چکیده
This paper discusses Brooks’ The Mythical Man-Month, a landmark work in the software project management field, and compares the software project management advice given there with practices employed some 25 years later. To find out the state of today’s practice 20 experienced software developers were interviewed regarding their impressions of factors leading to success or failure of software development projects. Their observations are compared with the points raised by Brooks in his seminal work. q 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All

To deal with the increased complexity related to the testing of communications software, we propose the integration and application of finite state machine based specification transformations and testability measures early in the communications software development process. Based on this integration, the testability of a given design is estimated and appropriate specification transformations ar...

This paper describes an architecture for workflow management systems based on Workflow Intelligent Business Objects (WIBOs). The design of WIBOs is based on principles of intelligence, autonomy, collaboration and co-operation. Using WIBOs that carry out tasks on users’ behalf, it is possible to build workflow systems that bring further improvements in process automation and dynamic management, ...
متن کاملImplementation of an efficient requirements-analysis supporting system using similarity measure techniques
As software becomes more complicated and larger, software engineer’s requirements analysis become important and uneasy activity. This paper proposes a requirements analysis supporting system that supports informal requirements analysis. The proposed system measures the similarity between requirement sentences to identify possible redundancies and inconsistencies, and extracts the possible ambig...
متن کاملSoftware intensive embedded systems
Embedded systems are critical components of our everyday lives, be they in control systems like airbag controllers in cars, or in consumer products like washing machines and phones. Since such electronic products evolve to software intensive systems, software, becoming larger, more complex and prevalent, poses severe problems in the development of those systems. The required degree of dependabi...
