Socratic pedagogy and citizenship formation in Higher Education
(2015-03-28)This article addresses the significant claim that higher education in England has a role in preparing learners for lives as active democratic citizens. By reasserting the use of Socratic pedagogy both in a traditional sense ... -
Soft Gamma Repeaters and Short Gamma Ray Bursts: Making Magnetars from WD WD Mergers
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2007)Recent progress on the nature of short duration Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) has shown that a fraction of them originate in the local universe. These systems may well be the result of giant flares from Soft Gamma Repeaters ... -
Soft X-ray absorption excess in gamma-ray burst afterglow spectra: Absorption by turbulent ISM
(2016-11-01)Two-thirds of long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) show soft X-ray absorption in excess of the Milky Way. The column densities of metals inferred from UV and optical spectra differ from those derived from soft X-ray ... -
Soft x-ray observations of the early b-giants beta and epsilon CMA
(1994)The study reports observations performed with the PSPC on board the Roentgensatellit (ROSAT) of the two nearby giant stars Beta CMa (B1 II-III) and Epsilon CMa (B2 II). Upper limits in the region of +/- 10 percent can be ... -
Software defect prediction using static code metrics underestimates defect-proneness
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)Many studies have been carried out to predict the presence of software code defects using static code metrics. Such studies typically report how a classifier performs with real world data, but usually no analysis of the ... -
Software Defect Prediction Using Static Code Metrics: Formulating a Methodology
(University of Hertfordshire, 2013-06-24)Software defect prediction is motivated by the huge costs incurred as a result of software failures. In an effort to reduce these costs, researchers have been utilising software metrics to try and build predictive models ... -
Software defect prediction: do different classifiers find the same defects?
(2017-02-07)During the last 10 years, hundreds of different defect prediction models have been published. The performance of the classifiers used in these models is reported to be similar with models rarely performing above the ... -
Software developer motivation in a high maturity company: a case study
(2006)In this article, we discuss the impact of software developer motivation on projects. Motivation has been reported to be an important determinant of productivity and quality of work in many industries. In this article, we ... -

Software development for dynamic systems
(Springer Nature, 2002)The dynamic nature of knowledge and software evolution and usage present a pervasive challenge to system developers. Discrete attempts to create such systems often lead to a mismatch between system, expectation and a ... -
Software development: Do good manners matter?
(2016-07-18)A successful software project is the result of a complex process involving, above all, people. Developers are the key factors for the success of a software development process, not merely as executors of tasks, but as ... -
Software Evolutionary Dynamics Modelled as the Activity of an Actor-Network
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006) -
Software process dynamic modelling for FEAST/1
(1999)This paper describes a high-level system dynamics model of a real-world software evolution process. This process is implementing embedded software elements of a defence system composed of hardware and software components. ... -
Software process improvement - EuroSPI 2007 conference
(Springer Nature, 2007)This book constitutes the refereed research proceeding of the 14th European Software Process Improvement Conference, EuroSPI 2007, held in Potsdam, Germany in September 2007. The 18 revised full papers presented were ... -
Software Process Improvement Motivators : An Analysis using Multidimensional Scaling
(2002)In this paper we present an analysis of software practitioners' motivations for software process improvement (SPI). Our findings are based on an empirical study of SPI in 13 software companies where we conducted focus ... -
Software process improvement problems in twelve software companies: An empirical analysis
(2003)In this paper we discuss our study of the problems 12 software companies experienced in software development. In total we present qualitative data collected from 45 focus groups that involved over 200 software staff. We ... -

A software tool supporting a constructivist approach to assessing student team work in software development
(2018-06-29)We developed a robust technical tool providing level 5-7 students with simulated experiences of team-based software development. It is scalable from a pedagogical perspective, given the tool supports real-world case studies, ...
