Requirements engineering for service and cloud computing
Ramachandran M., Mahmood Z., Springer International Publishing, New York, NY, 2017. 320 pp. Type: Book (978-3-319513-09-6)
Date Reviewed: Nov 1 2017

This is an edited collection of papers, authored by experts from academia and industry, on the progress and update of requirements handling specific to the subfields of cloud computing and service. Due to the fact that cloud computing and services are two rather recent concepts attracting a vast volume of research efforts within the wider context of software engineering, this collection specially focuses on the requirements engineering for these two concepts.

The scope of the book is very finely tuned and the papers are selected in a complementary sense. The book is organized in three parts, where Parts 1 and 2 cover papers on requirement elicitation and specification for services and cloud computing, while Part 3 collects papers on validation, evaluation, and the quality of services for the selected subjects.

I found the themes of the papers to be very up to date and complementary to building a complete sense of the chosen field; the problems tackled and the solutions recommended are expressed well. The content is well balanced between technical and introductory papers, which cover very technical aspects as well as details of the theory and good practical knowledge. This makes the book very useful for newer researchers, who step into the field and require wider awareness of the context. Another benefit is the extensive list of references, which enables researchers from a much wider horizon of studies to learn about the topics.

I would have loved to see an introductory overview section at the beginning of the book, prior to presenting the papers, which would benefit young researchers who are in need of foundations to understand the details of the included papers. Apart from this shortcoming, I would recommend the book to academics, researchers, and professionals.
