The books are: "Software Requirement Engineering, 2nd Edition" ISBN: 0-8186-7738-4 This book describes current best practices in requirements engineering with a focus primarily on software systems that may contain other elements such as hardware of people. "Software Engineering" ISBN: 0-8186-7609-4 This book describes current best practices in software engineering. It begins with an overviews of current issue and in particular the engineering of large, complex, software-intensive systems. The book also covers the roles of project management, quality assurance, configuration management, standards, metrics, and the software process. Emerging technologies and education are also discussed.
