upcoming events

Friday, February 5th, 2010

2010 has been super busy so far, and is off to a great start. In addition to a new IEEE Computer Society meeting panel invitation, and our previously accepted SEPG 2010 presentation on requirements engineering metrics, the Agile Teams collaborators now have a half-day tutorial accepted at SATURN. If you’re also attending SEPG or SATURN this year, please look for us and say hi!

moving AHEAD

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

Our recent work with developing and applying AHEAD, which blends requirements engineering, AHP, architecture analysis, and prototyping for software technology evaluations, has been well received. Since the QFD Symposium, we’ve had papers on different aspects of the AHEAD method accepted by IASTED, SEPG, SAC, and SATURN! These AHEAD papers will be made available, subject to the conference publishers’ permission policies, after the conferences.

We also set a new personal-best record for accepted papers at the CMMI Technology Conference: seven! The papers include lessons learned from geographically distributed appraisals and innovative approaches to economic valuation of SPI activities. PDFs are now available online at the NDIA site and via our 2008 CMMI Technology conference page.

(Conferences page has been updated – Publications page, by date, will follow soonis now up to date too.)

We’ve also recently vetted our 2009 RE (requirements engineering) research roadmap with management, and are diving into some exciting new areas of work – stay tuned 🙂 Also mulling whether to submit papers for RE2009 and/or Agile 2009 …

getting AHEAD

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

In conjunction with our colleague Elizabeth, Aldo, Qingfeng, and I have recently completed several new papers on the AHEAD method which emerged from a recent software technology evaluation project. AHEAD stands for Attribute Hierarchy-based Evaluation of Architectural Designs; the method blends the SEI’s Attribute-Driven Design (ADD) with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to deliver a nice balance between efficiency and accuracy (agility and discipline) in performing objective software technology evaluations. Our research results are just now ‘hitting the press’ … the first paper was well received at the QFD Symposium last week, and two others have been accepted at conferences and will be presented in March. Please check out AHEAD – we’d love to hear your comments and suggestions for improving and applying it!
