SE applications embody social and economic value, by making people more productive, improving their quality of life, and enabling them to do things that would otherwise be impossible. SE applications include ATMs, compilers, databases, email, embedded systems, graphics, office suites, operating systems, robotics, video games, world wide web, and more. SE technologies and practices help developers to create and maintain applications, by improving productivity and quality. SE technologies and practices include languages, databases, tools, platforms, libraries, standards, patterns, processes, and more. The community of software engineers includes about 611,900 practitioners and 16,495 educators in the U.S. and 1,400,000(?) practitioners in the E.U., Asia, and elsewhere (in the year 2002). About half of all practitioners have computer science degrees. Barry Boehm, Fred Brooks, David Parnas and many other pioneers made important contributions to SE. -- Diego Saravia [email protected]
