In global software development (GSD) projects, all team members (e.g., project manager, quality assurance, technical leader, and developer) can benefit from being aware on the project status regarding their area of responsibility. While there is considerable attention on providing project overview data and tool support to the project manager, there is only weak support for the other roles, resu...

The objectives of this study were (1) to investigate the effects of communication style (CS) and time orientation (TO) on people’s perception of and proficiency in responding to notification systems and (2) to study the applications of these effects in the design of user notification in anti-virus software. Significant effects were found in the experiment; the results showed that users with a l...

Publish/subscribe services, specifically notification servers, are used as the middleware for the implementation of a large set of collaborative software engineering tools. With their popularization, many notification servers are being developed to support specific application domains. At the same time, general-purpose notification servers provide a large set of functionality for a broad set of...

Online learning in K-12 and higher education has been growing rapidly, and open source software has the potential to improve the quality of e-learning. This chapter describes how FOSS enables turning e-learning from a potentially restrictive and narrow framing of the education experience to an emergent and social experience. The chapter will identify several key elements of the FOSS model that ...

The quality of software is enhanced by using the design patterns. The design patterns are the reusable component used in the development of the software, which delivers improved quality software to the end users. The researchers have developed design patterns for user interface, e-commerce applications, mobile applications, text classification and so on. There are no design patterns for interne...
