We introduce Virtual Leashing,1 a new technique for software protection and control. The leashing process removes small fragments of code, pervasive throughout the application, an...
Modern computer work stations provide thousands of applications that store data in >100.000 files on the file system of the underlying OS. To handle these files data process...

In this research, we investigate the role of common coupling in evolving software systems. It can be argued that most software developers understand that the use of global data has...
All software projects are experiments in the sense of the scientific method because the outcomes are not known in advance, theories and hypotheses may be tested in the project emp...
