A Statistical Approach for the Maximization of the Financial Benefits Yielded by a Large Set of MMFs and AEs
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article introduces a statistical approach for the maximization of the financial benefits yielded by software projects that have been broken down into a considerable number of minimum marketable features modules (MMFs) and architectural elements (AEs). As the statistical approach requires a polynomial computational effort to run and provides approximation solutions with an arbitrarily chosen degree of confidence, it allows managers and developers to be more confident about the rightness of the decisions they make with little additional computational effort. ∗ corresponding author 1148 A.

Optimizing Framework Release Plans Using the Incremental Funding Method
This paper presents a method for the definition of the optimal release plan of framework features. The method is based on the economic benefits brought by the use of frameworks as platforms for the development of specific business applications. In the method, framework components (both frozen and hot spots) of new releases are considered to be Architectural Elements (AEs), whilst modules compos...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between the Scope of Essential Health Benefits and Statutory Financing: An International Comparison Across Eight European Countries
Background Both rising healthcare costs and the global financial crisis have fueled a search for policy tools in order to avoid unsustainable future financing of essential health benefits. The scope of essential health benefits (the range of services covered) and depth of coverage (the proportion of costs of the covered benefits that is covered publicly) are corresponding variables in determini...
متن کاملOptimum Location of Outrigger-belt Truss in Tall Buildings Based on Maximization of the Belt Truss Strain Energy
In this paper, based on maximizing the outrigger-belt truss system’s strain energy, a methodology for determining the optimum location of an outrigger-belt truss system is presented. Tall building structures with combined systems of framed tube, shear core and outrigger-belt truss system’s are modeled using continuum approach. In this approach, the framed tube system is modeled as a cantilevere...
متن کاملRobust Method for E-Maximization and Hierarchical Clustering of Image Classification
We developed a new semi-supervised EM-like algorithm that is given the set of objects present in eachtraining image, but does not know which regions correspond to which objects. We have tested thealgorithm on a dataset of 860 hand-labeled color images using only color and texture features, and theresults show that our EM variant is able to break the symmetry in the initial solution. We compared...
متن کاملBank efficiency evaluation using a neural network-DEA method
In the present time, evaluating the performance of banks is one of the important subjects for societies and the bank managers who want to expand the scope of their operation. One of the non-parametric approaches for evaluating efficiency is data envelopment analysis(DEA). By a mathematical programming model, DEA provides an estimation of efficiency surfaces. A major problem faced by DEA is that...
