Annotation: This tutorial presents a collection of research papers on themes discussed at the Lipari Summer School on Advances in Software Engineering, held on Lipari Island, Italy, in July 2007. It was the 19th in a well-known series of annual international schools, addressed at computer science researchers. The courses dealt with domain and requirements engineering, high-level modelling, software product line techniques, evolvable software, the evolution of service-oriented software architectures, Web services, and security in such evolving distributed systems.

The nine revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected by 21 reviewers. The papers are organized in topical sections on foundations and methodology, service oriented architecture and web services, software technology, and security. This book is written with the intent to produce a state-of-the-art compendium of recent advances in software engineering.

Thethemesofthecourses, offourone-hourlectureseach, rangedfromdomain andrequirementsengineering(DinesBjoerner, TechnicalUniversityofDenmark, and Florin Spanachi, SAP Research, Germany) over high-level modeling (Egon B] orger, University of Pisa, Italy) and software product line techniques (Don Batory, UniversityofTexasatAustin, USA)toevolvablesoftware(PeterSestoft, Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University of Denmark) and the evolution of service-oriented software architectures (Carlo Ghezzi, Politecnico di Milano, Italy) in particular for Web services (Boualem Benatallah, University of New SouthWales, Australia)andthecrucialproblemofhowtoreachsecurity insuch evolvingdistributedsystems(DieterGollmann, TechnicalUniversityHamburg- Harburg, Germany). In two seminars the theme of evolvable software was further developed by the presentationofnew techniques forsoftwaremanipulation with annotations in Java (Vincenzo Gervasi, University of Pisa) and for the code-bricks-based runtime composition of self-evolving programs (Antonio Cisternino, University ofPisa). For unforseeablepersonalcircumstances MichaelJackson(London)was - abletodeliverhislecturesasplanned.However, thisvolumecontainshisre?- tions on which directions software engineering should take to become a truly engineeringdiscipline. This book is not a proceedings volume, but a collection of research papers on themes treated in the school, written with the intent to produce a state-- the art compendium of recent advances in software engineering. However, the contributions re?ect the extensive discussions we had during the two weeks in Lipari. Allcontributions, writtenbetweenAugust2007andJanuary2008, havebeen reviewed, revisedandreviewedagainduringtheperiodFebruary-August2008.
