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

This book presents high-quality originalcontributions on new software engineering models, approaches, methods, andtools and their evaluation in the context of defence and security applications.In addition, important business and economic aspects are discussed, with aparticular focus on cost/benefit analysis, new business models, organizationalevolution, and business intelligence systems. The contents are based onpresentations delivered at SEDA 2015, the 4th International Conferencein Software Engineering for Defence Applications, which was held in Rome,Italy, in May 2015. This conference series represents a targeted response tothe growing need for research that reports and debates the practicalimplications of software engineering within the defence environment and alsofor software performance evaluation in real settings through controlledexperiments as well as case and field studies. The book will appeal to all withan interest in modeling, managing, and implementing defence-related softwaredevelopment products and processes in a structured and supportable way.
