An empirical trial of multi-dimensional in-process measurement and feedback on a governmental multi-vendor software project

چکیده
Government procured multi-vendor software development projects can use project measurement based on empirical software engineering concepts to measure progress and guide project management. This paper reports on experimental use of multi-dimensional project measurement and feedback in a consortium-based development project. The paper describes measurement functions, analyses, and intermediate results from the project. Two empirical software engineering research and investigation organizations, the Empirical Approach to Software Engineering (EASE) project and the Software Engineering Center (SEC) Japan are conducting the experiment, supported by the government. The target of the development project is an experimental Probe Information Platform for automotive information in the field of Public Information Systems. The trial suggests that multi-dimensional measurements along with the empirical concept are highly useful for projects using the consortium method with no main contractor.

An Empirical Study of Process Management and Metrics based on In-process Measurements of a Standardized Requirements Definition Phase
This paper focuses on in-process project measurement in the requirements definition phase based on progress with standardization of this phase. The authors have verified the utility of in-process project measurement in a real mid-scale multi-vendor distributed project. This trial was successful, but limited to a part of the total development process. The project measurement target was limited t...

متن کاملA parameter-tuned genetic algorithm for vendor managed inventory model for a case single-vendor single-retailer with multi-product and multi-constraint
This paper develops a single-vendor single-retailer supply chain for multi-product. The proposed model is based on Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) approach and vendor uses the retailer's data for better decision making. Number of orders and available capital are the constraints of the model. In this system, shortages are backordered; therefore, the vendor’s warehouse capacity is another limitati...
متن کاملA Research Framework for Empirical Software Engineering Collaboration and Its Application in a Software Development Project
To demonstrate and verify empirical software engineering methods, a new research framework was developed in response to government policy in Japan. This framework was adapted to a government software development project, which is currently in detailed design. This application demonstrates use of the framework in a real software development project. This paper describes the background and curren...
متن کاملAn optimization technique for vendor selection with quantity discounts using Genetic Algorithm
Vendor selection decisions are complicated by the fact that various conflicting multi-objective factors must be considered in the decision making process. The problem of vendor selection becomes still more compli-cated with the inclusion of incremental discount pricing schedule. Such hard combinatorial problems when solved using meta heuristics produce near optimal solutions. This paper propose...
