    Unified complexity measure: a measure of complexity
    (Natl Acad Sciences india, 2010) Misra, Sanjay; Akman, Ibrahim; Computer Engineering
    This paper proposes a new complexity metric. The proposed metric is a unified complexity measure (UCM) and includes all major factors responsible for the complexity of a program including cognitive aspects. The applicability of the measure is evaluated through empirical, theoretical and practical validation processes. The test cases and comparative study prove its soundness and robustness.

    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 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.

    The Impact of Cognitive and Socio-Demographic Factors at Meetings During Software Development Process
    (Univ Osijek, Tech Fac, 2011) Akman, Ibrahim; Misra, Sanjay; Altindag, Tugba; Computer Engineering
    Most of the important decisions are taken at team meetings during software development process (SDP) and the way of thinking of project leader plays an important role in achieving quality objectives at these team meetings. Considering this important issue, this paper investigates the impact of cognitive and socio-demographic factors on manager's simple thinking style towards improving the quality of team meetings in SDP. We have performed experimentations among Information and Communication Technologies' (ICT) senior professionals and managers from government and private sector organizations for this purpose. The hypotheses have been developed under different empirical categories and then statistical analysis techniques have been used to draw inferences. The results indicate that "type of team meetings", "project leader's cognitive characteristics" and "adoption of a cognitive model at team meetings" have statistically significant impact on manager's simple thinking in terms of improving productivity and contribution of team meetings.
