The LNCS series reports state-of-the-art results in computer science research，development，and education，at a high level and in both printed and electronic form.Enjoying tight cooperation with the R&D community，with numerous individuals，as well as with prestigious organizations and societies，LNCS has grown into the most comprehensive computer science resarch forum available.The scope of LNCS，including its subseries LNAI，spans the whole range of computer science and information technology including interdisciplinary topics in a variety of application fields.The type of material publised traditionally includes.-proceedings（published in time for the respective conference）-post-proceedings（consisting of thoroughly revised final full papers）-research monographs（which may be basde on outstanding PhD work，research projects，technical reports，etc.）

This tutorial book presents an augmented selection of the material presented at the Software Engineering Education and Training Track at the International Conference on Software Engineering， ICSE 2005， held in St. Louis， MO， USA in May 2005.The 12 tutorial lectures presented are the thoroughly revised versions of the most representative and innovative approaches featured at the workshop. The authors revised their papers based on discussions at the conference and the comments they received from the reviews. Together， these papers show the state of the art and practice and the significant challenges facing our field in educating the next generation of software engineers. The papers are organized in topical sections on software engineering education， state of the art and practice： creativity and rigor， challenges for industries and academia， as well as future directions.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Product Focused Software Process Improvement， PROFES 2001， held in Kaiserslautern， Germany， in September 2001.The 27 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on quality of software， software process assessment and improvement， organizational learning and experience factory， industrial experiences and case studies， software and process modeling， and empirical software engineering.

Large Refactorings looks at methods of establish design improvements as an important and independent activity during development of software， and will help to ensure that software continues to adapt， improve and remain easy to read and modify without altering its observable behaviour. It provides real-world experience from real refactored projects and shows how to refactor software to ensure that it is efficient， fresh and adaptable. 作者简介：Stefan Roock works as a consultant and coach for it-agile GmbH （located in Germany）. His areas of expertise include agile software development， refactoring techniques and agile project management and among his special interests are refactoring， incremental design and agile customer coaching. Stefan also is frequently a speaker at technical conferences and has published a number of papers and articles. He is co-author of the book "Extreme Programming in Action".

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Product Family Engineering， PFE 2001， held in Bilbao， Spain， in October 2001.The 31 revised full papers presented together with an introduction and six session reports were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on product issues， process issues， community issues， platform and quality solutions， diversity solutions， product validation， and

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Symposium on Leveraging Applications of Formal Methods， ISoLA 2004， held in Paphos， Cyprus in October/November 2004.The 12 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from more than 70 submissions. The papers discuss issues related to the adoption and use of rigorous tools and methods for the specification， analysis， verification， certification， construction， test， and maintenance of systems. In particular， by discussing common problems， requirements， algorithms， methodologies， and practices， ISoLA aims at supporting researchers in their quest to improve the utility， reliability， flexibility， and efficiency of tools for building systems， and users in their search for adequate solutions to their problems.

The agent metaphor and the agent-based approach to systems design constitute a promising new paradigm for building complex distributed systems. However， until now， the majority of the agent-based applications available have been built by researchers who specialize in agent-based computing and distributed artificial intelligence. If agent-based computing is to become anything more than a niche technology practiced by the few， then the base of people who can successfully apply the approach needs to be broadened dramatically. A major step in this broadening endeavor is the development of methodologies for agent-oriented software engineering accessible to and attractive for professional software engineers in their daily work. Against this background， this book presents one of the first co-herent attempts to develop such a methodology for a broad class of agent-based systems. The author provides a clear introduction to the key issues in the field of agent-oriented software engineering as well as a comprehensive overview of the state of the art. The core contribution is the presentation and application-based evalua-tion of the MASSIVE methodology for iterative multiagent system engineering. The bookwill serve as a valuable source of reference for R&D pro-fessionals active in agent-based computing as well as a gentle and systems development and anced students.
