Software Technology

Software Technology is about designing software for technical systems. Examples range from software for small real-time embedded systems like heartbeat monitoring in watches, to large complex control systems as those being used in the New Waterway Storm Surge Barrier, the final element of the Delta Project. Software Technology engineers design communication protocols by which computers communicate, adapt complex algorithms to work on parallel or distributed systems, or develop logistic algorithms for practical planning problems. But the field of Software Technology is certainly not limited to these examples: the field that investigates how complex software systems should be specified, designed, implemented, verified, tested, maintained, and restructured, reengineered, which belongs to the domain of software engineering, as well as the design and construction of fault tolerant and reliable embedded software.
