The aim of this seminar is to elaborate a broad overview of the current trends in software engineering and to analyze the potential application fields. The seminar comprises topics in the field of software development processes and management as well as software development paradigms and respective methodologies. New trends in this area are for example agile software development, model-driven engineering, or product line engineering. In these approaches techniques like rapid prototyping, domain specific modeling, model transformation languages, design patterns, aspect-oriented programming, and extreme programming are applied. Furthermore, management aspects like software risk management, CMMI, software metrics are of interest in this seminar.
