2. 1. Exploring Software Cost Estimation Inaccuracy

   Author : Ana Magazinius; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; organizational politics; estimation inhibitors; project management; software cost and effort estimation; learning in organizations; informal use of estimates;

   Abstract : The inaccuracy of software cost estimates has for long been a source of frustration to software practitioners and cost estimation researchers. Despite huge efforts to improve this important practice, estimation accuracy is still low. This thesis uses empirical and theoretical evidence to investigate why this problem persists. READ MORE

4. 2. The Core of Aerial Robotic Workers : Generalized Modeling, Estimation, and Control

   Author : Emil Fresk; George Nikolakopoulos; Thomas Gustafsson; Ming Cao; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aerial robotics; generalized modeling; generalized estimation; generalized control; Reglerteknik; Control Engineering;

   Abstract : In this thesis we are going to explore what the operational core, both mathematically and algorithmically, of an Aerial Robotic Worker consists of, in order to estimate its egomotion and parameters, and adaptively control the aerial vehicle. Moreover, the aim of this thesis is to be a condensed reference for the corresponding areas of aerial robotics, in order to provide a stable and complete foundation on which one can continue research on.

   Abstract : In recent decades, Rwanda has been affected by the loss and fragmentation of natural habitats for native species of animals and plants. As a consequence, landscape connectivity—i.e. READ MORE

6. 4. Towards a Framework for Fault and Failure Prediction and Estimation

   Author : Hanna Scott; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : In software companies today we see a trend of changing development processes, as well as test processes, in order to reduce the number of faults in their software; and by reducing the number of faults, reducing the number of failures. It is hard to know if a change to a process has a positive or negative effect on the faults and failures of the software. READ MORE

7. 5. Enterprise Systems Modifiability Analysis : An Enterprise Architecture Modeling Approach for Decision Making

   Author : Robert Lagerström; Pontus Johnson; Marc Lankhorst; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Enterprise Architecture; Software System Modifiability; Decision Making; Metamodeling; Enterprise Architecture Analysis; Software Change Cost Estimation; Other information technology; Övrig informationsteknik;

   Abstract : Contemporary enterprises depend to great extent on software systems. During the past decades the number of systems has been constantly increasing and these systems have become more integrated with one another. This has lead to a growing complexity in managing software systems and their environment. READ MORE
