With increasing globalization and loosely-coupled business relations between different companies, the importance of information exchange standards is increasing. GS1’s Electronic Product Code Information Services (EPCIS) is currently one of the main standards proposed for interorganizational data exchange for trace and track purposes in the supply chain. However, some parts of the EPCIS framewo...

Implementing software product lines is a challenging task. Depending on the implementation technique the code that realizes a feature is often scattered across multiple code units. This way it becomes difficult to trace features in source code which hinders maintenance and evolution. While previous effort on visualization technologies in software product lines has focused mainly on the feature ...

Performance measurement is a key issue when a company is designing new strategies to improve resource allocation. This paper offers a new methodology inspired by classic importance–performance analysis (IPA) that provides a global index of importance versus performance for firms. This index compares two rankings of the same set of features regarding importance and performance, taking into accou...

This paper highlights the common pitfalls of overcomplicating the software architecture, development and delivery process by examining two enterprise level web application products built using Microsoft.Net framework. The aim of this paper is to identify, discuss and analyze architectural, development and deployment issues and learn lessons using real world examples from the chosen software pro...

Product-line development is a modern approach in software engineering, designated for saving efforts in development of product families by means of controlled assets reuse starting with architecture and up to source code. In this paper a case study of the generationbased product-line, i.e. a product-line, which development is managed via high-level formal models and the source code is produced ...
