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: 3Object-oriented inheritance metrics: Cognitive complexity perspective(2009) Mishra,D.; Mishra,A.Identifying high cognitive complexity modules can lead to a better quality software system and can help during maintenance also. It has been found that inheritance has an impact on cognitive complexity of a software system. In this paper, two inheritance metrics based on cognitive complexity, one at class level CCI (Class Complexity due to Inheritance) and another at program level ACI (Average Complexity of a program due to Inheritance), have been proposed for object-oriented software systems. These metrics are also compared with other well known object-oriented inheritance metrics. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 4Effective Project Leadership in Computer Science and Engineering(2009) Cafer,F.; Misra,S.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. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.Article Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 58A Suite of Object Oriented Cognitive Complexity Metrics(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2018) Misra, Sanjay; Adewumi, Adewole; Fernandez-Sanz, Luis; Damasevicius, RobertasObject orientation has gained a wide adoption in the software development community. To this end, different metrics that can be utilized in measuring and improving the quality of object-oriented (OO) software have been proposed, by providing insight into the maintainability and reliability of the system. Some of these software metrics are based on cognitive weight and are referred to as cognitive complexity metrics. It is our objective in this paper to present a suite of cognitive complexity metrics that can be used to evaluate OO software projects. The present suite of metrics includes method complexity, message complexity, attribute complexity, weighted class complexity, and code complexity. The metrics suite was evaluated theoretically using measurement theory and Weyuker's properties, practically using Kaner's framework and empirically using thirty projects.Conference Object A 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. 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.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7The Role of Leadership Cognitive Complexity in Software Development Projects: an Empirical Assessment for Simple Thinking(Wiley, 2011) Akman, Ibrahim; Misra, Sanjay; Cafer, FeridSimple thinking (or simplicity) is a way of coping with complexity. It is especially important in the software development process (SDP), which is an error-prone, time-consuming, and complex activity. This article investigates the role of the thinking style-namely, simple thinking-which has been found effective in solving complicated problems during software development. For this purpose, it reviews and discusses simplicity issues from a general perspective and, then, reports the findings of a survey concerning the assessment of simplicity in SDP. The survey was conducted among information and communication technologies senior professionals and managers from government and private-sector organizations. Relevant hypotheses have been developed under different empirical categories for analysis. Statistical analysis techniques were then used to draw inferences based on these hypotheses. The results have proved simplicity to have a significant role in the SDP to a certain extent.
