A consistent way to measure the elements that go into computing software productivity is deÞned. Software productivity metrics terminology are given to ensure an understanding of measurement data for both source code and document production. Although this standard prescribes measurements to characterize the software process, it does not establish software productivity norms, nor does it recomme...

To stay ahead in competition, software organizations have to deliver required functionality consistently guaranteed with high quality. The quality expectations of customers at purchase time from the software is the major reason of emergent attention of software organizations to implement quality management in software development. Nowadays, use of Component Based Software Development (CBSD) app...

In June 1989, the JTC1 initiated the development of an International Standard, ISO/IEC 12207 [1], on software life cycle processes to fill a critical need. Since the "cottage" industry era of the late 1970's, software has been establishing itself as an integral part of many scientific and business disciplines. However, environments for developing and managing software have been proliferating fo...

The ability to support multiple channels of different communication standards, in the available bandwidth, is of importance in modern software defined radio (SDR) receivers. An SDR receiver typically employs a channelizer to extract multiple narrowband channels from the received wideband signal using digital filter banks. Since the filter bank channelizer is placed immediately after the analog-...

XML is now becoming an industry standard for data description and exchange. Despite this there are still some questions about how or if this technology can be useful in High Energy Physics software development and data analysis. This paper aims to answer these questions by demonstrating how XML is used in the IceCube software development system, data handling and analysis. It does this by rst s...
