چکیده
This paper identifies the forces affecting offshore software development based on a knowledge management perspective. The identified four major forces act along the dimensions of finance, individual education, organizational maturity, and culture. The analysis is validated on cases of European offshoring practice exhibited in the database of the EuroSPI (European Software Process Improvement) series of conferences.

متن کاملNumerical Modeling of Launching Offshore Jackets from Transportation Barge & the Significance of Water Entry Forces on Horizontal Jacket Members
Development of a numerical model which describes launching of offshore jackets from barge is presented in this paper. In this model, in addition to capabilities of commercial softwares, water entry forces on jacket members and an implicit Newmark solution technique are included. The results are in general agreement with other numerical software’s available (SACS). Fluid forces acting on jacket ...
متن کاملToward a Framework of Cultural Effects on Software Development
Culture is one of the major concerns when companies choose offshore outsourcing for software development. However, cultural effects on software development are hard to measure. Therefore, culture is often ignored in offshore outsourcing contracts for software development, or treated as a patch-up issue in the software eventually delivered by the offshore entity. Either scenario might jeopardize...
متن کاملWork Dispersion, Process-Based Learning, and Offshore Software Development Performance
In this paper we develop a learning-mediated model of offshore software project productivity and quality to examine whether widely adopted structured software processes are effective in mitigating the negative effects of work dispersion in offshore software development. We explicate how the key process areas of the capability maturity model (CMM) can be utilized as a platform to launch learning...
