An Operational Process for Goal-Driven Definition of Measures
We propose an approach (GQM/MEDEA) for defining measures of product attributes in software engineering. The approach is driven by the experimental goals of measurement, expressed v...

Using a Log-normal Failure Rate Distribution for Worst Case Bound Reliability Prediction
Prior research has suggested that the failure rates of faults follow a log normal distribution. We propose a specific model where distributions close to a log normal arise natural...

A structured definition of the modeling process
We present a mapping of Best Practices from the field of software engineering to the practice of discrete event simulation model construction. There are obvious parallels between ...
