Software Engineering Economics

by Barry W. Boehm , 1981
"... Abstract—This paper summarizes the current state of the art and recent trends in software engineering economics. It provides an overview of economic analysis techniques and their applicability to software engineering and management. It surveys the field of software cost estimation, including the maj ..."

Foundations for the Study of Software Architecture

by Dewayne E. Perry, Alexander L. Wolf - ACM SIGSOFT SOFTWARE ENGINEERING NOTES , 1992
"... The purpose of this paper is to build the foundation for software architecture. We first develop an intuition for software architecture by appealing to several well-established architectural disciplines. On the basis of this intuition, we present a model of software architec-ture that consists of th ..."

Model-Based Clustering, Discriminant Analysis, and Density Estimation

by Chris Fraley, Adrian E. Raftery - JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION , 2000
"... Cluster analysis is the automated search for groups of related observations in a data set. Most clustering done in practice is based largely on heuristic but intuitively reasonable procedures and most clustering methods available in commercial software are also of this type. However, there is little ..."

Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures

by Roy Thomas Fielding , 2000
"... The World Wide Web has succeeded in large part because its software architecture has been designed to meet the needs of an Internet-scale distributed hypermedia system. The Web has been iteratively developed over the past ten years through a series of modifications to the standards that define its ..."

architecture. In order to identify those aspects of the Web that needed improvement and avoid undesirable modifications, a model for the modern Web architecture was needed to guide its design, definition, and deployment. Software architecture research investigates methods for determining how best to partition

A case study of open source software development: the Apache server

by Audris Mockus, Roy T. Fielding, James Herbsleb - In: Proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2000 , 2000
"... According to its proponents, open source style software development has the capacity to compete successfully, and perhaps in many cases displace, traditional commercial development methods. In order to begin investigating such claims, we examine the development process of a major open source applica ..."

An Overview of Workflow Management: From Process Modeling to Workflow Automation Infrastructure

by Diimitrios Georgakopoulos, Mark Hornick, Amit Sheth - DISTRIBUTED AND PARALLEL DATABASES , 1995
"... Today’s business enterprises must deal with global competition, reduce the cost of doing business, and rapidly develop new services and products. To address these requirements enterprises must constantly reconsider and optimize the way they do business and change their information systems and appl ..."

and applications to support evolving business processes. Workflow technology facilitates these by providing methodologies and software to support (i) business process modeling to capture business processes as workflow specifications, (ii) business process reengineering to optimize specified processes, and (iii

A Field Study of the Software Design Process for Large Systems

by Bill Curtis, Herb Krasner, Neil Iscoe - Communications of the ACM , 1988
"... The problems of designing large software systems were studied through interviewing personnel from 17 large projects. A layered behavioral model is used to analyze how three lgf these problems-the thin spread of application domain knowledge, fluctuating and conflicting requirements, and communication ..."

A classification and comparison framework for software architecture description languages

by Nenad Medvidovic, Richard N. Taylor - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering , 2000
"... Software architectures shift the focus of developers from lines-of-code to coarser-grained architectural elements and their overall interconnection structure. Architecture description languages (ADLs) have been proposed as modeling notations to support architecture-based development. There is, howev ..."
