In global software development (GSD) projects, distributed teams collaborate to deliver high-quality software. Project managers need to control these development projects, which in...
Effective methods for metrics definition are of particular importance, as measurement mechanisms are indispensable in virtually any engineering discipline. The paper describes how ...
Hybrid networks are networks capable of switching data at multiple levels (optical and IP packet level) by means of multi-service optical switches. As a result of that, huge flows...
