This open-access book offers a comprehensive overview of the dissertations of the eleven nominees for the Ernst Denert Award for Software Engineering in 2020. Sponsored by the Gerlind & Ernst Denert Stiftung, the prize recognizes outstanding contributions to the field of software engineering, encompassing methodologies, tools, and procedures for enhancing the development of high-quality software. A crucial criterion for the nominated work is its practical applicability and usability in industrial settings.

The book comprises eleven papers that present the research conducted by Jonathan Brachthäuser (EPFL Lausanne), Mojdeh Golaghas (Fortiss, Munich), Nikolay Harutyunyans (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg), Dominic Henzes (TU Munich), Anne Hesss (Fraunhofer IESE, Kaiserslautern), Istvan Korens (RWTH Aachen U), Yannic Nollers (NU Singapore), Dominic Steinhofels (TU Darmstadt), Peter Wägemanns (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg), Michael von Wencksterns (RWTH Aachen U), and Franz Zieriss (FU Berlin).

Jonathan Brachthäuser's dissertation, titled "What You See Is What You Get: Practical Effect Handlers in Capability-Passing Style," explores the use of practical effect handlers in capability-passing style programming languages. Mojdeh Golaghas' thesis, "How to Effectively Reduce Failure Analysis Time?" investigates strategies for reducing failure analysis time in software development. Nikolay Harutyunyans' work, "Open Source Software Governance," examines the governance of open-source software projects. Dominic Henzes' research, "Dynamically Scalable Fog Architectures," explores the design and implementation of scalable fog computing systems. Anne Hesss' work, "Crossing Disciplinary Borders to Improve Requirements Communication," explores the intersection of software engineering and other disciplines to enhance requirements communication.

Istvan Korens' thesis, "DevOpsUse: A Community-Oriented Methodology for Societal Software Engineering," proposes a community-oriented methodology for societal software engineering. Yannic Nollers' work, "Hybrid Differential Software Testing," investigates hybrid differential software testing techniques. Dominic Steinhofels' thesis, "Ever Change a Running System: Structured Software Reengineering Using Automatically Proven-Correct Transformation Rules," explores structured software reengineering using automatically proven-correct transformation rules. Peter Wägemanns' work, "Static Worst-Case Analyses and Their Validation Techniques for Safety-Critical Systems," explores static worst-case analysis techniques for safety-critical systems. Michael von Wencksterns' research, "Improving the Model-Based Systems Engineering Process," aims to improve the model-based systems engineering process. Franz Zieriss' thesis, "Understanding How Pair Programming Actually Works in Practice," explores the effectiveness of pair programming in software development.

Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the latest research and advancements in software engineering, highlighting the contributions of these eleven nominees to the field.
