    Multi-Paradigm Metric and Its Applicability on Java Projects
    (Budapest Tech, 2013) Misra, Sanjay; Cafer, Ferid; Akman, Ibahim; Fernandez-Sanz, Luis
    JAVA is one of the favorite languages amongst software developers. However, the numbers of specific software metrics to evaluate the JAVA code are limited In this paper, we evaluate the applicability of a recently developed multi paradigm metric to JAVA projects. The experimentations show that the Multi paradigm metric is an effective measure for estimating the complexity of the JAVA code/projects, and therefore it can be used for controlling the quality of the projects. We have also evaluated the multi-paradigm metric against the principles of measurement theory.

    A Comparative Study of Agile, Component-Based, Aspect-Oriented and Mashup Software Development Methods
    (Univ Osijek, Tech Fac, 2012) Patel, Ahmed; Seyfi, Ali; Taghavi, Mona; Wills, Christopher; Na, Liu; Latih, Rodziah; Misra, Sanjay; Computer Engineering
    This paper compares Agile Methods, Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE), Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) and Mashups as the four most advanced software development methods. These different approaches depend almost totally on their application domain but their usability can be equally applied across domains. The purpose of this comparative analysis is to give a succinct and clear review of these four methodologies. Their definitions, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages are considered and a conceptual mind-map is generated that sets out a foundation to assist in the formulation and design of a possible new integrated software development approach. This includes supportive techniques to benefit from the examined methods' potential advantages for cross-fertilization. It is a basis upon which new thinking may be initiated and further research stimulated in the software engineering subject field.

    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.

    Estimating Complexity of Programs in Python Language
    (Univ Osijek, Tech Fac, 2011) Misra, Sanjay; Cafer, Ferid
    In this paper, a complexity metric for Python language is formulated. Since Python is an object oriented language, the present metric is capable to evaluate any object-oriented language. We validate our metric with case study, comparative study and empirical validation. The case study is in Python, Java and C++ and the results prove that Python is better than other object-oriented languages. Later, we validate the metric empirically with a real project, which is developed in Python.

    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.
