| Economy and industry is experiencing a transformation towards software- and services-based businesses. Modern products and services increasingly embed software, or are cus-tomized, optimized or managed using software (examples include health, transportation, and utilities). Software engineering is thus playing an increasingly important key role in the re-sponsiveness, quality and security of many industries. Mastering software challenges through advanced software engineering techniques, methods and tools is a must for all soft-ware-intensive industry sectors to stay competitive with their products and services. As an example, using cloud environments and applying big data approaches in the software devel-opment and software lifecycle is needed to keep pace with the accelerating market de-mands. As another example, being able to deal with the increasing complexity of software systems as triggered by cyber-physical systems or large scale distributed services requires fundamentally new models and approaches in software engineering. In this white paper, the European Technology Platform NESSI (Networked European Soft-ware and Services Initiative) seeks to raise awareness for the continued and even increased need for EU software engineering research and innovation programmes in order for Europe to remain competitive and innovative. To this end, this white paper reflects NESSI?s input to the forthcoming Horizon 2020 work programme (ICT/LEIT WP2016-2017). Specifi-cally, it describes NESSI?s view on software engineering research and innovation by identify-ing important research challenges and recommendations. This white paper identifies relevant software engineering research challenges faced in software engineering for future software-intensive systems in three major technology areas: ? Software engineering in and for the Cloud ? Software engineering for Cyber-Physical Systems ? Software engineering for and with Big Data This white paper also provides recommendations on how the specifics software should be addressed during product and service innovation. In addition, the paper provides recom-mendations on skill and competency building needed for a well-trained industry work-force. Finally, it delivers recommendations for maximizing the impact of software engineer-ing research and innovation projects based on lessons learned from past FP7 projects. As analysed and demonstrated throughout this white paper, software engineering principles, techniques, methods and tools need to evolve and novel ones need to be devised in order to keep up with fast-paced technology and societal changes and therefore being able to cope with the new challenges. Due to the growing complexity and multi-disciplinarity, software engineering solutions cannot be devised by companies and research organisations in isola-tion. Similar to other engineering disciplines, software engineering research and innovation requires concerted efforts of industry and academia to deliver practically relevant and significant solutions. This requires performing industry-near research exploiting real-world software engineering cases. For Europe to remain competitive, this means that the opportunity and specific needs for such joint research and innovation efforts should be sustained; ideally, even increased. In addition, Europe should strive to better reuse, exploit and leverage already existing out-comes of past research projects. Together such activities will reduce the risk that Europe might lose the competitive ground on software and software-intensive systems and, as a result, will strongly depend on software technology and skills from non-European countries to a higher degree than advisable. | |
