The K1uwer International Series in Software Engineering addresses the following goals: To coherently and consistently present important research topics and their application(s). To present evolved concepts in one place as a coherent whole, updating early versions of the ideas and notations. • To provide publications which will be used as the ultimate reference on the topic by experts in the area.
• •
With the dynamic growth evident in this field and the need to communicate fmdings, this series provides a forum for information targeted toward Software Engineers.
