Software engineering is about continuously balancing three key dimensions: technology, people, and value:
- technology: how to apply SE techniques to manage software development.
- people: how to empower people to work effectively and manage complexity.
- value: the continuous economical trade-offs that must be considered; are the costs worth the benefits, are development efforts delivering value to the customer.
Our unique approach is to 'calibrate' this balance using the vision and techniques of scalable design, with a toolbox of common, state-of-the-art and unique composition techniques, the latter developed in recent years at the University of Twente.
A scalable design has the ability to enhance the design model of a system by adding or modifying functionality or features with minimal effort (impact). In other words, it is a design that is scalable with respect to evolving requirements, growing features and functionality, changes and extensions, and alternative implementations for different environments and platforms.
