Software process research deals with the methods and technologies used to assess, support, and improve software development activities. The field has grown up during the 80s to ad...
This paper provides a roadmap for software engineering. It identifies the principal research challenges being faced by the discipline and brings together the threads derived from ...
Software metrics as a subject area is over 30 years old, but it has barely penetrated into mainstream software engineering. A key reason for this is that most software metrics act...
This paper, in the first chapter summarizes the state of the art in SCM, showing the evolution along the last 25 years. Chapter 2 shows the current issues and current research wor...
