This paper uses network analysis (NA) to study task interactions in the product development process (PDP) at a small engineering company (Smallcomp). We examine Smallcomp's organizational changes by comparing its PDP network properties at two points in time. The analysis identifies patterns of centralization, role specialization, and formalized control. This validates themes from organizational behavior...
This paper presents a natural language-based approach for requirements specification of OLAP systems. In this approach, requirements are specified through a template representing the concepts of the decision making process. In addition, it provides for the acquisition of analytical queries written according to a linguistic pattern. This latter facilitates the automatic analysis of the queries without...
The main research object of the paper is investigation and proposal of a quality evaluation method suitable for the multiple criteria evaluation (decision making) and optimisation of Learning Object Repositories (LORs). Both LOR `internal quality' and `quality in use' evaluation criteria are analysed in the paper and incorporated into the comprehensive quality evaluation model. The LORs quality evaluation...
We present how a combination of static source code analysis, repository analysis, and visualization techniques has been used to effectively get and communicate insight in the development and project management problems of a large industrial code base. This study is an example of how visual analytics can be effectively applied to answer maintenance questions and support decision making in the software...
Models are an integral part of the discipline of Enterprise Architecture (EA). To stay relevant to management decision-making needs, the models need to be based upon suitable metamodels. These metamodels, in turn, need to be properly and continuously maintained. While there exists several methods for metamodel development and maintenance, these typically focus on internal metamodel qualities and metamodel...
