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 ...
Up to now, most open source software (OSS) deployments have been in invisible infrastructure applications running on back-office servers (GNU/Linux, Apache, and so on). Beaumont Hospital in Ireland recently started developing ...
This paper presents a novel simulated model for a wireless data acquisition system. The system will read analogue information provided by two sensors and can be used for medical purposes. Real data has been obtained and a ...

The focus of this paper is to outline the experience of a European based software organization utilizing the IDEAL model, while implementing a tailored Capability Maturity Model (CMM) software process improvement program. ...
Agent-oriented Conceptual Modelling (AoCM, as exemplified by the i* notation [5], represents an interesting approach to modelling early phase requirements that is particularly effective in capturing organizational contexts, ...
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 ...
With so many software-related failures happening these days, there is an increasing demand for software quality. Rigorous development approaches, which apply mathematical techniques to the design and implementation, should ...
This paper introduces Collaborative Reinforcement Learning (CRL), a coordination model for solving system-wide optimisation problems in distributed systems where there is no support for global state. In CRL the autonomic ...
