How face the top MDE adoption problems

Model Driven Engineering (MDE) refers to the creation and manipulation of models in the end-to-end application lifecycle. When adopting a model-based development approach many challenges arise, some of these are related to the immaturity of the methods and tools that support this paradigm. This paper presents an exploratory case study developed to analyze how the renowned MDE technology solutions contribute to face the adoption problems. The case study consisted of developing a Web application for an incident management process based on ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) using tools from three different MDE approximations: MDA, MDSD, and BPM. As a result of our study, we suggest different strategies to help practitioners face the top MDE adoption problems.

ESTUDIO DE MEDICIÓN DE CALIDAD EN UN MERCADO FRACTURADO Y EN COMPETENCIALa calidad percibida y objetiva en el sector eléctrico canario

The objective of the investigation is to expose the results obtained conclusion of studies with the perceived quality and the quality objective. This data have been done a detailed study of its quantitative importance and their behavior during two consecutive years, as well as make decisions oriented to improving those indicators of worse rating or valuation.

An empirical study of application of PSP methodology with students of a Systems Technology program with different levels of training

It seeks to determine the feasibility and appropriateness of applying the first level of Personal Software Process in Systems Technology program with emphasis on software development, in order to develop in the students, basic and technical skills in Project Management and Quality. It was designed and implemented a pilot test for four groups of different levels of training. Each group performed two individual practices, according to their level of training, from which they collected some data that showed the learning outcomes. The main findings are: (a) the opening of freshman students to the application of PSP, in contrast to the resistance of students from last semester to the application of PSP, (b) the complexity of the tool in time and defects recording that generates more work to students and divert their attention from the technical work; (c) positive relationship between final product quality and adoption of PSP.

Integrating non-functional security services in ADORE using multiple views modelling approaches

In this paper we propose the use of multi-view modeling approaches for managing the integration of conceptual artifacts.We propose the integration of behavioral and contextual approaches driven by aspects and models, in order to standardize and integrate behaviors derived from security requirements and functional specifications. Our goal is to build generic aspectual behaviors derived from security specifications and integrate them into models of business process workflows, using the Separation of Concerns principles. A Context is defined in terms of functional features and standards of the underlying services referenced by models. We use a multiple-view approach for modeling a concern derived from security specifications; posteriorly this concern is woven into a business process workflow, using aspectual composition principles, without mayor modifications to workflow itself.

Supporting Instructional Software Engineering Activities Using CODILA: Some Latin American Experiences

Computer science students must be able to support the global software development phenomena; therefore they should enhance their teamwork, communication, negotiation, leadership and collaboration skills. It pushes the educational institutions to rethink the way in which they are transferring the soft skills, e.g. collaboration capabilities, to the new software engineers. Advances in developing platforms, wideband communications, global markets, technological trends and outsourcing promote the conception of a global software engineering. Trying to help address this issue, this paper describes the results of two experiences where a CODILA (Collaborative and Distributed Learning Activity) was used to solve a software engineering problem in a distributed way. These experiences involved students and instructors of eight Latin American universities. We have measured the development of collaboration skills and satisfaction level of computer science students participating in these distributed collaborative practices, and the obtained results are highly encouraging.
