Educating software engineers of the future: software quality through problem-based learning.

Richardson, Ita; Reid, Louise; Seidman, Stephen B; Pattinson, Bob; Delaney, Yvonne (IEEE Computer Society, 2011)

Software Engineering graduates are expected to enter the workforce with both technical and soft skills. In addition, software quality is a topic that is becoming increasingly important both because of educational and ...
Efficient reasoning with ambient trees for space exploration

Vassev, Emil; Hinchey, Mike (Springer, 2012)

Modern reasoning is based on inference techniques such as induction, deduction, abduction, subsumption, classification and recognition. These inference techniques are very inefficient when applied to large amounts of ...
Efficient space exploration through laziness

Vassev, Emil; Hinchey, Mike (Springer, 2012)

Autonomous behavior and onboard decision making is the backbone of robotic space exploration. The enormous distance and communication latency make such missions hardly controllable from Earth and external decision making ...
An empirical investigation into the adoption of systems development methodologies

Fitzgerald, Brian (Elsevier Science, 1998)

A postal survey was conducted to determine the following: the extent to which systems development methodologies are used in practice; the rating of their contribution to the development process; and the future trend in ...
Empirically refining a model of programmers’ information-seeking behavior during software maintenance

Buckley, Jim; O'Brien, Michael P.; Power, Norah (2006)

Several authors have proposed information seeking as an appropriate perspective for studying software maintenance activities. However, there is little research in the literature describing holistic information-seeking ...
Empirically studying software practitioners – bridging the gap between theory and practice

O'Brien, Michael P.; Buckley, Jim; Exton, Chris (IEEE Computer Society, 2005)

It is the view of many computer scientists that the standard of empirical software engineering research leaves scope for improvement. However, there is also an increasing awareness in the software engineering community ...
An empirical study of the use of friends in C++ software

English, Michael; Buckley, Jim; Cahill, Tony (IEEE Computer Society, 2005)

A commonly held belief is that the friend construct in C++ is a violation of encapsulation. However, little empirical analysis of its use has taken place to provide evidence to support this claim. This paper presents a ...
Enabling open innovation through agile development

Power, Ken; Morgan, Lorraine; Conboy, Kieran (XP2010, 2010)

In much the same way that XP and agile development radically changed the software development landscape, Open Innovation is transforming how organizations manage their innovation processes. In a traditional ‘closed innovation’ ...
Energy efficiency with runtime models for energy-aware embedded systems.

Karakehayov, Z.; Vassev, Emil (IEEE Computer Society, 2011)

Reducing power consumption is an important design objective in energy-constrained embedded and mobile systems. Such systems must be designed to meet functional and often timing requirements facing the challenge of energy ...
Engineering the Irish software tiger

Ryan, Kevin (IEEE Computer Society, 2008)

Information and communication technologies, particularly software, play a crucial role in the Republic of Ireland's remarkable economic growth. Successful globalization has posed many challenges and fostered a major strategic ...
Enhancing the role of the interfaces in software architecture description languages (ADLs)

Galvin, Seamus; Collins, J.J.; Exton, Chris; McGurren, Finbar (Springer, 2004)

One of the key reasons why ADLs are yet to be adopted commercially on a large scale is due to shortcomings in their ability to describe adequate interface specifications. An interface specification that is vague, lacking ...
Entrepreneurship education: towards an industry sector approach

Hynes, Briga; Richardson, Ita (Emerald, 2007)

This paper considers the requirements for an industry sector approach to entrepreneurship education – The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Sector. We present a modified Process Framework for Entrepreneurship ...
ESCAPE meta modeling in software engineering:when premature commitment is useful in representations

Buckley, Jim; Exton, Chris; Quigley, Aaron; LeGear, Andrew (2007)

This paper introduces, and provides a cognitive basis for, a prototype meta-modeling process called ESCAPE. This process involves users explicitly stating their own model of an entity of interest, CAPturing an alternative ...
Evaluating the usefulness and ease of use of a groupware tool for the software architecture evaluation process

Ali Babar, Muhammad; Winkler, Dietmar; Biffl, Stefan (IEEE Computer Society, 2007)

We have developed a framework for groupware tool support for the software architecture evaluation process in the context of global software development. We have empirically assessed the effectiveness of the groupwares ...
EvoFM: feature-driven planning of product-line evolution

Botterweck, Goetz; Pleuss, Andreas; Dhungana, Deepak; Polzer, Andreas; Kowalewski, Stefan (Association for Computing Machinery, 2010)

Companies successfully applying product line approaches often follow a long-term strategy and need to plan product portfolios years ahead. For instance in the automotive industry, managers constantly make decisions about ...
Evolving critical systems: a research agenda for computer-based systems.

Hinchey, Mike; Coyle, Lorcan (IEEE Computer Society, 2010)

Increasingly software can be considered to be critical,due to the business or other functionality which it supports. Upgrades or changes to such software are expensive and risky, primarily because the software has not ...
An examination of the use of Open Source Software Processes as a global software development solution for commercial software engineering

Gaughan, Gary; Fitzgerald, Brian; Shaikh, Maha (IEEE Computer Society, 2009)

This paper outlines the phenomenon of Inner Source software development and places it in the context of existing open source literature. Our study includes an analysis of multiple case studies of Inner Source in use in ...
Expanding technological frames towards mediated collaboration : groupware adoption in virtual learning teams

Fitzgerald, Brian; Bjorn, Pernille (Scandinavian Journal of Information Systems, 2006)

This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the technological and social factors that led to the successful adoption of groupware by a virtual team in a educational setting. Drawing on a theoretical framework based on ...
Expectations between parties playing similar roles in global software development: a psychological contract perspective.

Lane, Michael; Agerfalk, Par J. (2007)

Global software development (GSD), as a mode of information systems development, surfaces various challenges and benefits that are not always present in co-located teams. A psychological contract reflects the written and ...
An experience of applying architecture-based approach to build a component-based requirements management toolset

Ali Babar, Muhammad (IEEE Computer Society, 2004)

It has been advocated and shown that software architecture can be an effective tool to reduce development cost and increase the quality of the end product [1]. Rigorous efforts invested in architectural design and evaluation ...
