Data accumulation and software effort prediction
(IEEE Computer Society Press, 2010)BACKGROUND: In reality project managers are constrained by the incremental nature of data collection. Specifically, project observations are accumulated one project at a time. Likewise within-project data are accumulated ... -
Data quality in empirical software engineering: a targeted review
(ACM, 2013)Context: The utility of prediction models in empirical software engineering (ESE) is heavily reliant on the quality of the data used in building those models. Several data quality challenges such as noise, incompleteness, ... -
Deriving relevant functional measures for automated development projects
(Elsevier, 1993)The increasing use of computer aided software engineering (CASE) tools, fourth-generation languages (4GLs) and other similar development automation techniques, has reduced the impact of implementation methods and individual ... -
Design and control of cross coupled mechanisms driven by AC brushless servomotors
(Professional Engineering Publishing, 1998)This paper presents an overview of a design methodology for the optimal synthesis of hybrid mechanisms. Hybrid mechanisms have been defined as multi-degree of freedom systems where the input motions are supplied by different ... -
Early experiences in measuring multimedia systems development effort
(Springer-Verlag, 1997)The development of multimedia information systems must be managed and controlled just as it is for other generic system types. This paper proposes an approach for assessing multimedia component and system characteristics ... -
Effort estimation for the development of spatial information systems
(University of Otago, 1996)The management and control of software processes has assumed increasing importance in recent times. The ability to obtain accurate and consistent indications of, for example, system quality, developer productivity and ... -
Effort-based re-estimation during software projects
(AUT University, 2005) -
Establishing relationships between specification size and software process effort in CASE environments
(Elsevier, 1997)Advances in software process technology have rendered some existing methods of size assessment and effort estimation inapplicable. The use of automation in the software process, however, provides an opportunity for the ... -
Evaluating prediction systems in software project estimation
(Elsevier, 2012)Context Software engineering has a problem in that when we empirically evaluate competing prediction systems we obtain conflicting results. Objective To reduce the inconsistency amongst validation study results and ... -
Evolving connectionist system versus algebraic formulas for prediction of renal function from serum creatinine
(Nature Publishing Group, 2005)Background In clinical trials, equation 7 from the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study is the most accurate formula for the prediction of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from serum creatinine. An alternative ... -
Evolving connectionist systems for adaptive sport coaching
(Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, 2008)Contemporary computer assisted coaching software operates either on a particular sub-space of the wider problem or requires expert(s) to operate and provide explanations and recommendations. This paper introduces a novel ... -
Examining the significance of high-level programming features in source code author classification
(Elsevier, 2008)The use of Source Code Author Profiles (SCAP) represents a new, highly accurate approach to source code authorship identification that is, unlike previous methods, language independent. While accuracy is clearly a crucial ... -
Factors systematically associated with errors in subjective estimates of software development effort: the stability of expert judgment
(IEEE Computer Society, 1999)Estimation of project development effort is most often performed by expert judgment rather than by using an empirically derived model (although such may be used by the expert to assist their decision). One question that ... -
Factors that affect software systems development project outcomes: a survey of research
(AUT UniversityAssociation for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2011)Determining the factors that have an influence on software systems development and deployment project outcomes has been the focus of extensive and ongoing research for more than 30 years. We provide here a survey of the ... -
FULSOME: a fuzzy logic modeling tool for software metricians
(IEEE Computer Society Press, 1999)There has been a growing body of literature suggesting that some of the problems faced by software development project managers can be at least partially overcome by using fuzzy logic techniques. However, one issue that ... -
FULSOME: fuzzy logic for software metric practitioners and researchers
(IEEE Computer Society Press, 1999)There has been increasing interest in recent times for using fuzzy logic techniques to represent software metric models, especially those predicting the software development effort. The use of fuzzy logic for this application ... -
Fuzzy logic for software metric models throughout the development life-cycle
(IEEE Computer Society Press, 1999)One problem faced by managers who are using project management models is the elicitation of numerical inputs. Obtaining these with any degree of confidence early in a project is not always feasible. Related to this difficulty ... -
FUZZYMANAGER: a teaching and introductory environment for Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Clustering
(University of Otago, 1999)Using fuzzy logic, and associated techniques such as fuzzy clustering, in a teaching environment necessitates the availability of introductory and pedagogically appropriate tools. In a similar manner, introductory level ... -
Heuristic and rule-based knowledge acquisition: classification of numeral strings in text
(Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2006)This paper describes the rule-based classification of numerals and strings that include numerals, composed of a number and semantic unit(s) that indicate a SPEED, NUMBER, or other measure, at three levels: morphological, ... -
How reliable are systematic reviews in empirical software engineering?
(IEEE Computer Society, 2010)BACKGROUND-The systematic review is becoming a more commonly employed research instrument in empirical software engineering. Before undue reliance is placed on the outcomes of such reviews it would seem useful to consider ...
