Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 3A Multi-Paradigm Complexity Metric (mcm)(2011) Misra,S.; Akman,I.; Cafer,F.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. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 9A unique complexity metric(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2008) Misra,S.; Akman,I.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. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Conference Object A unique complexity metric(2008) Misra,S.; Akman,I.Metrics, in general, are defined as "a quantitative measure of the degree to which a system, component, or process possesses a given attribute".

Most services are provided through traditional paper and pen system. This system causes delays in service provision time and work over-load on ICS staff which translates into a high cost of service provision. E-government applications represent an opportunity to automate governmental services while improving both effectiveness and efficiency. This work presents the approach taken to determine the priority to automate ICS service from the perspective of service beneficiaries. The research is yet to be completed, however, up to this point we developed four different questionnaire-sets in order to collect the requirements from the shareholders, verified them and implemented the actual survey in the field. The experience gained throughout these steps and the future analysis plan is reported in this paper. © 2017 IEEE.Conference Object A Multi-Paradigm Complexity Metric (mcm)(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2011) Misra,S.; Akman,I.; Cafer,F.Huge amount of researches and software metrics have been proposed for procedural and object-oriented languages.

There are various models like Capability Maturity Model (CMM), ISO, etc. available to measure process improvement. However management role is vital for effective process improvement implementation strategy. This paper briefly presents an assessment of all the factors which, if taken care by the management effectively, can ensure success in information system process improvement and proposes a general 2-stage framework for process improvement. The framework presents stochastic simulation model which is tailored to the dynamics of software projects, and which takes management plan and individual processes as input to show how simulation can be used to achieve effective project management.Conference Object Measuring Complexity of Object Oriented Programs(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2008) Misra,S.; Akman,I.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. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Conference Object A New Complexity Metric Based on Cognitive Informatics(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2008) Misra,S.; Akman,I.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. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 10A Model for Measuring Cognitive Complexity of Software(Springer Verlag, 2008) Misra,S.; Akman,I.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. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 5A new complexity metric based on cognitive informatics(2008) Misra,S.; Akman,I.In this paper, a new complexity metric based on cognitive informatics is proposed for object oriented(OO) code.
