This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Conference on Software Engineering Research and Applications, SERA 2003, held in San Francisco, CA, USA in June 2003. The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from 104 initial submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on formal methods; component-based software engineering; software quality, requirements engineering, reengineering, and performance analysis; knowledge discovery and artificial intelligence; and database retrieval and human-computer interaction.

This text contains the proceedings of a workshop on software develoDment tools, held at Pingree Park, Colorado in May, 1979. The workshop, for which we were co-chair men, was primarily, but not exclusively, concerned with a variety of tools supporting pre-implementation phases of software development. The workshop brought together researchers and practitioners from industrial, governmental, and academic sectors to compare and assess current work and to set some directions for future work in this emerging technical area. The fifty participants represented research and development efforts in software tools within the United States, Canada, France, Great Britain, and Japan. (A list of participants appears at the end of the text. ) Sponsorship was provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Bureau of Standards, the National Science Foundation, and Digital Equipment Corporation. The conference consisted of seven formal sessions and numerous organized and impromptu discussions. Each session (except the last) included invited papers, prepared remarks by discussants, and an open discussion.
This book offers a systematic approach to knowledge engineering problems. It gives a brief overview of knowledge engineering systems and environments, covering both classical and recent techniques of the design and evaluation of them. Detailed descriptions of particular techniques and applications are also provided.

In the competitive business arena companies must continually strive to create new and better products faster, more efficiently, and more cost effectively than their competitors to gain and keep the competitive advantage. Computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) are now the industry standa
This book is based on the author's advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate course, Computer Security and Reliability, which he has been teaching for the past six years. The author takes an index based quantitative approach to the subject as opposed to the usual verbal or qualitative or subjective case histories. The TWC-Solver, available on an accompanying CD-ROM, contains 10 java-coded, main applications and hundreds of subitems, and assists the reader in understanding the numerical implementations of the book chapters.
It was our great pleasure to extend a welcome to all who participated in SERA 2003, the ?rst world-classs International Conference on Software Engineering Research and Applications, which was held at Crowne Plaza Union Square Hotel, San Francisco, California, USA. The conference was sponsored by the International Association for Computer and Information Science (ACIS), in cooperation with the Software Engine- ing and Information Technology Institute at Central Michigan University. This conference was aimed at discussing the wide range of problems encountered in present and future high technologies. In this conference, we had keynote speeches by Dr. Barry Boehm and Dr. C.V. Ramamoorthy and invited talks by Dr. RaymondYeh, Dr. Raymond Paul, Dr. Mehmet S ̧ahinoglu, which were fruitful to all who participated in SERA 2003. We would like to thank the publicity chairs and the members of our program c- mittees for their work on this conference. We hope that SERA 2003 was enjoyable for all participants.
