Studying a software process improvement effort over time reveals the factors associated with its success. This case study shows how Motorola's Cellular Infrastructure Group progressed to CMM level 4, and examines what is ...
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 ...
Through a number of "participative learning" exercises, it
may be demonstrated that the human brain can be very
predictable in its modus operandii. This is an excellent
attribute when considered as a conditioned response ...
Systems development issues occupy a position of central importance in the information systems field and, indeed, much has been prescribed in the quest for successful systems development. However, given the well-documented ...
Comprehensive distributed garbage collection in object-oriented distributed systems has mostly been addressed via distributed versions of graph-tracing algorithms, a legacy of centralised garbage collection techniques. Two ...

Thermal niches although widespread are not uniform as they vary in pH, salinity, temperature and degree of oxygen. This has allowed the evolution of microorganisms with different tolerences and adaptive traits. Many of ...
peer-reviewed applications that cross the boundaries of different computing machines, operating systems, and programming languages are increasingly the norm. As a result, the need for what might be called “bridging ...
