This paper addresses the issues of dynamic load sharing in large-scale computing systems. Typically, dynamic load sharing policies use explicit information to make load sharing decision. Our load sharing policy, however, uses consuming rate, which is implicit information, as a resource metric. This implicit information represents each worker’s overall capability such as processing power, networ...

This paper presents a reliability and availability evaluation of a large Network Based Education (NBE) system called NovaNET. NovaNET is a wide area NBE system which serves thousands of users on a daily basis. A successful NBE system is expected to provide appropriate Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees to its users. Among the most important extended QoS parameters are system reliability and av...

This paper proposes a risk-based process strategy decision-making approach. To improve the flexibility in applying the Value-Based Software Quality Achievement (VBSQA) process framework, we embed the risk-based process strategy decision-making approach into the VBSQA process framework. It facilitates project managers to tailor the VBSQA process framework to different project business cases (sch...

Managing software project stress is the key to improving software quality and productivity. Software development is a complex intellectual process involving precise communication of abstract concepts across multiple discipline boundaries. Optimum stress maximizes communication effectiveness and the ability to deal with complexity.
