Software　engineering　is　the　science　and　art　of　specifying,　designing,　implementing,　and(66)with　economy,　timeliness　and　elegance,　programs,(67)and　operating　procedures　whereby　computers　　can　be　made　useful　to　humanity.

This　definition　implicitly　sets(68)the　basic　goal　of　software　engineering　research　and　development:　　The　basic　goal　of　software　engineering　is　to　facilitate　specification,　design,　implementation　and　evolution　　of　programs,　documentation　and　operating(69)which　are　useful　to　humanity　in　an　economic,(70)and　elegant　manner(using　the　appropriate　science　and　art).
