Face à un problème d’informatisation, de nombreuses décisions doivent être prises pour la mise en œuvre d’une solution. La difficulté réside dans la sélection et le choix de la « meilleure » solution à chaque stade du processus de développement. Le processus d’informatisation peut être analysé comme un nœud de tâches. Ces tâches consistent à sélectionner et développer des solutions logicielles ...

Two aspects of the selection and evaluation of software packages are reviewed: the strategy for evaluation and selection, and criteria that might be applied in selection. The evaluation and selection of a software package should be approached as a project. Appropriate strategies for the selection and evaluation of software packages can be based on information systems methodologies. The main sta...

The selection of software metrics for building software quality prediction models is a search-based software engineering problem. An exhaustive search for such metrics is usually not feasible due to limited project resources, especially if the number of available metrics is large. Defect prediction models are necessary in aiding project managers for better utilizing valuable project resources f...

Context: A potentially important, but neglected, reason for effort overruns in software projects is related to selection bias. Selection bias–induced effort overruns occur when proposals are more likely to be accepted and lead to actual projects when based on effort estimates that are too low rather than on realistic estimates or estimates that are too high. The effect of this bias may be parti...

A planar maximum coverage location problem in a continuous formulation is considered. The demand zone and service areas are presented as geometric items of given shapes sizes. Each area associated with point (centroid), relative to which the corresponding item forms. task find position centroids provide an optimal for according criterion. mathematical model constructed nonlinear optimization pr...
