In this paper an attempt is taken to formalize the design and implementation of agentbased approach for agile manufacturing system scheduling. The general framework of an agentbased approach for agile manufacturing systems scheduling is presented. Some steps have been taken to construct a methodology for the development of negotiation mechanism in agent-based manufacturing systems scheduling to...

Agile computing may be defined as opportunistically (or on user demand) discovering and taking advantage of available resources in order to improve capability, performance, efficiency, fault tolerance, and survivability. The term agile is used to highlight both the need to quickly react to changes in the environment as well as the need to exploit transient resources only available for short per...

Agile methods are widely employed to develop high-quality software, but theoretical analyses argue that agile methods are inadequate for security-critical projects. However, most agiledeveloped software today needs to satisfy baseline security requirements, so that we need to focus on how to achieve this level for typical agile projects. Software grows up through its life cycle, so software dev...

The development of more usable and effective healthcare information systems has become a critical issue. In the software industry methodologies such as agile and iterative development processes have emerged to lead to more effective and usable systems. These approaches highlight focusing on user needs and promoting iterative and flexible development practices. Evaluation and testing of iterativ...

Agile software development is an approach to constructing software that is designed to be responsive to change in the business environment. In particular, agile development allows rapid reaction to changing requirements. Associated with agile development is the idea of getting working software into the customer’s hands quickly. This allows rapid feedback on acceptability criteria and, under som...

Management literature on agile software development has largely focused on the relationship between agile methods and behavioral control, particularly the role that control plays in fostering flexibility. Although the focus on control has helpfully illuminated the constraints necessary in agile projects, it has provided only a half-finished portrait of the importance of structure in this approa...

In software development process, the requirements are not stable and keep on changing according to the customers. In such dynamic situations the developers are required to use dynamic approaches for software development. The agile methodology provides dynamic methods such as extreme programming, scrum, feature driven approach and dynamic system development method. Studies reveals agile methods ...

Agile software development methods have become increasingly popular in the last years. However, agile methods don’t specify explicitly how to deal with the quality requirements. Moreover there is little known about how organizations currently deal with this shortcoming. Based on several case studies this research will investigate real-world large-scale distributed agile projects to understand t...

today’s Scrum vision of agile so ware development to a disciplined agile solu on delivery. It begins with a brief overview of the agile so ware development movement and its implica ons. We then overview the Scrum method with its associated benefi ts and drawbacks, and then how to move beyond Scrum to a full delivery process framework called Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD). DAD is a governed, h...
