IT Crisisology: Smart Crisis Management in Software Engineering (eBook)

This book focuses on crisis management in software development which includes forecasting, responding and adaptive engineering models, methods, patterns and practices. It helps the stakeholders in understanding and identifying the key technology, business and human factors that may result in a software production crisis. These factors are particularly important for the enterprise-scale applications, typically considered very complex in managerial and technological aspects and therefore, specifically addressed by the discipline of software engineering. Therefore, this book throws light on the crisis responsive, resilient methodologies and practices; therewith, it also focuses on their evolutionary changes and the resulting benefits.

Dr. Sergey V. Zykov completed his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from Moscow Engineering Physics Institute in the year 1994 and 2000, respectively. Presently, Dr. Zykov is working as Professor in National Research University, Higher School of Economics, Russia. He is a member of many professional organisations like IWA, IIIS and KES Intl. He is a member of many reputed journal boards - International Journal of Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Engineering System and Intelligent Decision Technologies. He has published three books - 'Managing Software Crisis: A Smart Way to Enterprise Agility' , 'Agile Enterprise Engineering: Smart Application of Human Factors' and 'Crisis Management for Software Development and Knowledge Transfer' by Springer, and 'Software Engineering for Enterprise System Agility' with IGI Global.
