Foreword I
The Internet has become both the nervous system that coordinates our society and the brain in which all human knowledge is kept and accessed. It changed from being a network of networks enabling access to remote machines to a network of content, applications, people, and (software) services, thereby weaving itself into the fabric of today’s global and interconnected physical world and society. The indispensable Internet poses many new challenges to software engineering; these challenges are becoming particularly acute with the emergence of computing applications that exploit the Internet in new ways. The emergence—and even the convergence—of mobile and cloud computing, sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, data analytics, and the Internet of Things is pulling software engineering further and further from the comfort zone of principles and techniques that have prevailed for decades. This book presents results of an ambitious plan to meet the challenges paradigmatically, i.e., to systematically re-examine the fundamental aspects of WHAT-IS, HOW-TO-DO, HOW-TO-RUN, and HOW-WELL for software systems situated in the open and dynamic Internet environment. Prof. Hong Mei and Prof. Jian Lü led the research and coined the word “Internetware” to name the
