A Field Study of the Software Design Process for Large Systems

by Bill Curtis, Herb Krasner, Neil Iscoe - Communications of the ACM , 1988
"... The problems of designing large software systems were studied through interviewing personnel from 17 large projects. A layered behavioral model is used to analyze how three lgf these problems-the thin spread of application domain knowledge, fluctuating and conflicting requirements, and communication ..."

, and communication bottlenecks and breakdowns-affected software productivity and quality through their impact on cognitive, social, and organizational processes.

Granularity in software product lines

by Christian Kästner, et al. , 2008
"... Building software product lines (SPLs) with features is a challenging task. Many SPL implementations support features with coarse granularity – e.g., the ability to add and wrap entire methods. However, fine-grained extensions, like adding a statement in the middle of a method, either require intric ..."

Improving Software Productivity

by Barry W. Boehm - Computer , 1987
"... Computer hardware productivity continues to increase by leaps and bounds, while software productivity seems to be barely holding its own. Central processing units, random access memories, and mass memories improve their price-performance ratios by orders of magnitude per decade, while software proje ..."

On the Notion of Variability in Software Product Lines

by Jilles van Gurp, Jan Bosch, Mikael Svahnberg - In Proceedings of the Working IEEE/IFIP Conference on Software Architecture (WICSA’01 , 2001
"... In this paper, we discuss the notion of variability. We have experienced that this concept has so far been underdefined. Although, we have observed that variability techniques become increasingly important. A clear indication of this trend is the recent emergence of software product lines. Software ..."

No Silver Bullet: Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering

by Frederick P. Brooks - IEEE Computer , 1987
"... Of all the monsters that fill the nightmares of our folklore, none terrify more than werewolves, because they transform unexpectedly from the familiar into horrors. For these, one seeks bullets of silver that can magically lay them to rest. The familiar software project, at least as seen by the nont ..."

by the nontechnical manager, has something of this character; it is usually innocent and straightforward, but is capable of becoming a monster of missed schedules, blown budgets, and flawed products. So we hear desperate cries for a silver bullet--something to make software costs drop as rapidly as computer hardware

Automatically tuned linear algebra software

by R. Clint Whaley, Jack J. Dongarra - CONFERENCE ON HIGH PERFORMANCE NETWORKING AND COMPUTING , 1998
"... This paper describes an approach for the automatic generation and optimization of numerical software for processors with deep memory hierarchies and pipelined functional units. The production of such software for machines ranging from desktop workstations to embedded processors can be a tedious and ..."

A case study of open source software development: the Apache server

by Audris Mockus, Roy T. Fielding, James Herbsleb - In: Proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2000 , 2000
"... According to its proponents, open source style software development has the capacity to compete successfully, and perhaps in many cases displace, traditional commercial development methods. In order to begin investigating such claims, we examine the development process of a major open source applica ..."

"... What affects software productivity and how do we improve it? This report examines the current state of the art in software productivity measurement. In turn, it describes a framework for understanding software productivity, some fundamentals of measurement, surveys empirical studies of software prod ..."
