    Modified cognitive complexity measure
    (Springer Verlag, 2006) Misra,S.
    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. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.

    A Step by Step Guide for Choosing Project Topics and Writing Research Papers in Ict Related Disciplines
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Misra,S.
    ICT is fast-growing and changing field. A lot of researches are being done in various area of ICT, and results are presented in various platforms like conferences, journal and books. This is common observations in the publications from developing countries (especially in sub – Saharan africa) are not being published in reputed and established publishers even their technical/experiments are good. This is due to lack of several factors including professional presentation, the novelty of the topic, quality of literature review etc. This work guides final year bachelor’s students, PG students (masters and PhD) and young researchers, especially working in computing-related disciplines, on how to convert their project works into quality publications. The authors provide details on how these researchers can select suitable project topics, do a proper review, write up the key components of a paper and present their results in an appropriate form (that is, writing style starting from abstract to conclusion). This paper also presents and guides on how to write various types of review papers. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    Cognitive Program Complexity Measure
    (Ieee Computer Soc, 2007) Misra, Sanjay
    In cognitive informatics, the functional complexity of software depends on three factors: internal architecture, input, and output. In the earlier proposed metrics based on cognitive informatics, these above factors are not fully considered. This paper proposes an improved cognitive complexity measure. Accordingly, new formula is developed to calculate the cognitive complexity. An attempt has also been made to evaluate and validate the proposed measure through Weyuker's properties and a practical framework It has been found that seven of nine Weyuker's properties have been satisfied by the proposed cognitive complexity measure. It also satisfies most of the parameters required by the practical framework hence establishes as a well-structured one. Finally, a comparative study with similar measures has been made to prove its robustness.

    Weyuker's Properties, Language Independency and Object Oriented Metrics
    (2009) Misra,S.
    Weyuker proposed the nine properties to evaluate software complexity measures at a time when procedural languages were dominant; however, several researchers have used these properties to evaluate object oriented metrics although the object-oriented (OO) features are entirely different in nature. In this paper, we evaluate each of Weyuker's properties for its effective evaluation and relevance for OO metrics. In addition, we evaluate eleven OO metrics against language independency and additive property. A set of additional properties for object oriented metrics are also summarized in this paper. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.

    Modified set of Weyuker's properties
    (Ieee Computer Soc, 2006) Misra, Sanjay
    Weyuker properties have been suggested as a guiding tool in identification of a good and comprehensive complexity measure by several researchers. However, some of the Weyukers properties are useless and evaluations of any complexity measure by these properties are meaningless. In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyze Weyuker's properties and propose a new set of properties to evaluate complexity measures.

    An Object Oriented Complexity Metric Based on Cognitive Weights
    (Ieee Computer Soc, 2007) Misra, Sanjay
    Complexity in general is defined as "the degree to which a system or component has a design or implementation that is difficult to understand and verify". Complexity metrics are used to predict critical information about reliability and maintainability of software systems. Object oriented software development requires a different approach to software metrics. In this paper, an attempt has been made to propose a metric for an object oriented code, which calculates the complexity of a class at method level. The proposed measure considers the internal architecture of the class, subclass, and member functions, while other proposed metrics for object oriented programming do not. An attempt has also been made to evaluate and validate the proposed measure in terms of Weyuker's properties and against the principles of measurement theory. It has been found that seven of nine Weyuker's properties have been satisfied by the proposed measure. It also satisfies most of the parameters required by the measurement theory perspective, hence establishes as a well-structured one.
