Reuse: Can it Deliver Competitive Performance?
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper establishes the importance of competitive performance for software firms and highlights the potential of reusability in increasing competitive performance. The importance of reusability is discussed by examining its effect on three different software process dimensions flexibility, productivity and predictability. From the literature, a research model is developed and used as the basis of a survey. The survey findings provide support for the relationship between reusability and some of the software process dimensions. The relationship between one of the software process dimensions and market responsiveness, a dimension of competitive performance is also supported.

متن کاملDesign of IIR Digital Filter using Modified Chaotic Orthogonal Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (RESEARCH NOTE)
There are two types of digital filters including Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) and Finite Impulse Response (FIR). IIR filters attract more attention as they can decrease the filter order significantly compared to FIR filters. Owing to multi-modal error surface, simple powerful optimization techniques should be utilized in designing IIR digital filters to avoid local minimum. Imperialist compe...
