Informationen zum Autor Roel Wieringa is professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Twente! The Netherlands. He is author of Requirements Engineering (Wiley) and has edited several other books and published over 50 papers on software design methods. He has been involved in several national and international research projects with academia and industry in the area of requirements specification! distributed information systems! and software design methods. Zusammenfassung Describes methods and techniques for the design of software systems - particularly reactive software systems that engage in stimulus-response behavior. This work helps the software designer meet the challenges by presenting specification techniques and guidelines - allowing the designer to evaluate different techniques for different projects.
