Context Software development involves many activities, and decision making is an essential one. Various factors can impact a decision-making process, and by understanding such factors, one can improve the process. Since people are the ones making decisions, some human-related aspects are amongst those influencing factors. One such aspect is the dec...

Context From a point of view, software development is a set of decisions that need to be made while the software is developed. Many alternatives should be considered, such as the technology to employ, or the most important features to implement. However, many factors can influence one’s decision-making, such as the decision maker’s personality. Ob...

Within the context of software engineering, many decisions take place and such decisions should employ value propositions that focus on short as well as long-term goals. In 2003, Boehm coined the term Value-Based Software Engineering (VBSE), which entails the change from a value-neutral to a value-based approach. VBSE argues that decisions should b...

Resumo Non-technical competencies associate knowledge, attitudes and skills in distinct areas such as social, personal and cognitive. These skills are important for the success of any software project. Besides, regarding the development of educational software they are even more fundamental. Such competencies have not been clearly observed in Comp...

The implementation of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) requires the support of tools and technologies capable of interpreting large quantities of data collected from different sources comprising sensors networks, mobile devices, social networks and other systems. The agent-oriented paradigm is particularly appropriate for such a scenario, because agents...

Information Technology (IT) products and services are criti- cal success factors for modern organizations. These products and services are planned, developed, delivered and operated through IT Processes which are continually improved in order to foster the organization’s per- formance. Since many IT processes are involved in this scenario, several...

The importance of Information Technology in guaranteeing the success of an organization has greatly increased, hence, many models and practices have been developed to improve its effectiveness and efficiency. In order to improve Information Technology practices, however, it is important to initially diagnose current practices and then decide what n...

During the initial software specification phase, requirement document, use cases description and interface prototypes can be generated as a way to aid in the construction of system data. The consistency among these documents is a quality attribute which must be emphasized at this phase of the software development process. The QualiCES method is pre...
