Performance evaluation of tracking methods includes methods of relative and absolute performance. Absolute tracking performance is the robust end result presented to a user which determines the product solution for real world analysis. However, to achieve robust performance, the tracking method is subject to the sensor data, filtering performance, and associated models, which requires relative performance...
Change impact must be accounted for during effort estimation to provide for adequate decision making at the appropriate moment in the software lifecycle. Existing effort estimation approaches, like the Use Case Point method and the Constructive COst MOdeL, estimate the effort only if the change occurs at one level, for example when a new functionality is added (at functional level). However, they...
A cost cumulative progress curve (called S-curve) is often used as a basis for effective schedule control which is a key to the success of construction projects. In establishing a planned S-curve of a construction project, the cost of each scheduling activity must be determined. Furthermore, the contractual costs associated with the cost items should be fully distributed to all scheduling activities...
Trustworthy effort estimation for a software project remains one of the biggest challenges for developer. Software effort estimation is the initial phase between the client and the business enterprise. So the association begins with effort estimation. Trustworthiness increases accurate estimation. Organizations turned toward GSD because it benefits with shorter development cycle. This paper presents...
Application of neural networks for direct prediction of lateral-directional force and moments coefficients from the measured flight data of the research aircraft is proposed in this paper. Proposed model of neural networks appears to be a suitable practical approach to develop relationship between flight variables. This relationship eliminates the need of aerodynamic model as well as thrust model...
This paper discusses assessment of faculty performance. Based on the structure oriented evaluation model a corresponding methodology is presented. The advantage of this approach is that the evaluation is oriented towards the logical structure of evaluation goal whereby in contrast to linear evaluation models the use of weight factors can be avoided.
In a software development project, project management is indispensable, and effort estimation is one of the important factors on the management. To improve estimation accuracy, outliers are often removed from dataset used for estimation. However, the influence of the outliers to the estimation accuracy is not clear. In this study, we added outliers to dataset experimentally, to analyze the influence...
Most of network operation/management tasks such as traffic accounting, traffic engineering, and network design require an accurate and timely network Traffic Matrix (TM). A TM presents the network traffic volume between origin and destination (OD) nodes. Many network management methods assumed that an accurate traffic matrix is given by other network entities, but this is not true. To apply those...
To compare speed and accuracy of graphical data extraction using manual estimation and open source software.Data points from eligible graphs/figures published in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from 2009 to 2014 were extracted by two authors independently, both by manual estimation and with the Plot Digitizer, open source software. Corresponding authors of each RCT were contacted up to four times...
This paper presents a thorough analysis of energy consumption of a software HEVC decoder. The evaluation utilizes a framework developed herein specifically to estimate the energy consumption in all levels of cache hierarchies. Our framework is based on analytical models combined with memory profiling; tools. Energy analyses of several cache hierarchies executing HEVC decoding with different input...
Effective use of resources available on heterogeneous MPSoC platforms can only be achieved through careful resource allocation and scheduling. The diversity of processing and memory elements will manifest itself in the total time and resources required to perform a task or execute an application. Choosing the right platform element is the key and the first step is performance estimation. This paper...
Software Analytics is gaining momentum as aresult of involved empirical research in enhancing quality andproductivity of software engineering activities. There have beenrigorous research efforts in the areas of bug prediction and testingeffort prediction by making use of historical data. The problemof predicting bug fix times is an interesting problem with lotsof advantages to industry but there have...
The increasing density and complexity of modern microprocessors, which is driven by manufacturing technologies scaling, significantly affect their reliability. Reliability evaluation during the early design stages is a challenging process for microprocessor designers. Statistical fault-injection on microarchitecture simulators is commonly used, among other techniques, since it can deliver early and...
Planning Poker is a consensus-based technique mostly used for estimating effort or relative size of software development goals. This is applicable to estimate the size ofuser stories, developing releases and iteration plans. It is used generally with Scrum. Planning Poker has a lot of benefits, however, this method is not entirely efficient because the result is always based on the observation of...
In the actual competitive software industry, software development organizations need a better and formal estimation approaches in order to increase the success rate of software projects. However, currently the estimation approach typically employed in industry is the expert judgment ('experience-based'). Using measures and estimations that continue to be based on researchers' intuition does not contribute...
Software Estimation is an important part of every Software Engineers' skill set. At Stevens Institute of Technology, estimation has been taught as a core course on "Software Estimation and Metrics" in our Software Engineering Masters Program since 2001. Over the past few years, we have evolved a more experiential and engaging teaching style. This paper presents an experimental framework...
In this paper, methods of controlling of working hours and increasing its efficiency, means: formalized algorithm of software development project modified Gantt chart and software prototype for controlling working hours, are described.
Virtual RINEX (VR) is a common product for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) post-processing applications, useful if the distance between the rover and master is greater than 30 km. Many studies have been conducted in order to analyse the content of this kind of data, but few have proved the positioning performances obtainable in particular conditions. The VR is a synthetic file created from...
In software effort estimation lot of algorithmic and prediction methods are available. Even though the researches try to get a better effort estimation technique. Because it has a vital role in software engineering. Mostly, the industries use the expert's judgements for assessing the effort. The experts may use some methodologies for their references. So, still the algorithmic and prediction methods...
Accurate estimation of software costs is one of the key and most important activities in development of software projects. Uncertainty and intricacy of software systems has made it difficult to efficiently and effectively develop software and has led to software systems' tendency to new optimal techniques. Prediction of the required effort for developing software has benefited significant progression...
