The Development of an Artificial Life based Software Ecosystem Model

The generative software development process might be applied to an organizations development process to quickly automate the system and create a streamline of applications that work and can be integrated without several phases to follow before implementation can occur. This can be used for

Software Development has evolved immensely over the past few decades and especially in the past few years. We have seen an increase in the demand for software across all platforms. Electronic device usage is growing worldwide and every one of those devices requires software whether it has a user interface or not. Think about the transportation industry, semi-autonomous vehicles are offered by many different auto makers with more and more of them announcing their plans to automate driving each year. The software that runs this aspect of the vehicle only has a small user interface footprint but the requirement for software development perfection has exponential consequences. This is becoming the norm in our everyday lives. More and more

According to Versace (2014), the Internet of the Twenty-First Century has opened up a whole new and exciting way for how one does business. With this paradigm shift of doing things differently, the effects are moving through “several business models forcing companies to adapt or be left behind” (Versace, 2014, p. 1). The expansion of the Internet and technological industry has no boundaries and caters to all ages. Versace (2014) stated, “several industries that have only just starting embracing the Internet, and one of them is the gambling and casino industry:” (para. 3). The online gaming business or iGaming, “has grown into a multi-billion-dollar business, particularly in Europe,” (Versace, 2008).

At its inception, software engineering was a very arduous process. It was expensive and complicated. Nevertheless like many other commodities, software became cheaper and easier to create over time. Now software dictates many parts of our daily lives. Millions of people rely on a myriad of software based products, from regular consumers, business, governments, healthcare providers among other demographics. It is imperative that the software we use is reliable and accessible. Many methods and approaches to software engineering have been created to accomplish this. Some of these efforts are suited for some types of software more than others. Choosing the right method depends on the software’s purpose, resources, and requirements. Since

The rapid evolution in computer systems - both at hardware & software levels has allowed us to develop complex applications composed of millions of lines of code. This increase in complexity of software has necessitated that software developers ensure programs be of high quality, be developed within time & meet its specification. It was during college that I developed an interest in Software Engineering as a scientific discipline of developing applications. I became aware of the different software development methodologies and the various stages in

In this first assignment, TWO software development methodologies will be examined using the first four laws given in the prescribed text.

(Aggarwal and Singh, 2005) described software as being more than a program as it constitute of not only a program code but also the operating procedures and the related documentation. Thus, we can explain the meaning of a software using the following equation:

In the last few years, the software development evolves in an important manner MDD is a group of approaches, theories and methodological frameworks for industrialized software development.

This paper was prepared for CMP 660 - Issues and Trends in Software Engineering taught by Dr. Hammad Elbedour.

In recently years, requirements of software products from economic markets in all over the world become stronger and frequently. Software companies need to complete software programs which come from huge amounts of users, and at the same time, software companies also need to fulfilled users’ requirements for function and requirements for high quality products. Most of times these develop companies need to do excellent products without a long development period and plenty of

Next the text proceeds to list 7 categories that challenge today 's software engineers such as system software, web applications, artificial intelligence software, and others. The book goes on to say that a some of the challenges are being built on new systems but many already exist and must be changed and/or adapted to fit the ever-changing needs of the world and society. Then the text describes new challenges that have yet to be tackled completely like open-world computing, netsourcing, and open source projects. Then there is a short mention of legacy

“Software engineering is like an art in that it begins with a problem and ends with the creation of a solution that solves it (Blum, p.9).” Engineers grew out of the ashes of the problems of the world. Software engineers deal with problems and maintenance in computer software. For a computer to find a solution to anything, programs have to be designed and written into the computer using models for the software process. Bernd Bruegge, in his presentation titled, Software Lifecycle Models, states “a software process represents all the phases needed to create a program, from the study of the goals leading to the objective, to the maintenance of said goals and how the phases relate to one another.” There are many different models used as guidelines to form the software process needed to create a program, but this paper will prove how the waterfall model performs the software process in the most reliable and user-friendly fashion. The waterfall model will be defined and then compared to the V-model, prototype model, and Boehm’s spiral model, with all aspects in relation to software engineering.

In these three and half years of study, I have strived to maintain an approach of expending independent effort in all my endeavors. Learning by myself and sharing my knowledge with others has been most worthwhile, when comprehending a concept. My interest in Software Engineering arouse when I was in my second year of under graduation. I believe that Software Engineering is the application of disciplined, systematic approach to the operation, development and maintenance of software. The discipline of software engineering that increased my interest towards this field is it covers tools, knowledge and methods to define software requirements and to perform computer programming, software design, user interface design, software maintenance tasks and software testing

In this stage, both the software developer and the customer would come together to lay out the aim of the system software, in addition, information such as requirements of the software system are put to light, not withstanding information which contribute to the outcome of the software.

“Programmer- an organism that turns coffee into software.” This quote by an unknown author adequately sums up the life of professional programmers according to many literary sources. But, they can’t do it alone, programmers use tools to aid the development and debugging of their works. This is where Integrated development environments(IDEs) and software development kits(SDKs) come in, they help the programmer to write consistent code that can be debugged easily. But the recent trend is away from traditional development environments and towards environments that can easily transfer work from one platform to another. Newer software for programmers is helping them get the job done.
