Road Map to Software Engineering

JAMES W. MOORE is a thirty-five-year veteran of software engineering and a fifteen-year veteran of software engineering standardization. With degrees from the University of North Carolina and Syracuse, he has worked in both the commercial and defense sectors for IBM and, now, The MITRE Corporation. Currently he serves as the Vice President for Electronic Products and Services of the IEEE Computer Society and as the liaison between ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 and the IEEE Software and Systems Engineering Standards Committee, the world's two largest providers of software and systems engineering standards. He is an Executive Editor of the IEEE Computer Society's Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge and a member of the Editorial Board of the recent revision of the Encyclopedia of Software Engineering.

"If there were anything else the reader would want from this book, I cannot contemplate what that might be." (Software Quality Professional, September 2007) "Moore's book is exactly what his title says...consider it a valuable index and commentary—the Cliff Notes" for IEEE standards." (CHOICE, June 2006)"For readers who want a book about standards and how they can be used in a software engineering context, this is the book to have." (Software Quality Professional, June 2006)"...an excellent source for [software engineering practitioners]...helping them to locate the standards pertinent to questions they face in real projects."
