چکیده
Process improvement in a large-scale industrial environment is a challenge for numerous reasons. Besides others it is difficult to convince and motivate a critical mass of the staff and it is particularly expensive to train a large number of developers and managers. Established Software Configuration Management (SCM) practices pave the way to improve in a more efficient “bottom-up fashion” by processes based on SCM concepts. This paper describes the reasoning that justifies bottom-up process improvement based on SCM and presents our practical experiences with SCM-based process improvement in a large scale industrial environ-

متن کاملA Compromise Decision-making Model for Multi-objective Large-scale Programming Problems with a Block Angular Structure under Uncertainty
This paper proposes a compromise model, based on the technique for order preference through similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS) methodology, to solve the multi-objective large-scale linear programming (MOLSLP) problems with block angular structure involving fuzzy parameters. The problem involves fuzzy parameters in the objective functions and constraints. This compromise programming method is ba...
