Background: Function point analysis (FPA) has become widely used to measure software functional size in the industry. FPA is usually performed manually, which is a time consuming and expensive process. Automated Function ...

Background: Software size is one of the key factors that has the potential to affect the effort of software projects. Providing accurate software size estimation is a complex task. A number of functional size measurement ...

In many applications of lifetime data analysis, it is important to perform inferences about the change-point of the hazard function. The change-point could be a maximum for unimodal hazard functions or a minimum for bathtub ...

The complexity of providing accurate functional software size and effort prediction models is well known in the software industry. Function point analysis (FPA) is currently one of the most accepted software functional ...

© 2019 Heldermann Verlag. All rights reserved.In this work we prove that if X is a complete locally convex space and {equation presented} is a function such that f -x∗attains its minimum for every x∗∈ U, where U is an open ...

This work provides formulae for the ε-subdifferential of integral functions in the framework of complete σ-finite measure spaces and locally convex spaces. In this work we present here new formulae for this ε-subdifferential ...

This paper presents a verification protocol for analyzing the source of inaccuracy in measurement activities of Function Points Analysis (FPA) and Automated Function Point (AFP). An empirical study was conducted with the ...

We generalize and improve the original characterization given by Valadier [18, Theorem 1] of the subdifferential of the pointwise supremum of convex functions, involving the subdifferentials of the data functions at nearby ...
