    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.

    Plagiarism Detection in Software Using Efficient String Matching
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2012) Pandey, Kusum Lata; Agarwal, Suneeta; Misra, Sanjay; Prasad, Rajesh
    String matching refers to the problem of finding occurrence(s) of a pattern string within another string or body of a text. It plays a vital role in plagiarism detection in software codes, where it is required to identify similar program in a large populations. String matching has been used as a tool in a software metrics, which is used to measure the quality of software development process. In the recent years, many algorithms exist for solving the string matching problem. Among them, Berry-Ravindran algorithm was found to be fairly efficient. Further refinement of this algorithm is made in TVSBS and SSABS algorithms. However, these algorithms do not give the best possible shift in the search phase. In this paper, we propose an algorithm which gives the best possible shift in the search phase and is faster than the previously known algorithms. This algorithm behaves like Berry-Ravindran in the worst case. Further extension of this algorithm has been made for parameterized string matching which is able to detect plagiarism in a software code.

    An Evaluation on Developer's Perception of Xml Schema Complexity Metrics for Web Services
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2013) Crasso, Marco; Mateos, Cristian; Coscia, Jose Luis Ordiales; Zunino, Alejandro; Misra, Sanjay
    Undoubtedly, the Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) is not an incipient computing paradigm anymore, while Web Services technologies is now a very mature stack of technologies. Both have been steadily gaining maturity as their adoption in the software industry grew. Accordingly, several metric suites for assessing different quality attributes of Web Services have been recently proposed. In particular, researchers have focused on measuring services interfaces descriptions, which like any other software artifact, have a measurable size, complexity and quality. This paper presents a study that assesses human perception of some recent services interfaces complexity metrics (Basci and Misra's metrics suite). Empirical evidence suggests that a service interface that it is not complex for a software application, in terms of time and space required to analyze it, will not be necessarily well designed, in terms of best practices for designing Web Services. A Likert-based questionnaire was used to gather individuals opinions about this topic.

    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.

    Modified Cognitive Complexity Measure
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2006) Misra, Sanjay
    In cognitive functional size measure, the functional size is proportional to weighted cognitive complexity of all internal BCS's and number of input and output. This paper proposes the modification in cognitive functional size complexity measure. The proposed complexity measure is proportional to total occurrence of operators and operands and all internal BCS's. The operators and operands are equally important in design consideration. Thus, the contribution of the operators, operands and cognitive aspects complete the definition of a complexity measure in terms of cognitive. Accordingly, a new formula is developed for calculating the modified cognitive complexity measure. An attempt has also been made to evaluate modified cognitive complexity measure in terms of nine Weyuker's properties, through examples. It has been found that seven of nine Weyuker's properties have been satisfied by the modified cognitive complexity measure and hence establishes as a well-structured one.

    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.

    Complexity Metrics for Cascading Style Sheets
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2012) Adewumi, Adewole; Misra, Sanjay; Ikhu-Omoregbe, Nicholas
    Web 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.

    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 Software Metric for Python Language
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2010) Misra, Sanjay; Cafer, Ferid
    There are many metrics for evaluating the quality of codes written in different programming languages. However, no efforts have been done to propose metrics for Python, which is an important and useful language especially for the software development for the embedded systems. In this present work, we are trying to investigate all the factors, which are responsible for increasing the complexity of code written in Python language. Accordingly, we have proposed a unified metric for this language. Practical applicability of the metric is demonstrated on a case study.

    Effective Project Leadership in Computer Science and Engineering
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2009) Cafer, Ferid; Misra, Sanjay
    Project leaders are the most important individuals in projects. A project leader should follow some thinking styles and values which can lead his or her team to success. There is a common notion among software specialists that the more complex a project manager thinks, the better his leadership is. In this paper, we discuss the significance of simple thinking in project leadership. If the leader thinks in a simple way, then the risk of being suffocated in details is less. Complex thinking brings out greater risks of losing the general control of the system because of spending too much time and effort on details and, as a result, more confusion. Not only simplicity, but also psychological factors are important in guiding teams and developing projects in the most effective way. Here, we present a set of qualities for a good project leader in software engineering. In addition to that, we also demonstrate how cognitive and ethical issues affect leadership qualities.
