Software Development has never been a perfect process and software projects have often failed or face the challenges because of cost overrun, poor quality, incomplete assessment of requirements, and delays in schedule. Therefore, the biggest issue of software development management is to improve the development process to avoid or minimize the levels of these pitfalls. That’s why developers cre...

With the expansion of IP networks, a diversity of network management systems have been developed in order to support network operations. Based on the common functionalities of these network management systems, a platform for network management systems was developed by KT, on which future network management systems could be developed on the platform. However, in the process of the development, i...

Software agents are increasingly being used as building blocks of complex software systems. In this paper we discuss the benefits and the drawbacks that a developer faces when choosing agents for the realization of a new system, instead of a more mature technology such as software components. In particular, we first compare agents to components and then highlight the differences and similaritie...

Software engineering is an engineering approach for software development. In order to develop large software several phases has to be followed by the developer to achieve good quality software; cost effectively. System Design is the most important activity in software development which reflects reusability. System Design specifies what a new or modified system is going to do. To achieve good qu...

The abnormal increase in the number of applications available for download in Android markets is a good indication that they are being reused. However, little is known about their real reusability potential. A considerable amount of these applications is reported as having a poor quality or being malicious. Hence, in this paper, an approach to measure the reusability potential of classes in And...

The development of a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) at European level is strategic to answer the needs of environmental management requested by the European, national and local policies. Several European projects and initiatives aim to share, integrate and make accessible large amount of environmental data in order to overcome crossborder/language/cultural barriers. To this purpose, environm...

Software reuse is the process of implementing or updating software systems using existing software assets. Anything that is produced from a software development effort can potentially be reused. In this study, the performance of the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) is evaluated for Reusability Prediction of Function based Software systems. Here, the metric ba...

Due to the extensive use of XML markup language in the education domain, there has been a great interest on proposing rich data models (DTDs or recently XMLSchemas) that reflects course semantics. The existence of such rich schemas has made a large amount of heterogeneously structured courses widely available in distributed repositories. In this framework, sharing and reusing structured courses...

Where active learning with uncertainty sampling is used to generate training sets for classification applications, it is sensible to use the same type of classifier to select the most informative training examples as the type of classifier that will be used in the final classification application. There are scenarios, however, where this might not be possible, for example due to computational c...

The deployment of a software product requires considerable amount of time and effort. In order to increase the productivity of the software products, reusability strategies were proposed in the literature. However effective reuse is still a challenging issue. This paper presents a framework studio for effective components reusability which provides the selection of components from framework stu...
