Agile methods are an attractive alternative for those pressured to produce code fast. Many programmers like the hands-on strategy of these approaches which also help them avoid some of the less exciting tasks, such as specification. On the other hand, some people appear to welcome agile methods as an excuse to throw overboard everything that requirements engineering has been teaching. This posi...

Agile Development Methodologies have been designed to address the problem of delivering high-quality software on time under constantly and rapidly changing requirements in business and IT environments. Agile development processes are characterized by extensive coding practice, intensive communication between stakeholders, fast iterative cycles, small and flexible teams, and minimal efforts in s...

In a fast changing business environment, companies that can innovate better and faster, and respond quickly to customer’s requirements, will win. One of the most important industries of knowledge-based economy, by all means, is the software industry. In order to achieve business success and to innovate in the market, almost every large organization relies on software. The emergence of Web 2.0 a...

Current Army C2 systems cannot integrate “come as you are” capabilities into operations making it difficult to combine participants into a cohesive force. This paper describes the Agile Planner concept developed by BAEAIT as robust approach for configurable C2 “on the fly”. With an Agile Planner, participants declare their capabilities when they register into the system. Once they do so, an Agi...

We evaluated software maintenance of an open source cloud platform system we developed using an agile software development method. We previously reported on a rapid service launch using the agile software development method in spite of large-scale development. For this study, we analyzed inquiries and the defect removal efficiency of our recently developed software throughout one-year operation...

The enormous change in internet economy, also changes the dynamics of some software engineering rules. Agile software development process is an advanced system to realize key values of the projects fast and effective. Agile software development processes aim to accomplish the life-cycle of software projects efficiently. Netas Telecommunication Corporation has the knowledge and experience of agi...

Lean software development Lean software development (LSD) is a translation of lean manufacturing and lean IT principles and practices to the software development domain. Adapted from the Toyota Production System, a pro-lean subculture is emerging from within the Agile community. Origin The term lean software development originated in a book by the same name, written by Mary Poppendieck and Tom ...

Agile software development (ASD) methods attempt to foster agility as one dimension of the complex activity of delivering software solutions to gain business advantage in turbulent environments. It is however unknown whether such methods improve code delivery in software houses producing legacy mainframe software where the source code is not in an object-oriented programming language. In this p...

We study two cooperative solutions of a market with indivisible goods modeled as a generalized assignment game: Set-wise stability and Core. We …rst establish that the Set-wise stable set is contained in the Core and it contains the non-empty set of competitive equilibrium payo¤s. We then state and prove three limit results for replicated markets. First, the sequence of Cores of replicated mark...
