This generalised version was produced through ESA’s Technology Transfer Programme. The authors are: Carlo Mazza, Jon Fairclough, Bryan Melton, Daniel de Pablo, Adriaan Scheffer, Richard Stevens. Publisher : Prentice-Hall International (UK) Ltd. First published 1994 ISBN 0-13-106568-8
  • "Software Engineering Guides" contains the Software Engineering Guides (PSS-05-01 to PSS-05-11) of the European Space Agency (ESA), modified to remove ESA-specific terminology.
