Publisher's Synopsis
Software methodologies, tools and techniques have become an ever more important part of our lives, and are crucial to the decision-making processes that affect us every day. This book presents papers from the 19th International Conference on New Trends in Intelligent Software Methodology Tools, and Techniques (SoMeT20), held in Kitakyushu, Japan from 22-24 September 2020. The SoMeT conferences bring together researchers and practitioners to share their original research results and experience of practical developments in software science and related new technologies, and this book explores new trends and theories that highlight the direction and development of intelligent software methodologies, tools and techniques. It covers newly developed techniques, enhanced methodologies, software related solutions and recently developed tools, as well as indicating the direction of future research, and the 40 revised papers included here have been selected by the SoMeT20 international reviewing committee on the basis of technical soundness, relevance, originality, significance, and clarity. The book is divided into 5 chapters: artificial intelligence techniques on software engineering, and requirement engineering; software methods for informatics, medical informatics and bio-medicine applications; applied software tools, techniques and related software engineering models; intelligent-software systems design, software quality, software evolution and validation techniques; and knowledge science and intelligent computing. Providing an overview of the state-of-the-art in software science and its supporting technology, this book will be of interest to all those working in the field.
