SOFTWARE STABILITY MODEL (SSM)
Software Stability Model (SSM) is a radically new and disruptive innovation in software engineering. It is a new way of looking at how any software development effort should be undertaken, different from the approaches that we see today. SSM moves on from the traditional methods of software development where a specific software artifact or every different typical application scenario to a process that promotes factoring in the needs for the future as well and thus making the software, therefore, developed a ‘Unified’ software model of the software/ system development and ‘stable’ over time, i.e.it need not be changed in a big way repeatedly. This book: 1. Extends four well-known CACM thinking (O=Object) Objective SSM columns, 2. Illustrates a new words classification that is suitable for Stability and Unification 3. Comments and explains responses, 4. Answers many questions. 5. Shows several applications of SSM.

Software Engineering in The Small.
Over the past many years, software has become a vital component of almost every business and national economy. Virtually any product or service has become software enabled. As a result, organizations’ competitiveness largely depends on their ability to use the software as a competitive weapon. What makes the competitive landscape more complex is the kind of pressures organizations face in terms of time to market, new features, cost, and, of course, quality and reliability. Furthermore, organizations are finding it increasingly challenging to operate as convergence, discontinuity, and economic boundarylessness lead to the birth of a new breed of global customers. And any organization’s survival—let alone success—is therefore clearly becoming dependent on an ability to understand the characteristics of such international customers and serve them accordingly. In their quest for software excellence, organizations must rely increasingly on software engineering techniques and methodologies and rely on and refine their traditional business strategies. This book: 1. Extends four well-known CACM thinking (O=Object) Objective Software Engineering in the Small columns: I. Software Engineering in the Small II. Problems with Scalability III. Management in the Small IV. Process Improvement in the Small 2. Discuss the September/October 2000, IEEE Software Introduction: Software Engineering in the Small theme Issue 3. Comments and explains responses, 4. Answers many questions.

Software Process Development
The software/system process is the fundamental way of abstracting and implementing software/system functional and non-functional requirements, design, architectures, and software testing. Software process describes the steps required to abstract and develop some goal, usually unified skills. Software Processes transform textbook theories and method descriptions into actual action steps. It is essential to realize that processes are codified steps that describe a particular organization's way of achieving development goals. That means development processes cannot be acquired off the shelf but must be developed over time. Management must support the move to process-based development. The software process must be maintained when schedule pressures loom, or process costs initially slow some development phases. Development Processes are essential for innovation development teams, even in a well-organized group. Individuals will often perceive themselves as less skilled than before, and the routines they have established with others will undoubtedly change. Management must ensure that setting process-oriented development will allow team members to contribute positively. This book: 1. Extends four well-known CACM thinking (O=Object) Objective Software Process Development columns: I. Software Development Processes: The Necessary Evil II. Process Assessment: Considered Wasteful III. Surviving a Process Performance Crash IV. The Art of Managing Multiple Processes 2. Comments and explains responses, 3. Answers many questions. 4. Illustrates Software Development Process in three ways: Textual, Dataflow Diagram, and Activity Diagram.

Stable Architecture Patterns (SArchPs) Unified Software Architecture on-Demand (USA on-Demand)
USA on-Demand proposes future trends in "Software Architectures that solve the mentioned challenges above and Look Seriously at "Unified Software Architecture on-Demand (F-USA on-Demand) ." The rapid growth of technology, coupled with the tightened development time and production cost constraints, have imposed tremendous pressure and an intense desire for software enterprises to create new and innovative designs which could respond to rapidly changing business and operating environments. Therefore, enterprises must invest in building stable architectures based on conceptual knowledge more than application context. Any system based on a stable architecture is built in a way that captures the enduring goals that the software is supposed to meet. We refer to these emerging trends of architectures as Architectures on Demand as they are unlimited reusable, adaptable, customizable, extensible, Customizability, self-configurable, self-manageable, and unlimited applicability, according to the future requirements and changes in the operating environments. Adaptability refers to how software system architecture can accommodate changes in its environment constrained by the hardware and software. Customizability refers to the ability of the architecture to be managed and customized by an agent, its users, benefiting applications, and others. Extensibility means that the architecture includes mechanisms for expanding/enhancing the system with new capabilities without making major changes to the architecture and the underlying infrastructure. Good architecture has excellent design principles and guidelines to ensure such architecture's excellency. Self-configurable and self-manageable architectures refer to the architectures of systems that can manage and "self-heal" their properties dynamically at the level of components, connectors, and the underlying infrastructure. The crosscutting concern for all these properties is that dependability should continue to be maintained and evolve the adaptation of the architectures on demand.

