Global Software Engineering (icgse) 2017

Integrating Security and Software Engineering: Advances and Future Visions provides the first step towards narrowing the gap between security and software engineering. This book introduces the field of secure software engineering, which is a branch of research investigating the integration of security concerns into software engineering practices. Integrating Security and Software Engineering: Advances and Future Visions discusses problems and challenges of considering security during the development of software systems, and also presents the predominant theoretical and practical approaches that integrate security and software engineering.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th Software Quality Days Conference, SWQD 2017, held in Vienna, Austria, in January 2017.
The SWQD conference offers a range of comprehensive and valuable information by presenting new ideas from the latest research papers, keynote speeches by renowned academics and industry leaders, professional lectures, exhibits, and tutorials.

Collaboration among individuals – from users to developers – is central to modern software engineering. It takes many forms: joint activity to solve common problems, negotiation to resolve conflicts, creation of shared definitions, and both social and technical perspectives impacting all software development activity. The difficulties of collaboration are also well documented. The grand challenge is not only to ensure that developers in a team deliver effectively as individuals, but that the whole team delivers more than just the sum of its parts.
