Radical Innovations of Software and Systems Engineering in the Future

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Radical Innovations of Software and Systems Engineering in the Future, RISSEF 2002, held in Venice, Italy, in October 2002. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from the 36 invited workshop presentations. The authors evaluate all major paradigms and conceptual issues in software and systems design and analysis, especially regarding their potential for modifications to cope with future needs.
