In recent years, a number of business reasons have caused software development to become increasingly distributed. Remote development of software offers several advantages, but it is also fraught with challenges. In this paper, we report on our study of distributed software development that helped shape a research agenda for this field. Our study has identified four areas where important research questions need to be addressed to make distributed development more effective. These areas are: collaborative software tools, knowledge acquisition and management, testing in a distributed set-up and process and metrics issues. We present a brief summary of related research in each of these areas, and also outline open research issues.

Software development projects are subject to external and internal risks that cause delays, budget overrun and poor quality. Portfolio management can be used to alleviate this problem, as it pools resources together and allows for resource sharing among projects. Consequently, projects are more likely to succeed. However, portfolio management using only deadlines and the number of employees to improve probability of success is still confined. This paper proposes integrating portfolio management with COCOMO II that offers more management flexibility. Managers can adjust other resources, such as tools, staff capability, communication support, etc. to improve the project's success. The proposed method can also be applied despite limited historical data and expert judgment. In addition, this paper introduces time constraints into portfolio management without assuming unrealistic linearity between effort and time.

Open source development projects typically support an open bug repository to which both developers and users can report bugs. The reports that appear in this repository must be triaged to determine if the report is one which requires attention and if it is, which developer will be assigned the responsibility of resolving the report. Large open source developments are burdened by the rate at which new bug reports appear in the bug repository. In this paper, we present a semi-automated approach intended to ease one part of this process, the assignment of reports to a developer. Our approach applies a machine learning algorithm to the open bug repository to learn the kinds of reports each developer resolves. When a new report arrives, the classifier produced by the machine learning technique suggests a small number of developers suitable to resolve the report. With this approach, we have reached precision levels of 57% and 64% on the Eclipse and Firefox development projects respectively. We have also applied our approach to the gcc open source development with less positive results. We describe the conditions under which the approach is applicable and also report on the lessons we learned about applying machine learning to repositories used in open source development.

Effort and cost estimation is crucial in software management. Estimation of software size plays a key role in the estimation. Line of Code (LOC) is still a commonly used software size measure. Despite the fact that software sizing is well recognized as an important problem for more than two decades, there is still much problem in existing methods. Conceptual data model is widely used in the requirements analysis for information systems. It is also not difficult to construct conceptual data models in the early stage of developing information systems. Much characteristic of an information system is actually reflected from its conceptual data model. We explore into the use of conceptual data model for estimating LOC. This paper proposes a novel method for estimating LOC for an information system from its conceptual data model through the use of multiple linear regression model. We have validated the method through collecting samples from both the industry and open-source systems.

Many cases of adoption of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have been reported in the literature. Some of the adopted ERP systems fail to satisfy the customer's requirements, despite the high spending and substantial efforts that have been put into the adoption exercise. This is undoubtedly unsatisfactory. A way to avoid this problem is to adopt a well planned, managed, and controlled ERP procurement process. This paper describes our studies of three Chinese companies in Hong Kong which have adopted ERP systems. We report the experience of these companies, and discuss how the Chinese culture might have shaped the procurement practices in their ERP adoption exercises.

As software specifications for complex systems are practically never 100% complete and consistent, the recipient of the specification needs domain knowledge in order to decide which parts of the system are specified clearly and which parts are specified ambiguously and thus need inquiry to achieve a more detailed specification. In this paper we classify 16 different situations (states) of requirements communication and analyze, based on a state diagram, how a mature inquiry culture can help to initiate transitions from undesirable states into more desirable states. In a case study the inquiry practices of a very large software development organization are shown. Knowledge networks within the organization play an important role in building up a mature inquiry culture.

Web Applications (WA) are developed and maintained under tight schedules. Much similarity across WAs creates opportunities for cutting development cost and easing evolution via reuse. This tutorial shows a practical way to exploit similarity patterns - at architecture and code levels - to simplify the design of WAs, helping to meet the unique challenges of Web engineering.

Feature-Oriented Programming (FOP) decomposes complex software into features. Features are main abstractions in design and implementation. They reflect user requirements and incrementally refine one another. Although, features crosscut object-oriented architectures they fail to express all kinds of crosscutting concerns. This weakness is exactly the strength of aspects, the main abstraction mechanism of Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP). In this article we contribute a systematic evaluation and comparison of both paradigms, AOP and FOP, with focus on incremental software development. It reveals that aspects and features are not competing concepts. In fact AOP has several strengths to improve FOP in order to implement crosscutting featuresSymmetrically, the development model of FOP can aid AOP in implementing incremental designs. Consequently, we propose the architectural integration of aspects and features in order to profit from both paradigms. We introduce aspectual mixin layers (AMLs), an implementation approach that realizes this symbiosis. A subsequent evaluation and a case study reveal that AMLs improve the crosscutting modularity of features as well as aspects become well integrated into incremental development style.
