Abstract :
Theoretical approaches to various subdisciplines within software engineering have helped to make the practical application of software engineering more effective. This paper poses the question of whether a general theory of software engineering can and should be sought. The challenge is to assist practicing software engineers by investigating the theoretical bases of discipline. The panelists use their experience and expertise to address areas within software engineering which can benefit from theoretical approaches
