Software Engineering and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic on software engineering and applications (SEA) aims to provide a forum for scientists/researchers/engineers/practitioners and academicians to share their ideas, experiences, and research in various aspects and applications of software engineering. SEA covers all the frontier issues and trends in modern software development processes. It includes process models, development processes for different software platforms (e.g., social networks, clouds), a process for adaptive, dependable, embedded systems, agile development, software engineering practices, requirements, systems, and design engineering including architectural design, component-level design, formal methods, software modeling, testing strategies, tactics, process and product metrics, web engineering, project management, risk management, and configuration management. This Topic will also consider papers on the development process of software/software systems (including AI-based systems) in various application areas, e.g., agriculture, aviation industry, business, cybercrime, education, government, and the military.

The following topics are welcome:

• Software development fundamentals;
• Software process models;
• Software standardization and certification;
• Advanced topics in software engineering.
• Agile, DevOps models, practices, challenges;
• Software requirement engineering;
• Software process assessment (SPA) and software process improvement (SPI);
• Software maintenance and testing;
• Software quality management;
• Artifacts, software verification and validation;
• Software project management;

Software engineering practices and applications

• Knowledge-based systems and formal methods;
• Algorithms and programming languages;
• Search engines and information retrieval;
• AI for software systems;
• Multimedia and visual software engineering;
• Formal methods;
