TLDR
It can be concluded that in terms of the number of SPSM studies found in the overall software engineering community, there is no significant change compared to the former review stage (1998-2007).Abstract:
Software Process Simulation Modeling (SPSM) has raised research interest since 1980s. However, it is observed that SPSM studies published in the ICSSP community may have dropped in recent years. The objective of this research is to update the recent status of this area. We conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the QGS-based search strategy. The review identified 74 primary studies in the past five years (2008-2012). This paper presents the preliminary results from this updated SLR by answering the first four research questions. Based on the findings from this updated review, it can be concluded that in terms of the number of SPSM studies found in the overall software engineering community, there is no significant change (drop) compared to the former review stage (1998-2007).read more

Identifying relevant studies in software engineering
TL;DR: The main objective of the research reported in this paper is to improve the search step of undertaking SLRs in software engineering (SE) by devising and evaluating systematic and practical approaches to identifying relevant studies in SE by incorporating the concept of 'quasi-gold standard' (QGS).
