Common Understanding

Software measurement is performed in the context of various software processes that, generally, have different supporting tools. Thus, organizations have to deal with integration issues to enable the communication between tools and to properly support the measurement process. A key factor for integration is that tools share a common understanding regarding the meaning of the exchanged terms and services, i.e., it is important to deal with integration at the semantic level. Ontologies have been acknowledged as an important means to address semantic integration. In this paper we present the Ontology-Based Approach for Measurement Systems Integration (OBA-MSI), an approach that uses ontologies as a basis to integrate tools aiming at supporting the software measurement process. In order to evaluate OBA-MSI, it was applied to integrate tools in a software development organization.

Software measurement is a key practice to process improvement and project management. Given the nature of measurement activities, supporting tools are essential. Different tools can be combined to support the measurement process and provide necessary information for decision making. However, these tools are usually developed by different developers, at different points in time and without concern for integration. As a result, organizations have to deal with integration issues to allow tools communication and properly support the measurement process. In this paper we present a tool integration initiative performed following the Ontology-Based Approach for Measurement Systems Integration (OBA-MSI) aiming to support the measurement process in a software development organization. The integration involved three tools: Taiga, SonarQube and SoMeSPC.

AbstractThis paper surveys matters related to the need for a new legal regime for the Arctic Ocean. It reviews the legal system based on the UN Convention for the Law of the Sea, and the regional and international treaties dealing with resource management, (marine) environmental protection and economic activities applicable to the Arctic. It suggests that implementation of existing legal instruments at the domestic level is a key factor needed to tackle the consequences of climate change and governance of fisheries and marine ecosystems in the Arctic. It is also considered to be the Arctic Council's responsibility to build a common understanding among the stakeholders, thereby enhancing the potential for further international cooperation.

In this article, we present an overview and summary of the work undertaken by the Music and Social Intervention Network. Exploring the themes of ‘excellence’ and ‘inclusion’, we begin with a consideration of the four articles presented within this special issue and then proceed onto a reflection surrounding wider discussions prevalent at the public events held as part of the project. Following this, we outline five key discourses that emerged through the research process: value, context, measurement, process/product and pedagogy. These fields were then used to identify three underlying issues that affect the way the concepts of excellence and inclusion manifest. After proposing a common understanding of the terms under scrutiny, we suggest that the research points towards a reformation that reads: excellence is the process within community music and inclusion is the product of that process. Reflective questions pertaining to this idea are left open for further discussion.

Software measures filtration is important but often been neglected activity in software measurement. A framework for software measures filtration process that not only satisfied measurement goals but also matched organization capability is been presented. In this framework, software measures that get by GQM been evaluated on the evaluation criteria. The fuzzy mathematic expectation has been proposed to calculate measures evaluation value. The algorithm of verify goal achievable has been described. The framework ensures that measures set are most appropriate.

Common Understanding

From PhD-doing to PhD-done is not as from A to B. This paper aims to increasing the understanding of the complex relationship between the doctoral research and the supervisory process. The research method is that of repertory-grids where the authors discuss successful completions. The paper is argumentative in nature and provides insights to a complex process largely untested. A supervisory model previously presented by both authors (Aranda-Mena & Gameson, 2004) is tested in two areas: (1) the research process and (2) personality factors. The paper increases common understanding of what it takes to completing a PhD and supervisory challenges in such long process. Supervision is a key factor to completing a PhD and to developing the intellectual, analytical and research skills expected of PhD graduates. The authors call for more research, both theoretical and empirical, in this important area.
