Advances in Software and Systems Engineering (ASSE)

Sofia, Bulgaria, 6 - 9 September, 2020

Committee

Advances in Software and Systems Engineering (ASSE) is a workshop organized in the scope of the FedCSIS Track 5. It is aimed at covering all research aspects related to the development and application of various methodologies, techniques, and technologies in Software and System Engineering (SSE). We particularly emphasize here a strong synergy of Software and System Engineering, in various ways.

One viewpoint of such synergy is in the fact that many Software Engineering methods and techniques were evolved to the level of their practical application in System Engineering, and by this they were also recognized latter on as very successful and common System Engineering methods and techniques. Another important viewpoint is in that services and products engineered by various Software Engineering methods and techniques become components of often very complex systems in various problem domains. By this, engineers are mostly forced to synchronously apply both Software and System Engineering methods and techniques to specify and develop complex systems in the target problem domains. The third and not less important viewpoint is that software systems are to be also observed as systems in general. In this way, software engineers need to apply not only specific software engineering methods and techniques in the software development process, but also common system engineering methods and techniques.

The main goal of ASSE is to address open questions and real potentials for various applications of modern methodologies, techniques, and technologies in Software and System Engineering so as to develop and implement effective software services in the support of information management and system engineering. Also, ASSE targets all research and development aspects, which bring to the societies new or improved approaches, processes, methodologies, or techniques of SSE.
