This book focuses on next generation data technologies in support of collective and computational intelligence. The book brings various next generation data technologies together to capture, integrate, analyze, mine, annotate and visualize distributed data – made available from various community users – in a meaningful and collaborative for the organization manner. A unique perspective on collective computational intelligence is offered by embracing both theory and strategies fundamentals such as data clustering, graph partitioning, collaborative decision making, self-adaptive ant colony, swarm and evolutionary agents. It also covers emerging and next generation technologies in support of collective computational intelligence such as Web 2.0 social networks, semantic web for data annotation, knowledge representation and inference, data privacy and security, and enabling distributed and collaborative paradigms such as P2P, Grid and Cloud Computing due to the geographically dispersed and distributed nature of the data. The book aims to cover in a comprehensive manner the combinatorial effort of utilizing and integrating various next generations collaborative and distributed data technologies for computational intelligence in various scenarios. The book also distinguishes itself by assessing whether utilization and integration of next generation data technologies can assist in the identification of new opportunities, which may also be strategically fit for purpose.

Software engineering is widely recognized as one of the most exciting, stimulating, and profitable research areas, with a significant practical impact on the software industry. Thus, training future generations of software engineering researchers and bridging the gap between academia and industry are vital to the field. The International Summer School on Software Engineering (ISSSE), which started in 2003, aims to contribute both to training future researchers and to facilitating the exchange of knowledge between academia and industry. This volume consists of chapters originating from a number of tutorial lectures given in 2009, 2010, and 2011 at the International Summer School on Software Engineering, ISSSE, held in Salerno, Italy. The volume has been organized into three parts, focusing on software measurement and empirical software engineering, software analysis, and software management. The topics covered include software architectures, software product lines, model driven software engineering, mechatronic systems, aspect oriented software development, agile development processes, empirical software engineering, software maintenance, impact analysis, traceability management, software testing, and search-based software engineering.
