On CASE Tool Usage at Nokia
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the results of a research work targeted to understanding CASE tools usage in Nokia. By means of a survey questionnaire, we collected data aimed to identify what features are most useful and best implemented in current CASE tools according to senior developers and managers. With the aid of both descriptive and inferential statistical data analysis methods, we found out that the features that are rated most useful belong to the graphical editing, version management and document generation categories. The statistical methods we use allow us to extend the results to the whole population with a certain degree of confidence. The analysis of the data seems to give the indication that there is a general level of dissatisfaction on the quality of currently available CASE tools. Also, there is evidence that some of the most advanced features (reverse engineering, code generation) are not deemed as useful as others. Further research should focus on extending the survey to other types of industries, and attempt generalization of the results. This may constitute precious feedback for the software tools industry in order to develop products that correspond more to industry needs.

Envismo: A Mobile Platform for Collecting and Visualizing Energy Usage Data
We have constructed Envismo (energy-visualization-mobility), a prototype of a real-time energy-monitoring platform that pairs common mobile Internet devices (Nokia N810 internet tablets) with cheap, readily available environmental sensors and a webbased datastore tied to an existing energy-monitoring network. This allows for the collection of real-time fine-grained environmental and energy usag...

This paper discusses how a CASE-tool supporting the Unified Modeling Language (UML) can be customized and extended using a visual scripting mechanism. We briefly introduce a set of UML model operations that can be used to transform a UML diagram of one type to another, and to perform set-theoretical operations on them. We discuss a visual scripting mechanism that can be used to combine these op...
