Description

In science, we try to separate the different views
in order to evaluate things in a more realistic way.
In this book, we present the overall research
theories, models and developments that occur in the
software engineering field from the four views or
perspectives; Process, Project, People and Product.
The goal is to make a distinction between the
progresses in each area and explore the
opportunities in finding windows for more research
in any of those four views. This will also organize
the software engineering project into smaller
manageable parts that can be easy to understand and
identify. It should reduce complexity and improve
clarity. This concept is at the core of software
engineering. The 4Ps concerns overlap and distinct.
The book will try to point to the two sides.
Concepts such as; ontology, abstraction, modeling
and views or separation of concerns always include
some sort of abstraction or focus. The goal is to
draw a better image or understanding for the
problem. In another goal, we hope that the
separation of concerns will help software
engineering students better understand the large
number of modeling and terminology concepts.