Stable Design Patterns (SDPs)(BASE)
Stable Design Patterns (SDPs) represent Business Objects (BOs) Concepts, provide a proper understanding of the problem (functional and non- functional requirements) and solution spaces (ultimate design), and show that a formation approach to creating stable design patterns (SDPs), and applicability accords with Alexander’s current understanding of architectural patterns. This book examines SDPs concerning the following five central themes: 1. What are the unique roles of SDPs for BOs in modeling proper understanding and developing the problem (functional and non-functional requirements) and the accurate solution (ultimate design) of BO? 2. How do we achieve software unification and stability over time and design SDPs that are effective to use? 3. What is the most efficient way to document SDPs to ensure efficient reusability? The book is an extension to the contemporary templates used in recording SDPs. 4. A pragmatic approach is presented for understanding the problem domains, utilizing SDPs for any field of knowledge, and modeling the stable and unified foundation of BOs, reusable components, and engines. 5. SDPs present a fresh approach for creating self-adaptable, self- customizable, easily extensible, personalize-able, self-configurable, and self-manageable design patterns that meet future requirements and changes in the operating environments.

Unified Business Rules Standard (UBRS)
The current business environment's ever-changing market dynamics, like evolving user needs, faults, intrusions, etc., require constant updates to system behavior and resource availability. These changes, however, should be performed without significantly affecting the application structure, thus allowing the system to effortlessly optimize and tune itself at runtime to handle/manage any issues. Business rules are an effective tool to provide flexibility and control for rapidly deploying changes across business operations. However, most organizations still need help to explicitly define or model business rules, primarily because they lack a global and widely acceptable set of standards. Furthermore, current business rule standards are not flexible and adaptable for defining rules that can apply to any other application except the ones they are designed for. Such problem dependencies in traditional standards make them challenging to evolve and, hence, significantly limit their use. The Unified Business Rule Standard (UBRS) eliminates these dependencies by focusing on the core knowledge of the domain. It effectively means the changes can be carried out to the problem-specific components without affecting the core functionality. In other words, updating the business logic can occur without recompiling the application code.

Unified Software Engineering Reuse (USER)
USER and systems built by using it answer the problems of low reuse, high costs, phasing out software solutions, components with significant impedance mismatch to be reused, and more. Research and development done for USER would enable the practitioners and researchers of software engineering to look at new ways of developing software that solves these problems, especially dealing with the issues associated with requirements and domain analysis in reuse. Unified Software Engineering Reuse (USER) would give rise to a new way of looking at software and building software solutions. USER can enable interdisciplinary research development in a big way and can bring different bodies of knowledge, and applications together, e.g., for biochemistry, bioinformatics, medicine, media, etc. USER enables building software systems that are self-adaptable and applicable for applications spanning multiple domains, unlike traditional software tools. It can be a catalyst for bringing scientists and students from varied fields to a common ground and building applications across these different bodies of knowledge. USER takes the field of software engineering to the next level. Software has become integral to everything our environment consists of today. The book presents a pragmatic and an intuitive approach to understanding the problem of existing reuse and utilizing USER as the central perspective of experience and business-centric intuition (stable reuse techniques and assets).
