Kurt Schneider is a full professor of Software Engineering at Leibniz Universität Hannover since 2003. His main research interests are requirements engineering, software quality, and service-oriented architectures. Life-long learning and cognitive optimization of techniques and tools are investigated in all those areas. From 1996 until 2003, he was a researcher and a project leader at the DaimlerChrysler Research Centre in Ulm, Germany. In particular, Kurt Schneider was leader of the Software Experience Center (SEC) project for DaimlerChrysler. From 1994 to1996 he was a visiting member of the interdisciplinary Center for LifeLong Learning and Design at the University of Colorado in Boulder, CO, USA.

From the reviews: "This well-written graduate-level textbook is an excellent introduction to the systematic ways to achieve this goal, and will interest software engineers, managers, and students. ... Definitions are clearly stated and the overall look and feel is reader friendly. ... The entire approach is systematic and easy to follow. Solutions to the problems are included at the end of the book, for self-study readers. ... While the textbook does achieve its goals ... . I recommended this superior book." (Brad Reid, ACM Computing Reviews, December, 2009)
