Data Structure and Software Engineering Challenges and Improvements

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters.

Data structure and software engineering is an integral part of computer science. This volume presents new approaches and methods to knowledge sharing, brain mapping, data integration, and data storage. The author describes how to manage an organization?s business process and domain data and presents new software and hardware testing methods. The book introduces a game development framework used as a learning aid in a software engineering at the university level. It also features a review of social software engineering metrics and methods for processing business information. It explains how to use Pegasys to create and manage sequence analysis workflows.
