Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Complexity Metrics for Cascading Style Sheets(Springer-verlag Berlin, 2012) Adewumi, Adewole; Misra, Sanjay; Ikhu-Omoregbe, NicholasWeb applications are becoming important for small and large companies since they are integrated with their business strategies. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) however are an integral part of contemporary Web applications that are perceived as complex by users and this result in hampering its widespread adoption. The factors responsible for CSS complexity include size, variety in its rule block structures, rule block reuse, cohesion and attribute definition in rule blocks. In this paper, we have proposed relevant metric for each of the complexity factors. The proposed metrics are validated through a practical framework. The outcome shows that the proposed metrics satisfy most of the parameters required by the practical framework hence establishing them as well structured.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 18Fosses: Framework for Open-Source Software Evaluation and Selection(Wiley, 2019) Adewumi, Adewole; Misra, Sanjay; Omoregbe, Nicholas; Fernandez Sanz, LuisA plethora of approaches exists for the evaluation and selection of open-source software (OSS) in the literature. However, these approaches are hardly ever used in practice for the following reasons: first, the lack of a situational-based procedure to define the evaluation criteria for OSS given its varied and dynamic nature; second, the inability of existing evaluation techniques, such as the analytic hierarchy process, to cope well with uncertainty factors, thus producing misleading results that affect the quality of decisions made; and third, a significant number of existing approaches require the prototyping of alternatives being considered in order to facilitate evaluation and decision-making. This study addresses the aforementioned challenges by evolving a process framework for evaluating and selecting OSS. The proposed framework is validated by applying it to a case study. In addition, expert opinion was elicited via questionnaires from 10 experts, and overall feedback suggests that 80% of them are willing to adopt the approach.
