The main challenges during global software development projects are related to the lack of face-to-face communication. Since stakeholders satisfaction is crucial as a factor that can infl uence a team performance, we ha...

Object-oriented software development process, such as the Unified Process [Jacobson 99], Catalysis [D´Souza 98] and Fusion [Coleman 94] among others, is a set of activities needed to transform user’s requirements into...

In order to manage projects efficiently, agile methodologies for software development tools that improve production processes have emerged. This paper discusses the adaptation and implementation of the SCRUM methodology ...

A large number of software development projects in Latin- American countries are small-size, poorly defined and time pressured. These projects usually involve under qualified people. Provided that well-known software dev...

The following document, presents and analyzes the Risks Analysis in the whole software development life cycle, framed like one of the recommended practices for secure software development. It present and compare a set of...

The goal of this article is to present the first results of a study looking forward to propose a model of software development for a physically distributed environment (United States and Brazil). Thus, the objective is t...

In spite of years of research and development, formal structured estimation of time and effort required to develop a Management Information System (MIS) is still an open problem. Usual estimation techniques applied by no...

This paper presents the Adesso, a computational environment for the development of scientific software. The Adesso environment leverages the reusable software component programming model to support the development and in...

Software tools processing partially common set of data should share an understanding of what these data mean. Since ontologies have been used to express formally a shared understanding of information, we argue that they ...

The Bioconductor project is an initiative for the collaborative creation of extensible software for computational biology and bioinformatics. The goals of the project include: fostering collaborative development and wide...

The COMPETISOFT project, in which the authors of this paper participated (in the framework of the Ibero-American cooperation generated by CyTED), proposes solutions for processes and products quality assurance, consideri...

In the Distributed Software Development (DSD) is fundamental the use of methodologies, techniques and tools to support the communication and help teams physically distributed in the activities accomplishment. The adequat...

This paper presents a pilot study that raised the estimate of functional size in the very early stages of software development. The goal is to find a relationship between some measures of artifacts produced in the Requir...

Robots have become usual collaborators in our daily life. While robotic systems grow to be more and more complex, the need to engineering their software development process grows as well. Traditional approaches that are ...

In these days most robotic systems tend to be complex to maintain and reuse because existing frameworks are based mainly on code-driven approaches. This means the software development process is reduced to the implementa...

This book is the result of a research project called EU-TeachPaaS, funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ programme (2020-1-ES01-KA226-HE-095035). EU-TeachPaaS complies with the priority area “Innovative pra...

Globalization and new technologies with their breakneck competitiveness and speed of doing business have driven the development of e-commerce, changing the way products are sold and bought today. The new digital era in w...

Este artículo reporta el trabajo de investigación realizado en base a datos extraídos de la Encuesta Anual realizada por la CESSI durante el año 2007 entre organizaciones dedicadas al desarrollo de Software en Argent...

In 21st century, convergences of technologies and services in heterogeneous environment have contributed multi-traffic. This scenario will affect computer network on learning system in higher educational Institutes. Impl...

As a contribution to consider software projects to be risk investments, it is important the full standardization of either the planning methodology (as a subset of project management methodology) and the effort estimatio...

Los robots se han convertido en colaboradores habituales de nuestra vida diaria. Los sistemas robóticos son cada vez más complejos y, como consecuencia, crece la necesidad de aplicar nuevas técnicas ingenieriles a su ...

In the software world portability means power. The more operating environments you can support out of the same code tree means more potential users for your software. If done right, additional platforms can be supported ...

Aspect-Oriented Software Development is an approach which supports the modularisation of crosscutting concerns through the development phases of an application. One of the limitations in the main approaches to AOSD is th...

The Unified Modelling Language (UML) has become a defacto standard for software development practitioners. There are several tools that help the use of UML. Users of those tools must evaluate and compare different versio...
