    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.

    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.
