Sommerville - Annals of Software Engineering , 1990
"... This paper describes how we have modified a software engineering stream within a computer science course to include broader concepts of systems engineering. We justify this inclusion by showing how many reported problems with large systems are not just software problems but relate to system issues s ..."
