Traditional Software Engineering (SE) research and practices include requirements engineering,
software project management, design, development, testing and implementation of software
applications. This discipline is well developed as the practice has been well established over the past
50 years or so, however, with the emergence of the high attractive paradigm of Cloud Computing, the
tools and techniques for Software Engineering are changing. Cloud Computing provides the latest
software development environments, and necessary platforms relatively easily and inexpensively. It
also allows the provision of software applications equally easily and on a pay-as-you-go basis. Business
requirements for the use of software are also changing. There is a need for applications for Bid Data
Analytics, parallel computing, AI, Natural Language Processing, biometrics, etc. These require huge
amount of computing power and sophisticated data management mechanisms as well as device
connectivity for the IoT environments. Cloud Computing offerings, in terms of hardware, software,
communication, and storage are highly attractive for developing complex software that is now
becoming a need of the hour for all sectors of life including commerce, health, education,
transportation, etc.
The focus of the suggested book is on the development and implementation of cloud-based complex
software that allows parallelism, fast processing, and real-time connectivity. The relevant topics
include the following:
Hopefully, the proposed text will fill a gap in the SE literature and practice by providing scientific
contributions from researchers and practitioners, focusing on frameworks, methodologies,
applications, benefits, and inherent issues/barriers of engineering software using the cloud
computing paradigm.
