engineering, requirements engineering, relating software
requirements and architectures, knowledge management in software
development, rationale-based software development, aligning
enterprise/system/software architectures, and collaborative
system/software engineering. He has more than forty years’
experience in the field of computer systems engineering as an
information systems developer, R&D leader, SE/SA research
analyst, educator in computer sciences, and ICT management
consultant.
In the past 40 years, he has been primarily working at various
R&D institutions and has done consulting on a variety of large
international projects sponsored by ESA, EU, NASA, NATO, and UN. He
has also taught university-level computer sciences courses in
software engineering, software architecture, distributed
information systems, and human-computer interaction. He is the
author or co-author of more than 80 articles and papers in
international journals, conferences, books and workshops, most
recently a chapter Capture of Software Requirements and Rationale
through Collaborative Software Development, a paper Knowledge
Management in the Global Software Engineering Environment, and a
paper Architectural Knowledge Management in Global Software
Development.
He has written a number of editorials and prefaces, most recently
for the book on Aligning Enterprise, System, and Software
Architecture and the book on Agile Software Architecture. He has
also written over 120 technical reports and presented over 70
scientific/technical talks. He has served in many program
committees and panels of reputable international conferences and
organized a number of scientific workshops, most recently two
workshops on Knowledge Engineering in Global Software and
Development at International Conference on Global Software
Engineering 2009 and 2010 and IEEE International Workshop on the
Future of Software Engineering for/in the Cloud (FoSEC) held in
conjunction with IEEE Cloud 2011.He has been the guest-editor of
IEE Proceedings Software: A special Issue on Relating Software
Requirements and Architectures published by IEE in 2005 and the
lead-editor of the book Rationale Management in Software
Engineering published by Springer in 2006. He has been the
co-author of the book Rationale-Based Software Engineering
published by Springer in May 2008. He has been the lead-editor of
the book Collaborative Software Engineering published by Springer
in 2010, the book on Relating Software Requirements and
Architectures published by Springer in 2011 and the lead-editor of
the book on Aligning Enterprise, System, and Software Architectures
published by IGI Global in 2012. He was the lead-editor of the
Expert Systems Special Issue on Knowledge Engineering in Global
Software Development and the co-editor of the JSS Special Issue on
the Future of Software Engineering for/in the Cloud, both published
in 2013. He was the co-editor for the book on Agile Software
Architecture published in 2013. Currently, he is the lead-editor
for the book on Economics-driven Software Architecture to be
published in 2014.
Rami Bahsoon is a Senior lecturer in Software Engineering and
founder of the Software Engineering for/in the Cloud interest
groups at the School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham,
UK. His group currently comprises nine PhD students working in
areas related to cloud software engineering and architectures. The
group’s research aims at developing architecture and frameworks to
support and reason about the development and evolution of
dependable ultra-large complex and data-intensive software systems,
where the investigations span cloud computing architectures and
their economics. Bahsoon had founded and co-organized the
International Software Engineering Workshop series on Software
Architectures and Mobility held in conjunction with ICSE and the
IEEE International Software Engineering IN/FOR the Cloud workshop
in conjunction with IEEE Services. He was the lead editor of two
journal special issues with the Journal of Systems and Software
Elsevier– one on the Future of Software Engineering for/In the
Cloud and another on Architecture and Mobility. Bahsoon has
co-edited a book on Economics-driven Software Architecture, to be
published by Elsevier in 2014 and co-edited another book on
Aligning Enterprise, System, and Software Architectures, published
by IGI Global in 2012. He is currently acting as the workshop chair
for IEEE Services 2014, the Doctoral Symposium chair of IEEE/ACM
Utility and Cloud Computing Conference (UCC 2014) and the track
chair for Utility Computing of HPCC 2014. He holds a PhD in
Software Engineering from University College London (UCL) for his
research on evaluating software architecture stability using real
options. He has also read for MBA-level certificates with London
Business School. Peter Eeles is an IBM Executive IT Architect and
Industry Lead for the Financial Services Sector in IBM Rational's
Worldwide Tiger Team, where he helps organizations improve their
software development and delivery capability. This work is often
performed in conjunction with the adoption of the Rational Unified
Process and associated IBM development tools. Peter has been in the
software industry since 1985 and has spent much of his career
architecting, project managing and implementing large-scale,
distributed systems. He has a particular interest in
architecture-centric initiatives, such as SOA, large-scale
architecting, strategic reuse programs and the like. Prior to
joining Rational Software, which was acquired by IBM in 2003, Peter
was a founding member of Integrated Objects, where he was
responsible for the development of a distributed object
infrastructure. This technology was used by System Software
Associates (an ERP solutions provider) and by Mobile Systems
International (a telecoms solutions provider) where Peter also held
positions. Peter is co-author of "The Process of Software
Architecting" (2009), "Building J2EE Applications with the Rational
Unified Process" (2002), and "Building Business Objects" (1998).
Roshanak Roshandel is an associate professor in the Department of
Computer Science and Software Engineering at Seattle University
where she is also the Director of the Master of Software
Engineering program. She has served on the technical program
committee of numerous conferences and workshops such as ICSE, QoSA,
ISARCS, WADS, and CSEET and has served as reviewer for ACM and
IEEE. Michael Stal is focusing on software architecture,
distributed systems, and programming paradigms. Within Siemens he
is responsible for coaching mission-critical projects on these
topics as well as for education of (senior) software architects. He
was co-author of the book series Pattern-Oriented Software
Architecture and teaches at the University of Groningen about
software architecture and the use of patterns for analyzing the
architecture of distributed systems paradigms.
"This book provides insights on exploring, navigating, pursuing, and learning from bad and good architectures, while looking for best practices for researchers and practitioners…Quality, one of the very important success factors of any software engineering project, is well articulated." --Computing Reviews
