Software engineers take engineering principles such as measurement, modelling and trade-off analysis and apply them to the creation and management of software. As computer systems grow in complexity and power, Software Engineering enables them to adapt to these changes.

A computer network is a collection of computing devices that are connected for the purpose of sharing information or completing tasks.

Any system where data is shared digitally across devices or nodes uses a network. The type of network used depends on a range of variables, such as the number and geographical spread of the devices, the communication protocols, and the transmission medium.

In Distributed Systems, either multiple computers are used, or a single computer contains a network of interacting processes. A hierarchical classification of overheads in parallel programs.

Better software support is required if the technical advances in these systems are to be fully exploited by commerce and industry. This involves the provision of specialised techniques and tools as well as the integration of standard software engineering methods. This book will reflect current advances in this area, and will address issues of theory and practice with contributions from academia and industry.

It is the aim of the book to provide a focus for information on this developing which will be of use to both researchers and practitioners. Editors and affiliations.
