In this book, you will find discussions on the newest native XML databases, along with information on working with XML-enabled relational database systems. In addition, XML Data Management thoroughly examines benchmarks and analysis techniques for performance of XML databases. This book is best used by students that are knowledgeable in database technology and are familiar with XML.

This volume presents two regular revised papers, a guest editors' introduction, and six papers in a special section that have been through a careful peer reviewing process by the journal's Editorial Board. Besides a wide range of topics from software design to implementation of aspect-oriented languages, the six papers of the special section concentrate on AOP systems, software and middleware.

Broadly-scoped requirements such as security, privacy, and response time are a major source of complexity in modern software systems. This is due to their tangled inter-relationships with and effects on other requirements. Aspect-Oriented Requirements Engineering (AORE) aims to facilitate modularisation of such broadly-scoped requirements, so that software developers are able to reason about them in isolation - one at a time. AORE also captures these inter-relationships and effects in well-defined composition specifications, and, in so doing exposes the causes for potential conflicts, trade-offs, and roots for the key early architectural decisions. Over the last decade, significant work has been carried out in the field of AORE. With this book the editors aim to provide a consolidated overview of these efforts and results. The individual contributions discuss how aspects can be identified, represented, composed and reasoned about, as well as how they are used in specific domains and in industry. Thus, the book does not present one particular AORE approach, but conveys a broad understanding of the aspect-oriented perspective on requirements engineering. The chapters are organized into five sections: concern identification in requirements, concern modelling and composition, domain-specific use of AORE, aspect interactions, and AORE in industry. This book provides readers with the most comprehensive coverage of AORE and the capabilities it offers to those grappling with the complexity arising from broadly-scoped requirements - a phenomenon that is, without doubt, universal across software systems. Software engineers and related professionals in industry, as well as advanced undergraduate and post-graduate students and researchers, will benefit from these comprehensive descriptions and the industrial case studies.

Aspect-Oriented Requirements Engineering

The LNCS Journal Transactions on Aspect-Oriented Software Development is devoted to all facets of aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) techniques in the context of all phases of the software life cycle, from requirements and design to implementation, maintenance and evolution. The papers, which focus on mapping of early aspects across the software lifecycle, and aspects and software evolution, have passed through a careful peer reviewing process.

Focus: Early Aspects and Aspects of Software Evolution

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Engineering Secure Software and Systems, ESSoS 2018, held in Paris, France, in June 2018. The 10 papers, consisting of 7 regular and 3 idea papers, were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions. They focus on the construction of secure software, which is becoming an increasingly challenging task due to the complexity of modern applications, the growing sophistication of security requirements, the multitude of available software technologies, and the progress of attack vectors.
