Marin Science Seminar Presentation: “Applied Software Engineering for Large-Scale Complex Systems” An exploration of the software engineering discipline as applied in development of large-scale, global applications.  Specifically, the issues of managing inherent complexity and risk in large-scale systems using industry standard iterative development methods, modeling and design techniques, software architecture, performance engineering and testing will be explained using real-world examples.  This talk will highlight how software development has evolved from a relative “black art” to a true engineering discipline in recent decades.  This talk would be of interest to anyone who is curious about software development in general, and in particular how complex, large-scale systems are designed, tested and successfully deployed.
