This is done by developing a negative binomial regression model to help predict characteristics of new releases of a software system, based on information collected about prior releases and the new release under development. The same prediction model was also used to allow a tester to select the files of a new release that collectively contain any desired percentage of the faults. The benefit of being able to make these sorts of predictions accurately should be clear: if we know where to look for bugs, we should be able to target our testing efforts there and, as a result, find problems more quickly and therefore more economically. Two case studies using large industrial software systems are summarized. The first study used seventeen consecutive releases of a large inventory system, representing more than four years of field exposure. The second study used nine releases of a service provisioning system with two years of field experience.","PeriodicalId":229699,"journal":{"name":"2005 Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing Conference","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129881591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It follows that determining the optimal amount of call center agents is of great interest to call center managers. This paper addresses both the staffing of agents and the provisioning of telephone lines by introducing a revenue and penalty structure. Our goal is to develop an approximate algorithm for designing a profit optimal staffing and provisioning schedule. Our method for determining the number of agents and telephone lines arises from variational optimization methods. First, we model the call center as a multiserver queue with additional waiting spaces and abandonment. This queueing system is a special case of a natural class of queueing network models for call centers called Markovian service networks. Now we add an economic structure to our queueing model for the call center. We assume that there is a reward for every successful service completion, a penalty for every abandoned call, and a cost for the number of agents and telephone lines used. We can then express the total profit for the call center as an integral functional of the time evolution for the number of customers in the system over a fixed time interval. We call this our profit functional. We then use variational calculus methods from the theory of optimal control to derive an optimal staffing and provisioning schedule from our analysis of the fluid approximation of the profit functional.","PeriodicalId":229699,"journal":{"name":"2005 Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113956745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SDG method is consistent with the weak formulation of conservation laws, and, in the case of strictly hyperbolic systems, also with the Lax entropy condition. Convergence of the method was shown for a special class of hyperbolic systems (Temple systems). The initial data we consider lead to nonclassical shocks. The first part of our study is for the Keyfitz-Kranzer system. We compute the SDG solutions approximating overcompressive and singular shocks, and note that our results are consistent with those obtained by [Sanders, and Sever, 2003] using a finite difference scheme. The second system we consider is an approximation of a three-phase flow in the petroleum reservoirs. Numerical solutions for this system were computed by [Schecter, Plohr, and Marchesin, 2004] using the Dafermos regularization and a technique for numerical solving of ordinary differential equations. We compute the SDG approximation to a solution containing a transitional shock. We note that even though convergence of the SDG method was shown so far only for Temple systems, numerical examples herewith show that it can be successfully used in approximating solutions of more general conservation laws.","PeriodicalId":229699,"journal":{"name":"2005 Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116792766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
