Collected by Luis Fernández-Sanz and J. Javier Dolado-Cosín*
The discipline of Software Engineering is extremely broad,
so the following list of references should be considered as a
very limited selection of the vast wealth of available resources.
The criteria used to make up the list is based largely on the
personal teaching, researching, professional and authoring
experience of the compilers. References not included are not
necessarily less useful than the ones listed below: we have had
to choose from a large number of candidates.
We have decided against including specific journal and
conference papers due to the vast universe of publications. We
thought it preferable to refer interested readers to web sites
(several of which are included in our list) where you can find
large compilations of references on Software Engineering or
related areas.
And readers should not forget to follow up the various references
included in the papers published in this issue.
