Meta-Model for Global Software Development to Support Portability and Interoperability in Global Software Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
Global Software Development (GSD) considers the coordinated activity of software development that is not localized and central but geographically distributed. To support coordination among sites, usually it is aimed to adopt the same development and execution platform. Unfortunately, adopting a single platform might not be always possible due to technical or organizational constraints of the different sites in GSD projects. As such, very often GSD projects have to cope with portability and interoperability problems. To address these problems we propose to apply model-driven architecture design (MDA) approach. For this we present a common metamodel of GSD that we have derived from a systematic domain analysis process. The meta-model enhances the understanding of GSD, is used to define platform independent models of GSD architecture, and transform platform independent models to platform specific models. Keywords-Global Software Development, Architecture Modeling, Model-Driven Development

Measuring the Performance of the Virtual Teams in Global Software Development Projects
The development teams who are geographically spread, culturally mixed and mainly depend on information and communication technology (ICT) for communication is defined as a global virtual teams (GVTs). Despite the advancement of technologies, achieving the efficient performance of GVTs remains a challenge. The reviewed literature has highlighted the importance of training and development, organi...
متن کاملModel-driven engineering techniques for the development of multi-agent systems
Model-driven engineering (MDE), implicitly based upon meta-model principles, is gaining more and more attention in software systems due to its inherent benefits. Its use normally improves the quality of the developed systems in terms of productivity, portability, inter-operability and maintenance. Therefore, its exploitation for the development of multi-agent systems (MAS) emerges in a natural ...

Background and Objective: Various aspects including the environmental burdens, social and economic consequences of the waste management(WM) scenarios must be considered to come up with a comprehensive WM plan. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach is a systematic method to quantify the environmental burdens of each WM scenario. Materials and Methods: This study used an LCA approach to develop a...
متن کاملSolving Design Issues in Web Meta-Model Approach to Support End-User Development
End-user development is proposed as a solution to the issues business organisations face when developing web applications to support their business processes. We are proposing a meta-model based development approach to support End-User Development. End-users can actively participate in web application development using tools to populate and instantiate the meta-model. The meta-model has three a...
متن کاملA Model-Driven Decision Support System for Software Cost Estimation (Case Study: Projects in NASA60 Dataset)
Estimating the costs of software development is one of the most important activities in software project management. Inaccuracies in such estimates may cause irreparable loss. A low estimate of the cost of projects will result in failure on delivery on time and indicates the inefficiency of the software development team. On the other hand, high estimates of resources and costs for a project wil...
