Abstract

Software systems form the foundation of the modern information society. As such, whether stand-alone or embedded in other technological systems, they are crucial to the continuing development of global society in all its spheres: social, political, economic, and cultural. For example, solving large-scale humanitarian and environmental problems calls for sophisticated software systems of the highest quality.
