  • Commercial adoption of open source software: an empirical study
    Glynn, Eugene; Fitzgerald, Brian; Exton, Chris (IEEE Computer Society, 2005)
    There has been a dramatic increase in commercial interest in the potential of Open Source Software (OSS) over the past few years. However, given the many complex and novel issues that surround the use of OSS, the process ...
  • A comparative study of architecture knowledge management tools
    Tang, Antony; Avgeriou, Paris; Jansen, Anton; Capilla, Rafael; Ali Babar, Muhammad (Elsevier, 2009)
    Recent research suggests that architectural knowledge, such as design decisions, is important and should be recorded alongside the architecture description. Different approaches have emerged to support such architectural ...
  • A comparative study of challenges in integrating open source software and inner source software
    Stol, Klaas-Jan; Ali Babar, Muhammad; Avgeriou, Paris; Fitzgerald, Brian (Elsevier, 2011)
    Context: Several large software-developing organizations have adopted Open Source Software development (OSSD) practices to develop in-house components that are subsequently integrated into products. This phenomenon is ...
  • A comparative survey of economic models for software product lines
    Ali, Muhammad Sarmad; Ali Babar, Muhammad; Schmid, Klaus (IEEE Computer Society, 2009)
    Software product line engineering aims at achieving systematic reuse by exploiting commonalities among related products in order to reduce cost and time-tomarket. Before adopting this approach, organizations are likely ...
  • A comparison framework for open source software evaluation methods
    Stol, Klaas-Jan; Ali Babar, Muhammad (Springer-Verlag, 2010)
    The use of Open Source Software (OSS) components has become a viable alternative to Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components in product development. Since the quality of OSS products varies widely, both industry and the ...
  • Comparison of scenario-based software architecture evaluation methods
    Ali Babar, Muhammad; Gorton, Ian (IEEE Computer Society, 2004)
    Software engineering community has proposed several methods to evaluate software architectures with respect to desired quality attributes such as maintainability, performance, and so on. There is, however, little effort ...
  • A complexity reliability model.
    Schneidewind, Norman; Hinchey, Mike (IEEE Computer Society, 2009)
    A model of software complexity and reliability is developed. It uses an evolutionary process to transition from one software system to the next, while complexity metrics are used to predict the reliability for each system. ...
  • Component-oriented behavior extraction for autonomic system design
    Bakera, Marco; Wagner, Christian; Margaria, Tiziana; Vassev, Emil; Hinchey, Mike; Steffen, Bernhard (NASA, 2009)
    Rich and multifaceted domain specific specification languages like the Autonomic System Specification Language (ASSL) help to design reliable systems with self-healing capabilities. The GEAR game-based Model Checker has ...
  • Conducting field studies in software engineering: an experience report
    Yates, Rebecca (Psychology of Programme Interest Group (PPIG), 2012)
    Involving practitioners in software engineering research is crucial for relevant, applicable results, but finding willing participants can be difficult. This experience report describes some of the issues that can block ...
  • Configuration management process improvement for the medical device industry
    Mc Caffery, Fergal; Coleman, Gerry (2006)
    This paper outlines how the goals, practices and capability levels for the configuration management (CM) process area within a software process improvement (SPI) framework have been developed. This framework addresses an ...
  • Configuration of multi product lines by bridging heterogeneous variability modeling approaches
    Dhungana, Deepak; Seichter, Dominik; Botterweck, Goetz; Rabiser, Rick; Grunbacher, Paul; Galindo, Jose A. (IEEE Computer Society, 2011)
    In industrial settings, products are rarely built by one organization alone. Software vendors and suppliers typically maintain their own product lines, which can contribute to a larger (multi) product line. The teams ...
  • Constructing common information spaces in global software development
    Bannon, Liam; Avram, Gabriela (2006)
    This paper examines some of the issues involved in the coordination of geographically distributed software development teams. In recent years, the phenomenon of global software development (GSD) has become widespread, for ...
  • A consumer/producer approach to risk-driven software reliability and testing
    Schneidewind, Norman; Hinchey, Mike (Association for Computing Machinery, 2009)
    1. Introduction: We introduce the concept of using both consumer software and producer software in the analysis of risk as it relates to test criteria and strategies. There are two different versions of the software, ...
  • A context-aware analysis scheme for Bloom’s taxonomy
    Kelly, Tara; Buckley, Jim (IEEE Computer Society, 2006)
    A large body of empirical work in the software comprehension area has focused on the cognitive processes that programmers undertake. However, as yet, little work exists on developing and assessing an encompassing framework ...
  • ContraVision : presenting contrasting visions of future technology
    Price, Blaine A.; Mancini, Clara; Rogers, Yvonne; Bandara, Arosha K.; Coe, Tony; Joinson, Adam N.; Lay, Jeffrey; Nuseibeh, Bashar (Association for Computing Machinery, 2010)
