What are the Research challenges?What are the Research challenges?

• Trend to large, heterogeneous, distributed software systems leads to an increase in system complexity.

• Software and service productivity lags behind requirements.

• Increased complexity takes software developers further from stakeholders.

• Importance of interoperability, standardization and reuse of software increasing.

ObjectivesObjectives

To support the competitive position of European software industry (notably SMEs) in more globalised and service-oriented markets. This requires advanced capabilities in the engineering and management of software systems, services and applications and is to be addressed by creating and extending open and interoperable platforms, methodologies, middleware, standards and tools. The results will enable the design and management of complex software systems and, particularly, the simple and low-cost creation of new types of services and applications, including those for the mobile user.

Software engineering researchSoftware engineering research

Foundational and applied research to enable the creation of software systems with properties such as self-adaptability, flexibility, robustness, dependability and evolvability.

Emphasis should be on high level methods and concepts (especially at requirements and architectural level) for system design, development and integration, testing, light/agile methodologies, collaborative and distributed development; end-user development.

NoEs, STREPs

16

Open Source SoftwareOpen Source Software

Research into technologies specifically supporting the development, deployment, evolution and benchmarking of open source software.Investigation into the use of open source models for improving software engineering. This investigation should be based on agreed indicators of productivity and quality and result in a measurement of the economic impact of OSS.
