Extreme Programming Considered Harmful for Reliable Software Development 2 . 0

Exploring the Underlying Influencing Factors of Extreme Programming

A study on the pair programming productivity influencing variables is undertaken. Pair programming can be briefly summarized as an unorthodox programming paradigm in which two programmers share one keyboard and monitor during real-time programming sessions. This programming paradigm creates a high peer pressure programming session, where the two programmers are constantly pushed to their limits...

Utilizing Monte Carlo Method for Ranking Extreme Efficient Units in Data Envelopment Analysis

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming method for calculatingefficiency of decision making units (DMU). In calculating the efficiency score of unitsthrough DEA we may come up with some efficient units. But the question is among theseefficient units which of them is better. As we know, it is possible to rank inefficient unitsthrough efficiency score; however, for ranking e...

Analysis of Extreme Temperature Change Trend under Future Scenarios in order to Assess Climate Fluctuations (Case Study: Sanandaj and Saghez Synoptic Stations)

Climate change is a phenomenon that has affected natural ecosystems and all aspects of human life in recent years. Therefore, identifying and predicting climate change can greatly help manage it and reduce its harmful effects. The purpose of the present study is to identify whether or not occurrence of climate change by extreme indices including TXx and TNn during 1961-2015. In addition, CanESM...
