New Trends in Software Methodologies, Tools and Techniques: Proceedings of the seventh SoMeT_08: v. 182 (Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications) Fujita, H. and Zualkernan, I.

"New Trends in Software Methodologies, Tools and Techniques", as part of the "SoMeT" series, contributes to new trends and theories in the direction in which the editors believe software science and engineering may develop in order to transform the role of software and science integration in tomorrow's global information society. This book is an attempt to capture the essence of a new state-of-the-art in software science and its supporting technology. Aiming at identifying the challenges such a technology has to master. It contains extensively reviewed papers given at the Seventh International Conference on New Trends in Software Methodology Tools, and Techniques (SoMeT_08) held in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. One of the important issues addressed in this book is handling cognitive issues on software development to adapt to user mental state. Tools and techniques have been contributed here. Another aspect challenged in this conference was intelligent software design in software security. This book, and the series, will also contribute to the elaboration on such new trends and related academic research studies and development.
