Early experiences in measuring multimedia systems development effort
The development of multimedia information systems must be managed and controlled just as it is for other generic system types. This paper proposes an approach for assessing multimedia component and system characteristics ...
Software process engineering for measurement-driven software quality programs—realism and idealism
This paper brings together a set of commonsense recommendations relating to the delivery of software quality, with some emphasis on the adoption of realistic perspectives for software process/product stakeholders in the ...
Software development, CASE tools and 4GLs—A survey of New Zealand usage. Part 1: 750 New Zealand organisations
This paper reports the results of a recent national survey which considered the use of CASE tools and 4GLs in commercial software development. Responses from just over 750 organisations show a high degree of product ...
Fuzzy logic for software metric models throughout the development life-cycle
One problem faced by managers who are using project management models is the elicitation of numerical inputs. Obtaining these with any degree of confidence early in a project is not always feasible. Related to this difficulty ...
Applying soft systems methodology to multimedia systems requirements analysis
The Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) was used to identify requirements for the development of one or more information systems for a local company. The outcome of using this methodology was the development of three multimedia ...
FULSOME: Fuzzy logic for software metric practitioners and researchers
There has been increasing interest in recent times for using fuzzy logic techniques to represent software metric models, especially those predicting development effort. The use of fuzzy logic for this application area ...
Software forensics for discriminating between program authors using case-based reasoning, feed-forward neural networks and multiple discriminant analysis
Software forensics is a research field that, by treating pieces of program source code as linguistically and stylistically analyzable entities, attempts to investigate aspects of computer program authorship. This can be ...
Software metrics data analysis—Exploring the relative performance of some commonly used modeling techniques
Whilst some software measurement research has been unquestionably successful, other research has struggled to enable expected advances in project and process management. Contributing to this lack of advancement has been ...
Applications of fuzzy logic to software metric models for development effort estimation
Software metrics are measurements of the software development process and product that can be used as variables (both dependent and independent) in models for project management. The most common types of these models are ...
Establishing relationships between specification size and software process effort in CASE environments
Advances in software process technology have rendered many existing methods of size assessment and effort estimation inapplicable. The use of automation in the software process, however, provides an opportunity for the ...
