This book provides an effective overview of the state-of-the art in software engineering, with a projection of the future of the discipline. It includes 13 papers, written by leading researchers in the respective fields, on important topics like model-driven software development, programming language design, microservices, software reliability, model checking and simulation.

The papers are edited and extended versions of the presentations at the PAUSE symposium, which marked the completion of 14 years of work at the Chair of Software Engineering at ETH Zurich. In this inspiring context, some of the greatest minds in the field extensively discussed the past, present and future of software engineering.

It guides readers on a voyage of discovery through the discipline of software engineering today, offering unique food for thought for researchers and professionals, and inspiring future research and development.

  Bertrand Meyer

Manuel Mazzara is a professor of computer science and Director of the Institute of Technologies and Software Development at Innopolis University (Russia). He has a research background in software engineering, service-oriented architectures, concurrency theory, formal methods and software verification. Always at the interface between science and software production he has cooperated with European and US industry, as well as governmental and inter-governmental organizations such as the United Nations.

Bertrand Meyer, formerly from ETH Zurich, is a professor at Politecnico di Milano (Italy) and Innopolis University (Russia), and Chief Architect at Eiffel Software (based in California). He is also active as a consultant (object-oriented system design, architectural reviews, technology assessment, patents and software litigation), trainer in object technology and other software topics, and conference speaker. He has received numerous awards, including the ACM Software System Award, and fellow of the ACM, the Dahl-Nygaard Prize, and the IEEE Harlan D. Mills Prize.
