The Function Point Method, estimation by analogy, and algorithmic modeling are three of the most commonly applied methods used to estimate the costs and worker hours neededfor a s...
We present a method for decomposing a hypergraph with certain regularities into smaller hypergraphs. By applying this to the set of all canonical covers of a given set of functiona...
The problem of designing suitable conceptual modeling languages for system engineering is far from being solved. In the past years, some works have proposed the use of foundational...
Intelligent autonomous robots and multiagent systems, having different skills and capabilities for specific subtasks, have the potential to solve problems more efficiently and eff...
—We conducted a long-term experiment to compare the costs and benefits of several different software inspection methods. These methods were applied by professional developers to ...
