An effort prediction model for data-centred fourth-generation-language software development

van Koten, Chikako (Discussion PaperThesis, 2003)

Accurate effort prediction is often an important factor for successful software development. However, the diversity of software development tools observed today has resulted in a situation where existing effort prediction ...
Early experiences in measuring multimedia systems development effort

Fletcher, Tim; MacDonell, Stephen; Wong, B L William (Discussion Paper, 1996)

The development of multimedia information systems must be managed and controlled just as it is for other generic system types. This paper proposes an approach for assessing multimedia component and system characteristics ...
Applications of fuzzy logic to software metric models for development effort estimation

Gray, Andrew; MacDonell, Stephen (Discussion Paper, 1997)

Software metrics are measurements of the software development process and product that can be used as variables (both dependent and independent) in models for project management. The most common types of these models are ...
Measurement of database systems: an empirical study

MacDonell, Stephen; Shepperd, Martin; Sallis, Philip (Discussion Paper, 1996)

There is comparatively little work, other than function points, that tackles the problem of building prediction systems for software that is dominated by data considerations, in particular systems developed using 4GLs. We ...
FULSOME: Fuzzy logic for software metric practitioners and researchers

MacDonell, Stephen; Gray, Andrew; Calvert, James (Discussion Paper, 1999)

There has been increasing interest in recent times for using fuzzy logic techniques to represent software metric models, especially those predicting development effort. The use of fuzzy logic for this application area ...
