  • A multi-case study analysis of software process improvement in very small companies using ISO/IEC 29110 
    Laporte, Claude Y.; O'Connor, Rory V. (Springer, 2016)
    The ISO/IEC 29110 Lifecycle profiles for Very Small Entities is a relatively new standard aimed at addressing the particular development needs of very small companies. Due to its relative youth in the standards domain ...
  • Multi-grounded action research in method engineering: the MMC case 
    Karlsson, Fredrik; Agerfalk, Par J. (2007)
    There appears to be two schools of information systems development methods research that largely pursue their own agendas without many cross-references, On the one hand there is the method engineering research and on ...
  • A multi-layer approach for customizing business services 
    Taher, Yehia; Haque, Rafiqul; Parkin, Michael; Richardson, Ita; Whelan, Eoin; Van den Heuvel, Willem-Jan (Springer-Verlag, 2011)
    The reusability of services is a cornerstone of the Service-Oriented Architecture design paradigm as it leads to a reduction in the costs associated with software development, integration and maintenance. However, reusability ...
  • Multi-metaphor method: organizational metaphors in information systems development. 
    Oates, Briony June; Fitzgerald, Brian (Blackwell Publishing Limited, 2007)
    Conventional methods have been criticized for their positivist philosophy and for either ignoring the organizational context of information systems development (ISD) or using only a simplistic, machine-based conceptual ...
  • Multi-policy optimization in decentralized autonomic systems 
    Dusparic, Ivana; Cahill, Vinny (IFAAMAS, 2009)
    This paper addresses the challenge of multi-policy optimization in decentralized autonomic systems. We evaluate several multi-policy reinforcement learning-based optimization techniques in an urban tra c control simulation, ...
  • Multilayer superimposed information for collaborative annotation in wikis 
    Solis, Carlos; Canos, Jose H.; Borges, Marcos R.S. (Springer-Verlag, 2010)
    Collaborative writing and editing typically use annotations to coordinate edition tasks, comment the content, add relevant references, or clarify confusing content. Despite that wikis are among the most widely used hypertext ...
  • MUSer2: an efficient MUS extractor, system description 
    Belov, Anton; Marques-Silva, Joao (IOS Press, 2012)
    Algorithms for extraction of Minimally Unsatisfiable Subformulas (MUSes) of CNF formulas find a wide range of practical applications, including product configuration, knowledge-based validation, hardware and software ...
  • Mutual dynamic adaptation of models and service enactment in ALIVE 
    Staikopoulos, Athanasios; Saudrais, Sebastien; Clarke, Siobhán; Padget, Julian; Cliffe, Owen; DeVos, Marina (2008)
    In complex service-oriented systems, a number of layers of abstraction may be considered, in particular the models of the organisations involved, how interactions are coordinated and the services which are used and made ...
  • The mysteries of open source software: black and white and red all over*? 
    Fitzgerald, Brian; Agerfalk, Par J. (IEEE Computer Society, 2005)
    Open Source Software (OSS) has attracted enormous media and research attention since the term was coined in February 1998. The concept itself is founded on the paradoxical premise that software source code—the ‘crown ...
  • The need for a software process improvement model for the medical device industry 
    Mc Caffery, Fergal; Coleman, Gerry (Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l., 2007)
    Software is becoming an increasingly important aspect of medical devices and medical device regulation. Software enables highly complex systems to be built. However, complexity is the enemy of safety, therefore strict ...
  • Negotiation towards service level agreements: a life cycle based approach 
    Hashmi, Sajid Ibrahim; Haque, Rafiqul; Schmieders, Eric; Richardson, Ita (IEEE Computer Society, 2011)
    Service Based Systems (SBSs) are composed of loosely coupled services. Different stakeholders in these systems, e.g. service providers, service consumers, and business decision makers, have different types of concerns which ...
  • The network and video latencies in marine remote-controlled applications 
    Kaknjo, Admir (University of Limerick, 2021)
    This thesis provides an overview of research work in the domains of marine sensing and underwater robotics. The main aim of the study is to investigate the challenges and requirements that are imposed on a communication ...
  • New and improved models for SAT-based bi-decomposition 
    Chen, Huan; Marques-Silva, Joao (Association for Computing Machinery, 2012)
    Boolean function bi-decomposition is pervasive in logic synthesis. Bi-decomposition entails the decomposition of a Boolean function into two other simpler functions connected by a simple two-input gate. Existing solutions ...
  • New branches, old roots: a study of methods and techniques in web/ hypermedia systems design. 
    Lang, Michael; Fitzgerald, Brian (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2006)
    Despite claims in the literature that "traditional" methods and techniques are inadequate and poorly matched to the demands of the Web design context, the findings from a field survey of Web/hypermedia systems designers ...
  • A new heuristic for SOA problem based on effective tie break function 
    Shokry, Hesham; El-Boghdadi, Hatem M.; Shaheen, Samir I. (Association for Computing Machinery, 2008)
    Producing efficient and compact code for embedded DSP processors is very important for nowadays faster and smaller size devices. Because such processors have highly irregular data-path, conventional code generation techniques ...
  • Next road rerouting: a multiagent system for mitigating unexpected urban traffic congestion 
    Wang, Shen; Djahel, Soufiene; Zhang, Zonghua; McManis, Jennifer (IEEE Computer Society, 2016)
    During peak hours in urban areas, unpredictable traffic congestion caused by en route events (e.g., vehicle crashes) increases drivers’ travel time and, more seriously, decreases their travel time reliability. In this ...
  • No reference objective quality metric for stereoscopic 3D video 
    Han, Yi; Yuan, Zhenhui; Muntean, Gabriel-Miro (IEEE Compuer Society, 2014)
    The stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) video technologies have achieved significant success in providing enhanced immersive experience to consumers. However network delivery of 3D video content at good quality levels is ...
  • Northern Ireland Software Industry Survey 
    Mc Caffery, Fergal; Wilkie, F.G.; McFall, Donald (2004)
