About this book

This authoritative text/reference describes the state of the art in requirements engineering for software systems for distributed computing. A particular focus is placed on integrated solutions, which take into account the requirements of scalability, flexibility, sustainability and operability for distributed environments. Topics and features: discusses the latest developments, tools, technologies and trends in software requirements engineering; reviews the relevant theoretical frameworks, practical approaches and methodologies for service requirements; examines the three key components of the requirements engineering process, namely requirements elicitation, requirements specification, and requirements validation and evaluation; presents detailed contributions from an international selection of highly reputed experts in the field; offers guidance on best practices, and suggests directions for further research in the area.

Reviews

“This is an edited collection of papers, authored by experts from academia and industry, on the progress and update of requirements handling specific to the subfields of cloud computing and service. … The content is well balanced between technical and introductory papers, which cover very technical aspects as well as details of the theory and good practical knowledge. … I would recommend the book to academics, researchers, and professionals.” (Computing Reviews, November, 2017)
