Challenges and Improvements

Data structure and software engineering is an integral part of computer science, which, as a

whole, is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and of practical

techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems.

This new book presents new approaches and methods to knowledge sharing, brain mapping, data

integration, data storage, managing an organization's business process and domain data, new

software and hardware testing methods, and a game development framework used as a learning

aid in a software engineering at the university level. The book also features a review of social

software engineering metrics, methods for processing business information, and using Pegasys

to create and manage sequence analysis workflows in biology.
