Abstract
A short description is given of software process models and the issues they address. An outline is given of the process steps involved in the spiral model, an evolving risk-driven approach that provides a framework for guiding the software process, and its application to a software project is shown. A summary is given of the primary advantages and implications involved in using the spiral model and the primary difficulties in using it at its current incomplete level of elaboration. >

On the role of design in information visualization

TL;DR: This paper investigates the oft-overlooked requirement of attractiveness (or ‘aesthetics’) in visualization, and discusses a wider role for the design process which emphasizes the benefits of disseminating design rationale.

A time/structure based software reliability model

TL;DR: This paper presents an enhanced non-homogeneous Poisson process (ENHPP) model which incorporates explicitly the time-varying test-coverage function in its analytical formulation, and provides for defective fault detection and test coverage during the testing and operational phases and proposes the log-logistic coverage function which can capture an increasing/decreasing failure detection rate per fault.

The Door

TL;DR: This work focuses on a door because it links one place to another, and the linking of different places and sharing of places is one of the substantial qualities of network technology.

Towards a knowledge technology for knowledge management

TL;DR: It is believed that the evidence presented here shows that knowledge engineering has much to offer KM and can be the basis on which to move towards a Knowledge Technology.

Managing the development of large software systems: concepts and techniques

W. W. Royce
TL;DR: I have had various assignments during the past years, mostly concerned with the development of software packages for spacecraft mission planning, commanding and post-flight analysis, and have become prejudiced by these experiences.

Software processes are software too

TL;DR: The major theme of the meeting is the exploration of the importance of process as a vehicle for improving both the quality of software products and the way in which we develop and evolve them.
