This paper describes the work currently being undertaken to progress ISO/IEC TR 15504 to the status of a full International Standard, and outlines the changes in design that are to be incorporated in the revision. It describes the inputs for the design decisions that were taken; identifies the fundamental changes in the architecture of the Standard; and briefly describes the current status of t...

Information technology and the environment have a relationship until then signaled by the effects caused by excessive energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and the e-waste. In our paper we present the GreenRM reference model for sustainable software development. We focus on the model structure definition and the benefits identified with its implementation. We also present a comparison be...

The spread of the interest and the need for process reference models, specifically for small and medium software development organizations, has been a catalyst for generating ISO/IEC 29110 Software Engineering — Lifecycle profiles for Very Small Entities. Based on the Mexican standard NMX-I-059-NYCE-2005, better known as MoProSoft, ISO/IEC 29110 is the first international standard specifically ...

This paper presents an overview of a pilot implementation of the ISO/IEC 29110 standard, with a group of very small software development companies based in Ireland. This paper may serve as guidance for both researchers and practitioners wishing to understand the issues of process standards adoption by very small companies and ISO/IEC 29110 in particular.

BACKGROUND Major gender-based differences in the incidence of ventricular tachyarrhythmia after myocardial infarction have been shown in humans. Although the underlying mechanisms are unclear, earlier studies suggest that estrogen receptor-mediated effects play a major role in this process. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined the effect of estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) and estrogen receptor b...
