| Abstract
|
:
|
Advances in Computers remains at the forefront in presenting the new developments in the ever-changing field of information technology. Since 1960, Advances in Computers has chronicled the constantly shifting theories and methods of this technology that greatly shape our lives today. Volume 56 presents eight chapters that describe how the software, hardware and applications of computers are changing the use of computers during the early part of the 21st century:·Software Evolution and the Staged Model of the Software Lifecycle·Embedded Software·Empirical Studies of Quality Models in Object-Orie.
