Software Engineering Approaches to Enable Digital Transformation Technologies

Software Engineering Approaches to Enable Digital Transformation Technologies features contributions reflecting ideas and research in enabling digital transformation technologies through software engineering. To date, multiple, different approaches have been adopted to develop software solutions for a variety of different problems. Of all the available approaches, the main approaches are level-oriented, data flow-oriented, data structure-oriented, and object-oriented design approaches. The other focus of the book is digital transformation, which can be defined as the adoption of digital technology to improve efficiency, value, and innovation

Digitalization is more than just putting additional technological systems and services in place. Rather than improving conventional methods, a true digital transformation initiative includes radically rethinking company structures and procedures. There are four types of digital transformation: business process, business model, domain, and cultural and organizational. Companies are being challenged to develop new business models that consider and harness digitalization. From the standpoint of software engineering, digital transformation alters how software is built.

Current trends include the development of mobile applications, cloud applications, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Emerging trends are the development of digital twins, robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, augmented reality, and additive manufacturing. This book examines the challenges that arise due to digitization in society and presents plausible solutions that could be applied to counter these challenges and convert them into opportunities. These solutions may further be improvised and worked out for the software companies from the technological perspective, organizational perspective, and management perspective.

《軟體工程方法以促進數位轉型技術》收錄了關於軟體工程在促進數位轉型技術方面的想法和研究。迄今為止，已經採用了多種不同的方法來開發解決各種不同問題的軟體解決方案。在所有可用的方法中，主要的方法有層次導向、資料流導向、資料結構導向和物件導向設計方法。本書的另一個重點是數位轉型，它可以被定義為採用數位技術來提高效率、價值和創新。

數位化不僅僅是增加技術系統和服務。真正的數位轉型倡議包括徹底重新思考公司結構和程序，而不是改進傳統方法。數位轉型有四種類型：業務流程、業務模型、領域和文化組織。公司面臨著發展考慮和利用數位化的新業務模型的挑戰。從軟體工程的角度來看，數位轉型改變了軟體的建構方式。

目前的趨勢包括開發移動應用程式、雲應用程式和物聯網應用程式。新興趨勢包括數位孿生、機器人技術、人工智慧、機器學習、擴增實境和增材製造。本書探討了數位化在社會中帶來的挑戰，並提出了可能應對這些挑戰並將其轉化為機會的解決方案。這些解決方案可以從技術、組織和管理的角度進一步改進和應用於軟體公司。
