    Wiredu, Gamel O. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2010)
    One of the dominant characteristics of contemporary software development is the global distribution of tasks, of developers, of information and of technologies. Undoubtedly, such distribution engenders new coordination ...
  • Understanding the influential factors to development effort in Chinese software industry 
    He, Mei; Zhang, He; Yang, Ye; Wang, Qing; Li, Mingshu (Springer-Verlag, 2010)
    A good understanding of the influential factors to software development effort and further precise effort estimate are undoubtedly crucial to any cost-effective and controllable software development projects. In most effort ...
  • Understanding the software product line derivation process: an industrial example 
    de Souza, Leandro Oliveira; O'Leary, Pádraig; de Almeida, Eduardo Santana; de Lemos Meira, Silvio Romero (EuroSPI, 2013)
    Software Product Line Engineering has emerged as a software engineering strategy aimed at helping industry achieve business goals. Nevertheless, in order to ensure the return of invest-ment with the Software Product Line ...
  • Understanding the value of business process configuration 
    Carroll, Noel; Whelan, Eoin; Richardson, Ita (2010)
    In order to deliver effective services, providers are being advised to 'innovate' their service delivery systems. Innovation in this context often refers to technology, technique or restructuring improvements. However, the ...
  • The use of empirical methods in open source software research: facts, trends and future directions 
    Stol, Klaas-Jan; Ali Babar, Muhammad; Russo, Barbara; Fitzgerald, Brian (IEEE Computer Society, 2009)
    Open Source Software (OSS) is a field of study with increasing interest of researchers. By its nature, OSS is especially suitable for empirical research. A great number of OSS related empirical studies have been conducted, ...
  • User interface engineering for software product lines:the dilemma between automation and usability 
    Pleuss, Andreas; Hauptmann, Benedikt; Dhungana, Deepak; Botterweck, Goetz (Association for Computing Machinery, 2012)
    Software Product Lines (SPL) are systematic approach to develop families of similar software products by explicating their commonalities and variability, e.g., in a feature model. Using techniques from model-driven ...
  • User-centric adaptation of multi-tenant services: preference-based analysis for service reconfiguration 
    García-Galán, Jesús; Pasquale, Liliana; Trinidad, Pablo; Ruiz-Cortés, Antonio (Association for Computing Machinery, 2014)
    Multi-tenancy is a key pillar of cloud services. It allows dif- ferent tenants to share computing resources transparently and, at the same time, guarantees substantial cost savings for the providers. However, from a ...
  • Using focus groups in studies of ISD team behaviour 
    Ó hEocha, Colm; Conboy, Kieran; Wang, Xiaofeng (Academic Publishing Limited, 2010)
    This paper discusses an innovative focus group approach used to study an Information Systems Development (ISD) environment. The research had to cope with the application of a broad framework, untested in practice, seeking ...
  • Using functional defect analysis as an input for software process improvement: initial results 
    Toroi, Tanja; Raninen, Anu; Vainio, Hannu (Springer, 2012)
    In this paper we present how functional defect analysis can be applied for software process improvement (SPI) purposes. Software defect data is shown to be one of the most important available management information sources ...
  • Using higher‐order transformations to derive variability mechanism for embedded systems 
    Botterweck, Goetz; Polzer, Andreas; Kowalewski, Stefan (2009)
  • Using LaTeX for qualitative data analysis 
    Griffin, Ivan J.; Richardson, Ita (TeX Users Group (TUG), 2010)
    LaTeX, in addition to its typesetting role, has considerable potential as a tool to assist in workflow automation for Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) of collected research data.
  • Using ontologies in case-based activity recognition 
    Knox, Stephen; Coyle, Lorcan; Dobson, Simon (Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, 2010)
    Pervasive computing requires the ability to detect user activity in order to provide situation-specific services. Case-based reasoning can be used for activity recognition by using sensor data obtained from the environment. ...
