Resources, dealing with how people are organized in teams, allocated to tasks and perform work units. The patterns composing the language were based on an Ontological Analysis of ISO/IEC 24744 [2] and some of them imported and adapted from SP-OPL [1] and E-OPL [3]. Table 1 presents the patterns that compose

on the basis of a subject key index. (In the TEAM system, this index is based essentially on a polyhierarchical classification and can be broken down to a maximum of (at present) four decimal places. The subject reference can also be given in an uncoded form, for example, in a mnemonic, abbreviated form

on patterns of collaboration among the team members are analyzed. The project gradually shifted from synchronous meetings to asynchronous and individual work patterns. A shift also occurred from an emphasis on discussion to an emphasis on commitment and expression. The requirements elaboration process

based on ETX/ETT-type metrics, but the metrics are estimated via MAC feedback for unicast data transmission instead of broadcast beacons. Using a realistic sensor network traffic trace and an 802.11b testbed of ∼195 Stargates, we experimentally compare the performance of LOF with that of beacon-based

There is no argument that theoretical reasoning, as captured in scientific papers, may be of great value for industry. Typical ex-amples in our field include refactoring methods, software engi-neering process methods, Object Oriented Design techniques and patterns and much more. However, industrial

This paper presents findings from the Interaction Study Group, a team of four researchers based at the Open University (OU) investigating tutorial provision on beginners ' distance language courses. Patterns of verbal interaction in online and telephone tutorials are investigated using social

legacy queries and updates under schema and integrity constraints evolution. The PRISM/PRISM++ approach consists in providing the users with a set of SQL-based Schema Modification Opera-tors (SMOs), which describe how the tables in the old schema are modified into those in the new schema. In order to sup

analysis of Vista to understand patterns of ownership and show its effect on fault prediction models. Finally we provide recommendations for utilization of resources such as code inspections and possible source code change policies based on our results. 1.

in student performance, team success and overall laboratory experience. Based on the combined results, a number of recommendations are brought forth for improving curriculum design and student assessment at the graduate level.

. The obtained results justify a posteriori previous researches on the specification and detection of design smells. Software development teams should warn developers against high number of occurrences of design smells and recommend refactorings at each step of the development to remove them when possible
