Proceedings of 4th International Conference in Software Engineering for Defence Applications

This book presents high-quality original
contributions on new software engineering models, approaches, methods, and
tools and their evaluation in the context of defence and security applications.
In addition, important business and economic aspects are discussed, with a
particular focus on cost/benefit analysis, new business models, organizational
evolution, and business intelligence systems. The contents are based on
presentations delivered at SEDA 2015, the 4th International Conference
in Software Engineering for Defence Applications, which was held in Rome,
Italy, in May 2015. This conference series represents a targeted response to
the growing need for research that reports and debates the practical
implications of software engineering within the defence environment and also
for software performance evaluation in real settings through controlled
experiments as well as case and field studies. The book will appeal to all with
an interest in modeling, managing, and implementing defence-related software
development products and processes in a structured and supportable way.
