This paper focuses on providing a multi-dimensional view of success factors in agile software development projects. This paper starts by surveying the literature for the success factors of agile software development projects. Therefore, it surveys the success factors that were published in research papers, articles, and technical reports related to actual agile projects. For facilitating the un...

A model is presented that describes the range of possible curricula for degree courses in software engineering and other areas of computing. This model allows distinctions to be made between the different aspects of computing that are related to software engineering, notably computer science, computer hardware engineering and information systems. It also classifies the various topics that need ...

The present work discusses robust multivariate methods specifically designed for high dimensions. Their implementation in R is presented and their application is illustrated on examples. The first group are algorithms for outlier detection, already introduced elsewhere and implemented in other packages. The value added of the new package is that all methods follow the same design pattern and th...

The technological advances and innovations of imaging systems for orthodontic practice require a continuous update of their applications and assessments of their strength and weakness, as well as guidelines for utilization. Orthodontists are challenged by the increasing number and complexity of these systems and softwares. Accurate diagnostic imaging is an essential requirement for the optimal ...

Results: MDTs can represent project-level attributes as they change over time, provided these attributes, and the empirical data about them, can be located in time (an analytical requirement) and can be represented in terms of the simple geometrical structures of points, lines and planes (a graphical requirement). Changes in attributes are documented at the point in time at which the change occ...

Single-dimension Software Pipelining (SSP) has been proposed as an effective software pipelining technique for multidimensional loops [18]. However, the scheduling methods that actually produce the kernel code have not been published yet. Because of the multi-dimensional nature of SSP kernels, the scheduling problem is more complex and challenging than with modulo scheduling. The scheduler must...

Abstract: Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the Von-Mises-stress (VMS) distribution applied to the edentulous ridges from a Polyamide RPD (PRPD) with those from a Cobalt-Chrome RPD (CCRPD). Materials and Methods: A patient with mandibular Kennedy Class I, Mod I was selected. The patientchr(chr('39')39chr('39'))s CBCT was cut off at 1 mm sections from the axial dimension. ...
