The Kluwer 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 findings, this series provides a forum for information targeted toward Software Engineers.
