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.

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

During a software project’s lifetime, the software goes through many changes, as components are added, removed and modified to fix bugs and add new features. This paper is intended as a lightweight introduction to some of the issues arising from an ‘archaeological’ investigation of software evolution. We use our own work to look at some of the challenges faced, techniques used, findings obtaine...

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...

This study aims to explore the critical driving and resisting forces that promote or inhibit the implementation and use of project management (PM) software in Qatari Government Organizations in an attempt to determine whether software-based PM methodologies are being effectively implemented in the public sector organizations or not. Research hypotheses were evaluated using ANOVA and MannWhitney...
