Abstract
We claim that a good basis for a course in Software Engineering is to have a group of students make a computer program for the game of Monopoly. We discuss our experiences in organizing and running such a course, and on the computer program that resulted from the most recent version of the course.

Development of software engineering: co-operative efforts from academia, government and industry
ICSE '06: Proceedings of the 28th international conference on Software engineeringIn the past 40 years, software engineering has emerged as an important sub-field of computer science. The quality and productivity of software have been improved and the cost and risk of software development been decreased due to the contributions made ...
A Software Engineering Ontology as Software Engineering Knowledge Representation
ICCIT '08: Proceedings of the 2008 Third International Conference on Convergence and Hybrid Information Technology - Volume 02This paper aims to present software engineering ontology as software engineering knowledge representation for a multi-site software development. It will not only facilitate the capturing of software engineering knowledge but also enhance the sharing of ...
