Concurrent System Design: Applied Mathematics & Modeling in Software Engineering Education Michael J. Lutz, James R. Vallino Rochester Institute of TechnologyIntroductionA hallmark of engineering design is the use of models to explore the consequences of designdecisions. Sometimes these models are physical prototypes or informal drawings, but the sinequa non of contemporary practice is the use of formal, mathematical models of system structureand behavior.

Why is the problem a problem?Developing software for cell phones – and by implication, mobile devices in general – requiresskills and knowledge that differ from “traditional” development for personal computers,workstations, and mainframes. In many regards, the personal computer in its infancy was aharbinger of today’s cell phone: those developing software for early personal computers foundthemselves trading the amenities of working in a relatively cloistered and protected mainframeenvironment for the stark world of hardware and software at the lowest and most primitive levelsof detail.
