One of the challenging research problems in validating a software engineering methodology (SEM), and a part of its validation process, is to answer “How to fairly collect, presen...
Our activities in software engineering typically fall into one of three categories, (1) to invent new phenomena, (2) to understand existing phenomena, and (3) to facilitate inspir...
