Abstract

The world of software has changed dramatically in the past decades. Today, software is pervasive in our daily life. Almost any technical item comprises a little computer with corresponding software. It’s not only used to control nuclear power plants, aircrafts, or the traffic of big cities. You can find it in any modern car, heart rate monitor watches, our beloved smart phones, and even toys. The internet with its social networks – all based on software – has become a kind of backbone of our culture. But this did not come over night.
