Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Design Method of SPEM-based Feature Methodology FrameworkChee-Yang Song, Eun-Sook ChoExisting feature methodologies have been presented primarily at the research level, lacking generalized frameworks suitable for commercial application. Critically, the absence of SPEM (Software & Systems Process Engineering Metamodel) standard compliance limits their standardization and systematization, hindering practical adoption. Furthermore, work-product-based feature methodology frameworks that facilitate methodological structuring are needed to address the evolving complexity of software development processes. This … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 11 · 26 Dec 2025 · 1,719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThinging-Based Conceptual Modeling: Case Study of a Tendering SystemSabah Al-Fedaghi, Esraa HaidarIn computer science, models are made explicit to provide formality and a precise understanding of small, contingent “universes” (e.g., an organization), as constructed from stakeholder requirements. Conceptual modeling is a fundamental discipline in this context whose main concerns are identifying, analyzing and describing the critical concepts of a universe of discourse. In the information systems field, one of the reasons … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 15 Apr 2020 · 7,943 accessesView PDFCite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview on the use of Ontologies in Software EngineeringDaniel Strmečki, Ivan Magdalenić, Dragutin KermekOne of the main goals of the Software Engineering (SE) discipline is to find higher abstraction levels and ways to reuse software in order to increase its productivity and quality. Ontologies, which are typically considered as a technique or an artifact used in one or more software lifecycle phases, may be used to help achieve that goal. This paper provides … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 9 Feb 2017 · 7,353 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHOW PUBLIC ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURES INFLUENCE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROCESSESMohammed A. Bindrees, Robert J. Pooley, Idris S. Ibrahim, Diana S. BentalSoftware applications are developed differently based on each organisation's needs and requirements. Software projects are fundamentally based on three considerations (time, cost and quality) each of which is affected by organisational factors. Both Project Management and Software Engineering have emphasised the role of organisation structure on the quality of the deliverable software applications, recognising that organisation structure influences flexibility, reporting … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 29 Dec 2014 · 7,985 accessesView PDFCite
