Theses Originality: An Initial Effort to Examine Students’ Final Projects

An Improved COCOMO based Model to Estimate the Effort of Software Projects

One of important aspects of software projects is estimating the cost and time required to develop projects. Nowadays, this issue has become one of the key concerns of project managers. Accurate estimation of essential effort to produce and develop software is heavily effective on success or failure of software projects and it is highly regarded as a vital factor. Failure to achieve convincing a...

Final Projects

Instructions: In the final project you will apply the numerical methods developed in the class to a problem in finance or physics and engineering. For your assigned project you are to write a report which answers each of the stated questions. For the numerical solutions, you are to give the numerical results in the form of an appropriate table or list. All codes should be written in Matlab/Octa...

An Investigation of the Relationship between Initial and Final Programming Effort Estimates

Using Action Research Projects to Examine Teacher Technology Integration Practices

This study examined the technology integration practices of teachers involved in a statewide initiative via one cycle of action research. It differs from other studies of teacher technology integration practices because it simultaneously involved and provided direct benefits to teachers and researchers. The study used thematic analysis to provide a macro-level view of the technology integration...

Toward an effort estimation model for software projects integrating risk

According to a study of The Standish Group International, 44% of software projects cost more and last longer than expected. More accurate the effort estimation is; the better the enterprise gets organized and the more the software project respects the commitments on budget, time and quality. Enhancing the accuracy of effort estimation remains an ongoing challenge to software professionals. Seve...
