ABOUT THE AUTHORS
The authors are scientists and working professionals, members of the Reuse in Software Engineering (RiSE) Group, with significant theoretical and practical knowledge the area, having successfully applied software reuse principles in the industry over the last five years.
The authors are involved with:
• Software reuse research, through post-graduate degrees in Computer Science (Ph.D., M.Sc.) courses in Software reuse and related subjects, cooperation with groups in Brazil and elsewhere (Germany, France, Sweden, Switzerland, U.S.); writing and reviewing papers for conferences and journals such as Journal of Systems and Software (JSS), participating in Conferences (ECOOP, WCRE, CBSE, ICSR, IRI, COMPSAC, EUROMICRO) and organizing workshops and scientific meetings in Brazil;
• Software reuse practice: applying theories, methods, process, techniques, as well as developing and using tools and environments for software reuse, at the Recife Center for Advanced Studies and Systems (C.E.S.A.R) in five software reuse industrial projects.
We have structured the book around a comprehensive framework that is being applied in industry and university, matching research + theory with practice in the real world.
