in order to have better insight of project characteristics, different kinds of fuzzy analysis for project networks have been recently proposed, most of which consider activities duration as the main and only source of imprecision and vagueness, but as it is usually experienced in real projects, the structure of the network is also subject to changes. in this paper we consider three types of imp...

Software estimation provides an important tool for project planning; whose quality and accuracy greatly affect the success of a project. There are several area of the software engineering in which we can use the function point analysis like project planning, project construction, software implementation etc. In software development, accuracy and efficiency of cost estimation methodology for a w...

Conventional risk analysis techniques do not necessarily cover all security aspects in software. Defects in a software design cannot be identified by simply looking for flaws in the code. Therefore, carrying out risk analysis at architecture level is important. In this project we have performed architectural risk analysis of Chromium which is an open source web browser project. The method follo...

Project management of product/service orders has become a mode of operation in many companies. Although these are mostly cyclically recurring projects, risk management is very important for them. An extended risk-analysis model for new product/service projects is presented in this paper. Emphasis is on a solution developed in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The usu...

This paper presents an approach based on network theory to deal with risk interactions in large engineering projects. Indeed, such projects are exposed to numerous and interdependent risks of various nature, which makes their management more difficult. In this paper, a topological analysis based on network theory is presented, which aims at identifying key elements in the structure of interrela...

HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L’archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau...

Project management processes such as risk management are used in many organizations however; research shows risk management is the least mature of all project management knowledge areas. This is important because poor risk management is one of many challenges on IS/IT projects that can lead to failure. The goal of this paper is to determine if the level of actual risk management process usage i...
