    A Cognitive Evaluation for Meetings in Software Development Process
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2009) Misra, Sanjay; Akman, Ibrahim
    Software development; includes number of different type of meetings in the whole development process. The cognitive activities also play an important role in decision making activities in these meetings since they are carried out, by human being. In this paper, we evaluated the relevance of meetings in different phases of the software development process with reference to cognitive aspects.

    Measuring Complexity of Object Oriented Programs
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2008) Misra, Sanjay; Akman, Ibrahim
    In this paper, a metric for object oriented language is formulated and validated. On the contrary of the other metrics used for object oriented programming (OOPS), the proposed metric calculates the complexity of a class at method level and hence considers the internal architecture of the classes, subclasses and member functions. The proposed metric is evaluated against Weyuker's proposed set of measurement principles through examples and validated through experimentation, case study and comparative study with similar measures. The practical usefulness of the metric is evaluated by a practical framework.

    A New Complexity Metric Based on Cognitive Informatics
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2008) Misra, Sanjay; Akman, Ibrahim
    In this paper, a new complexity metric based on cognitive informatics is proposed for object oriented(OO) code. This is the single metric, which covers cognitive complexity of the OO system, method complexity and complexity due to inheritance together. The proposed metric was evaluated against Weyuker set of measurement principles. It was found that seven Weyuker properties are satisfied by this measure.

    A Multi-Paradigm Complexity Metric (mcm)
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2011) Misra, Sanjay; Akman, Ibrahim; Cafer, Ferid
    Huge amount of researches and software metrics have been proposed for procedural and object-oriented languages. However, there are only few metrics available in the literature related with multi-paradigm programming languages. In this paper, we propose a metric to evaluate the code written in multi-paradigm language. Our proposed metric can be used for most of the programming paradigms, including both procedural and object-oriented languages.

    A unique complexity metric
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2008) Misra, Sanjay; Akman, Ibrahim
    Metrics, in general, are defined as "a quantitative measure of the degree to which a system, component, or process possesses a given attribute". Complexity metrics are used to predict critical information about reliability and maintainability of software systems. This paper proposes complexity metric, which includes all major factors responsible for complexity. We validated our metric against the principles of measurement theory since the measurement theory has been proposed and extensively used in the literature as a means to evaluate the software engineering metrics. The scale of the metric is investigated through Extensive structure. It is found that the proposed measure is on ratio scale. The applicability of the proposed measure is tested through test cases and comparative study.

    A Model for Measuring Cognitive Complexity of Software
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2008) Misra, Sanjay; Akman, Ibrahim
    This paper proposes a model for calculating cognitive complexity of a code. This model considers all major factors responsible for (cognitive) complexity. The practical applicability of the measure is evaluated through experimentation, test cases and comparative study.
