Project management software packages are increasingly used by companies. These tools require a substantial financial investment, hence the importance of identifying the real contribution of project management software packages to the realization of projects. However, studies on the impacts of software packages on the performance of engineering project management are rare and mostly based on per...

The ami (Application of Metrics in Industry) initiative was launched with funding from the European Commission in order to raise the profile of measurement in Europe. It comprises a method for implementing measurement programmes based on goal-oriented measurement and process maturity assessment. In this paper we examine ami as a case study in software technology transfer. The dissemination of t...

The actuality and importance of skill to evaluate the possible success of software project based on SRS were showed in this paper. The aim of research is prediction of characteristics and evaluating the success of software project implementation based on analysis of SRS. Method of evaluating the success of software project implementation based on analysis of SRS using neuronet information techn...

This paper presents background theories and required steps towards preparation of a WLAN location system. This paper targets on a software project and intention behind this paper is to motivate the young researchers in the area. Keywords-component; WLAN; Location Systems; K-nearest

We propose a model for analysis and understanding of factors affecting software project complexity based on the Analytic Network Process and problem structuring methods. We draw on past research on software project complexity and on research on software development productivity and project contexts. The paper provides an analysis of existing research on software project complexity. The proposed...

To increase the likelihood for software project success, it is important to be able to identify the drivers of success. This paper compares three methods to identify similar projects with the objective to predict project success. The hypothesis is that projects with similar characteristics are likely to have the same outcome in terms of success. Two of the methods are based on identifying simil...

The new design for the introductory programming course at ETH relies on object technology, Eiffel, extensive reuse, a graphics-rich library (TRAFFIC) built specifically for the course, a textbook (“Touch of Class”) and an Outside-In approach based on “inverted curriculum” ideas. This article presents the key aspects of the approach. Note: readers interested in following the development of our c...
