Abstract

Future complex software-intensive systems (SIS) will be vastly different from the software systems that run today’s world. Revolutionary advances in hardware, networking, information, and human interface technologies will require entirely new ways of thinking about how software-intensive systems are conceptualized, built, and evaluated. As we envision the future of tera1-computing and even peta2-computing environments, new science of design principles are needed to provide the foundations for managing issues of complexity, composition, quality, cost, and control of software-intensive systems.
