Historical IT project data can be used for data modelling.  This is to enable forecasting of: project costs, schedules, defects and effort.

Show the main conclusions from the Cost per Function Point vs Rates studies carried out by LEDAmc. Quality performance vs productivity indicators in two real scenarios, are discussed.

This presentation explores cloud computing and cloud solutions. It provides: an overview of the implications and costs of migration to the cloud and it uses a case study to demonstrate migration of the ‘same’ capability in each of the three cloud solution scenarios.

The complex software applications controlling critical safety domains, such as transportation, raise increasing concerns about the ability of software development, verification and validation processes to avoid the presence of software faults in such applications.  An account of currently applied techniques and of open research challenges will be given.
