Ragnarok is an experimental software development environment that focuses on enhanced support for managerial activities in large scale software development, taking the daily work of the software developer as its point of departure. The main emphasis is support in three areas: Management, navigation, and collaboration. The leitmotif is the software architecture, which is extended to handle manag...

The goal of the ORGTECH-project is to improve the cooperation between two engineering offices on the one hand, and a major German steel mill, on the other. An integrated change process has been initiated which combines the introduction of a groupware application with methods of organization development. This change process draws on the framework of Integrated Organization and Technology Develop...

Analysis of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks requires a combination of algorithmic and visualization tools, ideally integrated within a software platform that is itself integrated with access to local and distant data banks. We present a software tool called ProViz that provides highly-interactive visualization of large networks of interactions, integrated with data model under develo...

These Actual business leverages on software service to improve general firm performance. Software is always more a strategic asset to sustain business. In meantime business is changing continuously: there is a transition from centralized to distributed and cooperative organizations. This work describes a software maintenance process strictly integrated with enterprise evolution. It starts from ...

Sopware development is essentially cooperative work which is collaboratively performed by zrarious roles of persons and tools. CommunicationS among the ,members of a development team, e.g. conversation, an.d among tools is on,e of the most important characteristics for these collaborative work. To make our software development environment more eflective an,d comfortable, we sh,ould observe what...

Rule-Based Process Servers for Software Development Environments

As wide-area network is spreading, cooperative software development in wide-area distributed environments is getting common. We are aiming at building a distributed development support system for object-oriented software. Integrated management of various distributed software components and support for cooperative work are necessary for distributed development support. In this paper, we focus on...

Today’s software development environment requires tools and techniques for accurate, efficient evaluation of product reliability. To be successful, SRE must address the common, yet complex issues facing companies when assessing their product’s reliability, such as the large number of customer usage scenarios, limited reliability evaluation times, and comparisons with competing products.
