Towards a theory of software engineering

Abstract

A theory of software engineering (SE) is presented and its application to explaining and analysing SE situations is illustrated. The theory is based on a characterization of SE representations and the fundamental activities that are applied to them. Motivations for developing a theory and means of establishing its validity are also discussed.
