New challenges in future software engineering

Abstract

Traditional Software Engineering focuses its main attention on software reliability. However, today, in this insecure, complex, changing world, the design, development, operation, and maintenance of any information/software system have to consider information security issues carefully and seriously. This position paper discusses intrinsic differences between Software Reliability Engineering and Information Security Engineering, presents some new quality evaluation criteria and related challenges in future advanced Software Engineering, and shows that Ada 2012 will play an important role in future advanced Software Engineering. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
