Abstract
Software engineering occupies an increasingly critical role in companies across all sectors, but too many software initiatives end up both off target and over budget. A surer path is optimized for speed, open to experimentation and learning, agile, and subject to regular course correcting. Good ideas tend to be abundant, though execution at high velocity is elusive. The good news is that velocity is controllable; companies can invest systematically to increase it.

A Software Engineering Ontology as Software Engineering Knowledge Representation
ICCIT '08: Proceedings of the 2008 Third International Conference on Convergence and Hybrid Information Technology - Volume 02This paper aims to present software engineering ontology as software engineering knowledge representation for a multi-site software development. It will not only facilitate the capturing of software engineering knowledge but also enhance the sharing of ...
Development of software engineering: co-operative efforts from academia, government and industry
ICSE '06: Proceedings of the 28th international conference on Software engineeringIn the past 40 years, software engineering has emerged as an important sub-field of computer science. The quality and productivity of software have been improved and the cost and risk of software development been decreased due to the contributions made ...
