As the competition in the software development business grows fiercer, the features provided in the software become more and more important. With the growing popularity of open source software and the advent of new software delivery models, such as software-as-a-service, the traditional software...

Smart devices, such as smart phones and tablet computers, have rapidly conquered the world with millions of users. The success of a few developers and the low entry barrier to the application marketplaces of these smart devices have led to the offering of hundreds of thousands applications by...

Software inventions have increased dramatically as software industry is growing and has become important for global economy. Accordingly, software claims need drafting carefully in order to properly protect the invention claimed in a software claim. In earlier days, Freeman-Walter- Abele...

In this paper, we empirically investigate the dynamics of the marginal propensity to pirate for computer software. We introduce a state space formulation that allows us to estimate error structures and parameter significance, in contrast to previous work. For data from 1987-92, we find a rising...

Action Design Research (ADR) has been termed a new research method for generating prescriptive design knowledge through building and evaluating ensemble IT artifacts in an organizational setting. This paper demonstrates the use of the ADR methodology in a New Software Product Development (NSPD)...

Certain mechanical shortcomings in engines cannot be ascribed to errors in design or defects in construction. They are due to the fact that it is impossible to design and construct engines in a way that completely eliminates friction between its parts. Friction causes wear and tear that is...

Several factors might be affecting the quality of software products. In this study we focus on three significant parameters: software manager, programmer and the customer. Our study demonstrates that the quality of product will improve by increasing the information generated by these three...

Context: Studies on global software development have documented severe coordination and communication problems among coworkers due to geographic dispersion and consequent dependency on technology. These problems are exacerbated by increase in the complexity of work undertaken by global teams....
