The remote distribution of contemporary activities has direct implications for the mobility of
humans and associated actions. Remote distribution inherently entails parameters such as the
mobility of individuals, artefacts, ...
Modularity is one of the key features of the Object-Oriented (OO) paradigm. Low coupling and high cohesion help to achieve good modularity. Inheritance is one of the core concepts of the OO paradigm which facilitates ...
In adopting a software process model, many small software companies are ignoring standard process models and models for process improvement. This study uses an empirical approach to investigate what processes software ...
Agile methods have emerged and become popular over last few years as a response to shortcomings of
the waterfall process model. However, agile processes are stamped by some as chaotic processes and
are placed in opposition ...
In this paper, I explain how globally-distributed software development subunits can coordinate their activities with information systems
(IS). The basis of this explanation lies in the contemporary proliferation of global ...
In recent years, open source software - more properly, free and open source software - has emerged as one popular solution to the so-called "software crisis". Advocates regard F/OSS as an agile, practice-led initiative ...
In today’s competitive and turbulent environment companies engaged in New Product Development (NPD) need tu have a sophisticated understanding of the types of knowledge critical to the each phase of the NPD process. These ...
This paper presents a study of the software development processes of very small software companies, with a focus on the company’s Software Process Improvement (SPI) activities. SPI has gained an increasing importance in ...
When some agents want to communicate through a media stream (for example voice or video), the Real Time Protocol (RTP) is used. This protocol does not provide encryption, so it is necessary to use Secure RTP (SRTP) to ...
