Software Requirements Engineering: A Risk-Driven Approach Requirements Engineering (RE) is concerned with t he elicitation, evaluation, specification, analysis and evolution of the requirements on a software-intensive system. Risk analysis at RE time aims at an ticipating adverse conditions...

Many programmers use programming tools but hesitate to modify them to accommodate challenging scenarios—taking on the role of a tool builder seems too costly, maybe not even rewarding. We propose a new perspective on graphical tools and provide a framework to build and modify such tools with a...

Engineering Scalable Propagation in Constraint Programming Constraint Programming is a declarative paradigm to solve combinatorial problems. This thesis focuses on one of its core components, propagation, which is responsible for eliminating provable wrong combinations. Besides, the amount of...

A software product line (SPL) is a set of software-intensive systems that share a common, managed set of features and that are developed from a common set of core assets in a prescribed way. Quality assurance is a goal for success in software industry, but it is even more important in SPL...
