The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. Let us understand what Software Engineering stands for. The term is made of two
words, software and engineering.
Software is more than just a program code. A program is an executable code,
which serves some computational purpose. Software is considered to be collection
of executable programming code, associated libraries and documentations.
Software, when made for a specific requirement is called software product.
Engineering on the other hand, is all about developing products, using well-
defined, scientific principles and methods.
Software engineering is an engineering branch associated with development of
software product using well-defined scientific principles, methods and procedures.
The outcome of software engineering is an efficient and reliable software product.

2. (1) The application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to
the development, operation, and maintenance of software; that is, the
application of engineering to software.
(2) The study of approaches as in the above statement.
Fritz Bauer, a German computer scientist, defines software engineering as:
“Software engineering is the establishment and use of sound engineering
principles in order to obtain economically software that is reliable and work
efficiently on real machines.”
Software Evolution
The process of developing a software product using software engineering
principles and methods is referred to as Software Evolution. This includes the
initial development of software and its maintenance and updates, till desired
software product is developed, which satisfies the expected requirements.
Evolution starts from the requirement gathering process. After which developers
create a prototype of the intended software and show it to the users to get their
feedback at the early stage of the software product development. The users
suggest changes, on which several consecutive updates and maintenance keep on
changing too. This process changes to the original software, till the desired
software is accomplished.
Even after the user has the desired software in hand, the advancing technology
and the changing requirements force the software product to change accordingly.
Re-creating software from scratch and to go one-on-one with the requirement is

not feasible. The only feasible and economical solution is to update the existing
software so that it matches the latest requirements.
Software Evolution Laws
Lehman has given laws for software evolution. He divided the software into three
different categories:
1. Static-type (S-type) - This is a software, which works strictly according
to defined specifications and solutions. The solution and the method to
achieve it, both are immediately understood before coding. The s-type
software is least subjected to changes hence this is the simplest of all. For
example, calculator program for mathematical computation.
2. Practical-type (P-type) - This is a software with a collection
of procedures.This is defined by exactly what procedures can do. In this
software, the specifications can be described but the solution is not
obviously instant. For example, gaming software.
3. Embedded-type (E-type) - This software works closely as the
requirement of real-world environment. This software has a high degree of
evolution as there are various changes in laws, taxes etc. in the real world
situations. For example, Online trading software.
E-Type software evolution
Lehman has given eight laws for E-Type software evolution -
1. Continuing change - An E-type software system must continue to adapt
to the real world changes, else it becomes progressively less useful.
2. Increasing complexity - As an E-type software system evolves, its
complexity tends to increase unless work is done to maintain or reduce it.
3. Conservation of familiarity - The familiarity with the software or the
knowledge about how it was developed, why was it developed in that
particular manner etc., must be retained at any cost, to implement the
changes in the system.
4. Continuing growth- In order for an E-type system intended to resolve
some business problem, its size of implementing the changes grows
according to the lifestyle changes of the business.

5. Reducing quality - An E-type software system declines in quality unless
rigorously maintained and adapted to a changing operational environment.
6. Feedback systems- The E-type software systems constitute multi-loop,
multi-level feedback systems and must be treated as such to be successfully
modified or improved.
7. Self-regulation - E-type system evolution processes are self-regulating
with the distribution of product and process measures close to normal.
8. Organizational stability - The average effective global activity rate in an
evolving E-type system is invariant over the lifetime of the product.
Software Paradigms
Software paradigms refer to the methods and steps, which are taken while
designing the software. There are many methods proposed and are implemented.
But, we need to see where in the software engineering concept, these paradigms
stand. These can be combined into various categories, though each of them is
contained in one another:
Programming paradigm is a subset of Software design paradigm which is further
a subset of Software development paradigm.
Software Development Paradigm
This paradigm is known as software engineering paradigms; where all the
engineering concepts pertaining to the development of software are applied. It
includes various researches and requirement gathering which helps the software
product to build. It consists of –

Need of Software Engineering
The need of software engineering arises because of higher rate of change in user
requirements and environment on which the software is working. Following are
some of the needs stated:
Large software - It is easier to build a wall than a house or building,
likewise, as the size of the software becomes large, engineering has to step
to give it a scientific process.
Scalability- If the software process were not based on scientific and
engineering concepts, it would be easier to re-create new software than to
scale an existing one.
Cost- As hardware industry has shown its skills and huge manufacturing
has lower down the price of computer and electronic hardware. But, cost of
the software remains high if proper process is not adapted.
Dynamic Nature- Always growing and adapting nature of the software
hugely depends upon the environment in which the user works. If the
nature of software is always changing, new enhancements need to be done
in the existing one. This is where the software engineering plays a good
role.
Quality Management- Better process of software development provides
better and quality software product.

Characteristics of good software
A software product can be judged by what it offers and how well it can be used.
This software must satisfy on the following grounds:
Operational
Transitional
Maintenance
Well-engineered and crafted software is expected to have the following
characteristics:
Operational
This tells us how well the software works in operations. It can be measured on:
Budget
Usability
Efficiency
Correctness
Functionality
Dependability
Security
Safety
Transitional
This aspect is important when the software is moved from one platform to
another:
Portability
Interoperability
Reusability
Adaptability
Maintenance
This aspect briefs about how well the software has the capabilities to maintain
itself in the ever-changing environment:
Modularity
Maintainability
Flexibility
Scalability
