Strategic Outsourcing of Software Engineering Activities
Organizations have to ensure that their software engineering SE activities are strategically oriented and are adding real value. SE activities are equally important during creation, maintenance and end-of-life phases of an IT solution. Strategic outsourcing of SE activities add real value to the IT activities. Current outsourcing practices tend not...

Process-Oriented Analysis
The consistency in logic between a stationary, process-oriented description of the system and its state-oriented counterpart is an important requirement imposed by automated manufacturing systems. In the late 1980s, computer-aided software engineering tools were developed to work with complex software systems. With these, the focus was on immaterial flows such...

Teaching Software Engineering Using Simulation Games
A typical software engineering course fails to teach its students many of the skills needed in software development organizations. Because lectures and class projects alone cannot adequately teach about the software process, the paper develops a pair of games in which the process is simulated, giving students an opportunity to...

Dialog-Based Protocol: An Empirical Research Method For Cognitive Activities In Software Engineering
This paper proposes dialog-based protocol for the study of the cognitive activities during software development and evolution. The dialog-based protocol, derived from the idea of pair programming, is a significant alternative to the common think-aloud protocol, because it lessens the Hawthorne and placebo effects. Using screen-capturing and voice recording instead...

Quantifying Software Process Improvement
Many IT-metrics display large variation, time dependencies and noise, making it seemingly impossible to draw conclusions from them. Most of the software engineering literature proposed ways to stamp out this undesired behaviour, so that simple questions by management become simple to answer. In this paper the authors accepted that IT-metrics...
