www.it-ebooks.info Oracle Database Performance and Scalability www.it-ebooks.info Quantitative Software Engineering Series The Quantitative Engineering Series focuses on the convergence of systems engi- neering with emphasis on quantitative engineering trade-off analysis. Each title brings the principles and theory of programming in-the-large and industrial strength software into focus. This practical series helps software developers, software engineers, systems engi- neers, and graduate students understand and benefit from this convergence through the unique weaving of software engineering case histories, quantitative analysis, and technology into the project effort. You will find each publication reinforces the series goal of assisting the reader with producing useful, well-engineered software systems. Series Editor: Lawrence Bernstein Professor Bernstein is currently an Industry Research Professor at the Stevens Institute of Technology. He previously pursued a distinguished executive career at Bell Laboratories. He is a fellow of the IEEE and ACM. Trustworthy Systems for Quantitative Software Engineering / Larry Bernstein and C.M.
