More about the book

This unique volume delves into advanced management strategies for developing complex software that is efficient, scalable, sustainable, and well-suited for distributed environments. It features practical insights from an international array of leading experts, including case studies, best practices, and comprehensive corporate analyses. The focus is on utilizing the latest software technologies and frameworks throughout the software development life cycle, covering design, implementation, and testing stages. Key topics include approaches for reusability, cost and time estimation, and functional size measurement of distributed software applications. It discusses the essential characteristics of large-scale defense systems and the design of software project management (SPM) as a service. The text introduces the 3PR framework, research on crowdsourcing software development, and innovative modeling approaches for large-scale multi-agent systems. It also examines system architecture for ambient assisted living, cloud migration, and management assessment. Furthermore, it describes a software error proneness mechanism, a novel Scrum process for the defense sector, and an ontology annotation for SPM in distributed environments. The benefits of agile project management for higher education and the integration of software and data engineering in SPM are also explored.
