Distributed Computer System Complexity Versus Component Simplicity: Their Effects on Software Maintenance
'Ihe computing world is undergoing a transformation from centralized to distributed computer systems. At the same time, software maintenance has been identified repeatedly as the largest single system life cycle cost. This paper focuses on the issue of whether and to what extent distributed computer operating environments directly afrect software maintenance difficulty (and, by association, sof...
متن کاملDistributed Computing Environment Software Maintenance: Problems of Measurement and Research
Historically, the largest single life cycle computer vstem cost has been for maintaining information system software. More recently, the computing world has begun to undergo a significant transformation porn centralized computer architectures to non-centralized or distributed computer architectures. This paper discusses a new area of research on sojiivare maintenance (and development in generat...
متن کاملMeasurement of Complexity and Comprehension of a Program Through a Cognitive Approach
The inherent complexity of the software systems creates problems in the software engineering industry. Numerous techniques have been designed to comprehend the fundamental characteristics of software systems. To understand the software, it is necessary to know about the complexity level of the source code. Cognitive informatics perform an important role for better understanding the complexity o...
متن کاملVisual Obliq: A System for Building Distributed, Multi-User Applications by Direct Manipulation
This report describes Visual Obliq, a user interface development environment for constructing distributed, multi-user applications. Applications are created by designing the interface with a GUI-builder and embedding callback code in an interpreted language, in much the same way as one would build a traditional (nondistributed, single-user) application with a modern user interface development e...
متن کاملReduction of Software Development Costs Under the Sombrero Distributed Single Address Space Operating System
Sombrero is a distributed single address space operating system (SASOS). DSM and persistence are part of the fundamental nature of a distributed SASOS because the common virtual address space is distributed, shared and persistent. We believe that the major reason for using a SASOS is that many useful applications would be less complex if written to run on a SASOS rather than under a conventiona...
