Abstract:

This project was done with the vision that it would simplify and improve outpatient treatment of substance abusers through a rehabilitation software program with 24-7 access availability. By developing an easy-to-use interface for out-patient substance abuse patients, they along with their counselors, administrators and insurance agencies, will be able to facilitate continuous communication during the course of a patient's treatment.

Abstract:

<p>Software is characterized by inevitable changes and increasing complexity, which in turn may lead to huge costs unless rigorously taking into account change accommodations. This is in particular true for long-lived systems. For such systems, there is a need to address evolvability explicitly during the entire lifecycle, carry out software evolution efficiently and reliably, and prolong the productive lifetime of the software systems.</p><p>In this thesis, we study evolution of software architecture and investigate ways to support this evolution.

Abstract:

Software engineering is a fundamentally collaborative activity, yet most tools that support software engineers are designed only for single users. There are many foreseen benefits in using tools that support real time collaboration between software engineers, such as avoiding conflicting concurrent changes to source files and determining the impact of program changes immediately. Unfortunately, it is difficult to develop non-trivial tools that support real time Collaborative Software Engineering (CSE). Accordingly, the few CSE tools that do exist have restricted capabilities.

Abstract:

This thesis addresses the general principles of computer software project management. The main objective is to aid perspective software project managers in dealing with the development and management of software projects. The definition of the classical software development life cycle is given. The components include system engineering, analysis, design, coding, testing, and maintenance. The thesis contains a description of the reasons why many software projects have cost overruns and late schedules. The variability of requirements and software complexity are two factors.

Abstract:

Two methods are proposed to find the maximum likelihood parameter estimates of a number of software reliability models. On the basis of the results from analysing 7 sets of real data, these methods are found to be both efficient and reliable. The simple approach of adapting software reliability predictions by Keiller and Littlewood (1984) can produce improved predictions, but at the same time, introduces a lot of internal noise into the adapted predictions. This is due to the fact that the adaptor is a joined-up function. An alternative adaptive procedure, which involves the parametric spline

Abstract:

It is well known that maintenance is the most expensive stage of the software life cycle. Most large real world software systems consist of a very large number of source code files. Important knowledge about different aspects of a software system is embedded in a rich set of implicit relationships among these files. Those relationships are partly reflected in system documentation at its different levels, but more often than not are never made explicit and become part of the expertise of system maintainers. Finding existing relations between source code components is a difficult task, especiall

One of the major challenges in computer science is to put programming on a firmer mathematical basis, in order to improve the correctness of computer programs.

Abstract:

The commercial success of software development depends on innovation [Nar93a]. However, conventional approaches inhibit the development of innovative products that embody novel concepts. This thesis argues that this limitation of conventional software development is largely due to its use of analytical artefacts, and that other activities, notably Empirical Modelling and product design, avoid the same limitation by using creative artefacts. Analytical artefacts promote the methodical representation of familiar subjects whereas creative artefacts promote the exploratory representation of novel

It is often desirable to change the network topology of a multiprocessor machine to suit a particular application.

Past efforts at implementing Load Spectrum Generation and Neuber Control have centered around minicomputers and analog circuits. The use of a personal computer to implement the tasks is presented. On implementation of the load Spectrum Generation software, the response of the Materials Testing System was investigated for distortion and attenuation. In particular, the effect of the resolution of the waveform on the test system response was noted. There was negligible attenuation for full scale frequencies of up to 20 Hz. Greater waveform resolution was required at lower frequencies than at high

Looking at software engineering from a historical perspective, we can see how software development methodologies have evolved over the past 50 years. Using the right software development methodology with the right settings has always been a challenge. Therefore, there has always been a need for empirical evidence about what worked well and what did not, and what factors affect the different variables of the development process. Probably the most noticeable change to software development methodology in the last 15 years has been the introduction of the word “agile”. As any area matures, there i
