Software Engineering - ESEC '93: 4th European Software Engineering Conference, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, September 13-17, 1993. Proceedings

This volume contains the proceedings of the fourth European

Software Engineering Conference. It contains 6 invited

papers and 27 contributed papers selected from more than 135

submissions.

The volume has a mixtureof themes. Some, such as software

engineering and computer supported collaborative work, are

forward-looking and anticipate future developments; others,

such as systems engineering, are more concerned with reports

of practical industrial applications. Some topics, such as

software reuse, reflect the fact that some of the concerns

first raised in 1969 when software engineering was born

remain unsolved problems.

The contributed papers are organized under the following

headings: requirements specification, environments, systems

engineering, distributed software engineering, real-time

systems, software engineering and computer supported

collaborative work, software reuse, software process, and

formal aspects of software engineering.
