Within the body of literature, much emphasis has been placed on the use of process models to support software development [1, 2, 3]. Despite this, there is significant variation in the software processes used by software ...
Aspect composition is still a hot research topic where there is no consensus on how to express where and when aspects have to be composed into a base system. In this paper we present a modular construct for aspects, called ...
This paper presents the results of a Grounded Theory study of how
software process and software process improvement (SPI) is applied in the
practice of software development. This study described in this paper focused ...
Social interactions among a group of friends will typically
have a certain recurring rhythm. Most people interact with
their own circle of friends at a range of different rates, and
through a range of different modalities ...
Kiniry, Joseph R.; Cochran, Dermot; Tierney, Patrick E.(Association for Computing Machinery, 2007)
Activist computer scientists, including some of the authors
of this paper, have been working against the adoption
by governments of commercial, proprietary, insecure,
poorly designed and implemented voting systems

The conceptual modelling of software architectures is of central importance
for the quality of a software system. A rich modelling language is required to
integrate the different aspects of architecture modelling, such ...
Mobile privacy concerns are central to Ubicomp and yet
remain poorly understood. We advocate a diversified
approach, enabling the cross-interpretation of data from
complementary methods. However, mobility imposes a
number ...
Ambient intelligence involves synthesising data from a range of sources in order to exhibit meaningful adaptive behaviour without explicit user direction, driven by inputs from largely independent devices and data sources. ...
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 ...
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 ...
