In this paper we present a new perspective on the problem of complexity in software, using sound mathematical concepts from information theory such as Shannon’s Entropy [31]. We...
We consider empirical evaluation of the availability of the deployed software. Evaluation of real systems is more realistic, more accurate, and provides higher level of confidenc...
Real production code contains lots of knowledge—on the domain, on the architecture, and on the environment. How can we leverage this knowledge in new projects? Using a novel lig...

E-learning materials development is typically acknowledged as an expensive, complicated, and lengthy process, often producing materials that are of low quality and difficult to ad...
Effort distribution by phase or activity is an important but often overlooked aspect compared to other steps in the cost estimation process. Poor effort allocation is among the ma...
