  • Vague project start makes project success of outsourced software development projects uncertain 
    Savolainen, Paula (Springer-Verlag, 2010)
    A definition of a project success includes at least three criteria: 1) meeting planning goals, 2) customer benefits, and 3) supplier benefits. This study aims to point out the importance of the definition of the project ...
  • Value creation and capture with open source software: a theoretcial model for understanding the role of value networks 
    Morgan, Lorraine; Feller, Joseph; Finnegan, Patrick (ECIS, 2010)
    This paper aims at examining how firms create and capture value with open source software (OSS). OSS is seen as an excellent exemplar of both peer production and open innovation. Nevertheless, the use of OSS as a form of ...
  • Variability and evolution in model-based engineering of embedded systems 
    Botterweck, Goetz; Polzer, Andreas; Kowalewski, Stefan (MBEES 2010 - Model-Based Development of Embedded Systems 2010, 2010)
    In this paper, we report on techniques for variability and evolution in Model-based Engineering of Embedded Systems. The techniques are based on an integration of domain-specific languages for embedded systems with ...
  • Variability in time — product line variability and evolution revisited 
    Elsner, Christoph; Botterweck, Goetz; Lohmann, Daniel; Schroder-Preikschat, Wolfgang (VAMOS 2010, 2010)
    In its basic form, a variability model describes the variations among similar artifacts from a structural point of view. It does not capture any information about when these variations occur or how they are related to each ...
  • Variability management in software product lines : an investigation of contemporary industrial challenges 
    Chen, Lianping; Ali Babar, Muhammad (Springer-Verlag, 2010)
    Variability management is critical for achieving the large scale reuse promised by the software product line paradigm. It has been studied for almost 20 years. We assert that it is important to explore how well the body ...
  • Variability management in software product lines: a systematic review 
    Chen, Lianping; Ali Babar, Muhammad; Ali, Nour (Association for Computing Machinery, 2009)
    Variability Management (VM) in Software Product Line (SPL) is a key activity that usually affects the degree to which a SPL is successful. SPL community has spent huge amount of resources on developing various approaches ...
  • Verification & validation in medi spice 
    Sivakumar, M.S.; Casey, Valentine; Mc Caffery, Fergal; Coleman, Gerry (2011)
    Effective verification and validation are central to medical device software de-velopment and are essential for regulatory approval. Although guidance is available in mul-tiple standards in the medical device software ...
  • Verification of adaptive systems 
    Pullum, Laura; Cui, Xiaohui; Vassev, Emil; Hinchey, Mike; Rouff, Christopher; Buskens, Richard (The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2012)
    Adaptive systems are critical for future space and other unmanned and intelligent systems. Verification of these systems is also critical for their use in systems with potential harm to human life or with large financial ...
  • The views of experts on the current state of agile method tailoring 
    Conboy, Kieran; Fitzgerald, Brian (Springer, 2007)
    As stated in the conference theme, the failure of information systems and information technology projects remains stubbornly high. Agile methods have recently emerged as a new and seemingly popular alternative approach ...
  • Virtual community use for packaged software maintenance 
    Holmstrom Olsson, Helena; Fitzgerald, Brian (Taylor & Francis, 2006)
    In this study, we investigated the use of virtual communities for involving distributed customers in the maintenance of packaged software. On the basis of an empirical study, we suggest that virtual communities can be ...
  • Virtual software teams: overcoming the obstacles 
    Casey, Valentine; Richardson, Ita (2005)
    As a result of the sustained popularity of Global Software Development (GSD) many organisations are increasingly leveraging this strategy to establish virtual software teams. In this paper the results from research ...
  • Visual configuration in automotive software product lines 
    Botterweck, Goetz; Thiel, Steffen; Crawley, Ciarán; Nestor, Daren; PreuBner, André (IEEE Computer Society, 2008)
    Software Product Line engineering has emerged as a viable and important software development paradigm in the automotive industry. It allows companies to realise significant improvements in time-to-market, cost, productivity, ...
  • Visual tool support for configuring and understanding software product lines 
    Botterweck, Goetz; Thiel, Steffen; Nestor, Daren; Abid, Saad bin; Cawley, Ciarán (IEEE Computer Society, 2008)
    Software product lines of industrial size can easily incorporate thousands of variation points. This scale of variability can become extremely complex to manage resulting in a product development process that bears significant ...
  • Visualisation of variability in software product line engineering 
    Nestor, Daren; O'Malley, Luke; Quigley, Aaron; Sikora, Ernst; Thiel, Steffen (2007)
    Using a product line approach allows companies realize significant improvements in time-to-market, cost, productivity, and quality. One fundamental problem in software product line engineering is related to the fact ...
  • Visualisation of variability to support product derivation in software product lines 
    Nestor, Daren (2008)
  • Visualisation techniques to support derivation tasks in software product line development 
    Nestor, Daren; O'Malley, Luke; Healy, Patrick; Quigley, Aaron; Thiel, Steffen (Associaton for Computing Machinery, 2007)
    Adopting a software product line approach al-lows companies to realise significant improve-ments in time-to-market, cost, productivity, and system quality. A fundamental problem in soft-ware product line engineering is the ...
  • Visualising inter-model relationships in software product lines. 
    Cawley, Ciarán; Thiel, Steffen; Botterweck, Goetz; Nestor, Daren (2009)
    Within Software Product Line (SPL) Engineering,feature modelling is a prevalent mechanism for managing variability but is insufficient for describing it as a whole and for relating its different aspects. Other modelling ...
  • Visualising variability relationships in software product lines 
    Cawley, Ciarán; Thiel, Steffen; Healy, Patrick (2008)
    Software Product Line Engineering is a development paradigm that focuses on the identification and management of the commonalities and variability of a set of software products such that core assets can be developed and ...
  • Walk before you run: using heuristic evaluation to assess a training tool prototype 
    Monasor, Miguel J; Noll, John; Vizcaíno, Aurora; Piattini, Mario; Beecham, Sarah (Association for Computing Machinery, 2014)
    Context: One of the chief challenges of Global Software Development (GSD) is for globally, culturally and linguistically diverse team members to communicate effectively. Failing to meet this challenge can lead to ...
