The rise of the use of mobile technologies in the world, such as smartphones and tablets, connected to mobile networks is changing old habits and creating new ways for the society to access information and interact with computer systems. Thus, traditional information systems are undergoing a process of adaptation to this new computing context. However, it is important to note that the character...

Software estimation has been one of the biggest challenges in Computer Science for the last decades. This practice is essential for research and development companies, since it can provide cost and deadline forecasting, for example. Most of the traditional techniques such as function points, regression models, COCOMO, etc, require a long-term estimation process, which is unworkable for greatly ...

Software development effort estimation is essential for software project planning and management. In this study, we present a spectral clustering algorithm based on symmetric matrixes as an option data processing. It expected that constructing model more similar can increase the accuracy. The research methods employ symmetrical processing experimentation. Four experimental models function point...

This study aims to determine the efforts that can be made improve early childhood language development in schools. Derived from results of previous studies, it is known there still a lack children at an age. influenced by many factors, including boring learning school, stuck methods, and creativity teachers creating exciting environment. The research method used this literature research, where ...

one of the most important aspects of software project management is the estimation of cost and time required for running information system. therefore, software managers try to carry estimation based on behavior, properties, and project restrictions. software cost estimation refers to the process of development requirement prediction of software system. various kinds of effort estimation patter...

Some studies have been recently carried out to investigate the use of search-based techniques in estimating software development effort and the results reported seem to be promising. Tabu Search is a meta-heuristic approach successfully used to address several optimization problems. In this paper, we report on an empirical analysis carried out exploiting Tabu Search on two publicly available da...

There is a good deal of anecdotal case-study evidence that organizations that have improved their SEI-CMM process maturity level have been able to reduce the amount of effort it takes them to produce a given software product. However, these case-study projects have concurrently realized other improvements in such areas as tool use, domain knowledge, component reuse, and office efficiency. As a ...
