Abstract

This paper attempts to define the principles and goals that affect the practice of software engineering. Its intent is to organize these aspects of software engineering into a framework that rationalizes and encourages their proper use, while placing in perspective the diversity of techniques, methods, and tools that presently comprise the subject of software engineering.
