Organizations that maintain and evolve software would benefit from measuring productivity in an easy and reliable way. This could allow them to determine if new or improved practices are needed, and to evaluate improvement efforts. We propose and evaluate indicators of productivity trends that are based on the premise that productivity during software evolution is closely related to the effort ...

One key to improving high-performance computing (HPC) productivity is finding better ways to measure it. We define productivity in terms of mission goals, i.e., greater productivity means that more science is accomplished with less cost and effort. Traditional software productivity metrics and computing benchmarks have proven inadequate for assessing or predicting such end-to-end productivity. ...

Although Functional Size Measurement (FSM) methods have become widely used by the software organizations, the functional size based effort estimation still needs further investigation. Most of the studies on effort estimation consider total functional size of the software as the primary input to estimation models and they mostly focus on identifying the project parameters which might have a sig...

This paper examines the relationship between firms’ wage offers and workers’ supply of effort using a three-period experiment. In equilibrium, firms will offer deferred compensation: first period productivity is positive and wages are zero, while third period productivity is zero and wages are positive. The experiment produces strong evidence that deferred compensation increases worker effort; ...

Accurate effort prediction is often an important factor for successful software development. However, the diversity of software development tools observed today has resulted in a situation where existing effort prediction models’ applicability appears to be limited. Data-centred fourth-generation-language (4GL) software development provides one such difficulty. This paper aims to construct an a...

The productivity of the most attractive terms of applications in various fields, particularly management. In this regard, human resources productivity plays a key role in any organization.  This study aimed to investigate the relationship between work ethics and productivity of human resources management, time management .Time do research hypotheses using questionnaire distributed among m...
