ICEIS - A Semiotic Approach to Quality in Specifications of Software Measures
Enterprise Information Systems, 2009Co-Authors: Erki EessaarAbstract:Each Software Entity should have as high quality as possible in the context of limited resources. A specification of a Software quality measure is a kind of Software Entity. Existing studies about the evaluation of Software measures do not pay enough attention to the quality of specifications of measures. Semiotics has been used as a basis in order to evaluate the quality of different types of Software entities. In this paper, we propose a multidimensional, semiotic quality framework of specifications of Software quality measures. We apply this framework in order to evaluate the syntactic and semantic quality of two sets of specifications of database design measures. The evaluation shows that these specifications have some quality problems.

2016 4th International Conference in Software Engineering Research and Innovation (CONISOFT), 2016Co-Authors: Eréndira M. Jiménez-hernández, Hanna Oktaba, Frida Frida Díaz-barriga, Alan M. Revillagigedo-tulais, Mario Piattini, Sergio V. Flores-zarcoAbstract:In this article, a methodology to construct educational video games in Software engineering is presented. The methodology is an adaptation from the standard ISO/IEC 29110 [1]. Using the methodology, one educational video game named Alphaspot [2] was developed to facilitate the learning of the kernel Alphas of the Essence [3]. Some practitioners working at one Software Entity tested it.

Software Generic Measurement Framework Based on MDA
IEEE Latin America Transactions, 2010Co-Authors: Beatriz Mora, Félix García, Francisco Ruiz, Mario Piattini, Artur Boronat, Abel Gómez, José A. Carsí, Isidro RamosAbstract:Currently, in order to obtain high quality Software products it is necessary to carry out a good Software processes management in which measurement is a fundamental factor. Due to the great diversity of entities involved in Software measurement, a consistent framework to integrate the different entities in the measurement process is required. In this paper the Software Measurement Framework (SMF) is presented, which supports the measurement of any type of Software Entity through the metamodels which depict them. In this framework, any Software Entity in any domain could be measured with a common Software Measurement metamodel and by means of QVT transformations. This work explains the three fundamental elements of the Software Measurement Framework (conceptual architecture, technological aspects and method). These elements have all been adapted to the MDE paradigm and to MDA technology, taking advantage of their benefits within the field of Software measurement. Furthermore an example which illustrates the framework's application to a concrete domain is furthermore shown.

Managing Software process measurement: A metamodel-based approach
Information Sciences, 2007Co-Authors: Félix García, Francisco Ruiz, Manuel A. Serrano, José A. Cruz-lemus, Mario PiattiniAbstract:The evaluation of Software processes is nowadays a very important issue due to the growing interest of Software companies in the improvement of the productivity and quality of delivered products. Software measurement plays a fundamental role here. Given the great diversity of entities which are candidates for measurement in the Software process improvement context (process models, projects, resources, products) this measurement must be performed in a consistent and integrated way. This will facilitate the making of decisions in process improvement. In this paper, a proposal for the integrated management of the Software measurement is presented. The goal is to provide companies with a generic and flexible environment for Software measurement which facilitates and establishes the basis for a common and effective measurement process and which is not restricted to only one kind of Software Entity or to a single quality or evaluation model. In order to achieve this, the proposal adopts the Model Driven Engineering philosophy and provides: a metamodel for the definition of Software measurement models; a flexible method to measure any kind of Software Entity represented by its corresponding metamodel and GenMETRIC, which is the Software tool that supports the framework.

Hierarchical Optimization in Isogeometric Analysis : Application to Thermal Conduction
2010Co-Authors: Louis Blanchard, Régis Duvigneau, Bernard MourrainAbstract:A multi-level parametrization approach for a shape optimization problem is developed in the framework of Isogeometric Analysis for a thermal conduction problem. The Isogeometric Analysis approach proposed by T. Hughes, consists in integrating Finite Element Analysis (FEA) into conventional Computational Aided Design (CAD) tools using a single Software Entity. We propose two multi-levels parametrization strategies to improve the convergence rate of a thermal conduction optimization problem. Some numerical experiments are carried out using a two dimensional test-case, to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed strategies.

An Introduction to Isogeometric Analysis with Application to Thermal Conduction
2009Co-Authors: Régis DuvigneauAbstract:In this report, we present a new method, namely isogeometric analysis, proposed by T. Hughes and his collaborators, whose objective is to combine Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools and Finite-Element (FE) solvers into a single Software Entity. This consists in replacing grids by parametric surfaces and volumes to define the integration elements used in a variational formulation. This approach allows to define a computational domain that matches exactly the geometry of the problem, whatever the number of degrees of freedom. High-order, h- and p-adaptive schemes, as well as hierarchical solving strategies can be constructed. After presenting the method and comparing with classical finite-element approach, some numerical experiments are carried out using a thermal conduction test-case.
