Functions for the control of cars, driver assistance as well as systems for information and entertainment are accomplished by software driven control units. Owing to the high complexity and development effort of embedded systems, these resources have to be reused. Software system families (SSF) are a promising solution to achieve cost reduction by reusing common software assets in different variants of an automobile. To support the economic management of this developmental approach, we need software metrics to estimate the effort of building embedded software system families. Techniques of size measurement and cost estimation for software system families are highly insufficient, in general, and do not exist for the automotive domain. Therefore, this article describes a conglomeration of innovative metrics to measure the size of a system family oriented software development. These size metrics analyze a real-time and a process focused perspective of embedded software system families in the automotive domain. A combination of both viewpoints describes the unadjusted size of software driven control units to indicate and estimate their development costs.

Collofello","doi":"10.1002/spip.281","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/spip.281","url":null,"abstract":"Organizations are moving towards the use of software product line approaches to build product families. Cases have shown that software product line approaches can reduce time-to-market (TTM), costs, and resource usage. However, those benefits are not guaranteed in all situations, as they are affected by many factors including the number of available resources, market demands, reuse rates, and product line adoption and evolution strategies. Before initiating a software product line, an organization needs to evaluate available process options in order to see which ones best fit its goals. The aim of this research is to help this decision-making process by providing practical approaches and tools. In this article, a process evaluation approach is proposed, a process meta-model is introduced, and a product line process simulator is presented. The approach contains three steps: process definition, simulation, and evaluation. The process meta-model is used for defining software product line processes. The simulator can predict the development costs, schedule, and resource usage rates for a selected software product line process at a high level. The simulator uses DEVSJAVA as the modeling and simulation formalism and COPLOMO as the cost model. An example is also given and some simulation results are discussed.

In the model, many developer agents generate, extend, and re-factor code modules independently and in parallel. This accords with empirical observations of OSS development. To our knowledge, this is the first model of OSS evolution that includes the complexity of software modules as a limiting factor in productivity, the fitness of the software to its requirements, and the motivation of developers.\u0000Validation of the model was done by comparing the simulated results against four measures of software evolution (system size, proportion of highly complex modules, level of complexity control work, and distribution of changes) for four large OSS systems. The simulated results resembled the observed data, except for system size: three of the OSS systems showed alternating patterns of super-linear and sub-linear growth, while the simulations produced only super-linear growth. However, the fidelity of the model for the other measures suggests that developer motivation and the limiting effect of complexity on productivity have a significant effect on the development of OSS systems and should be considered in any model of OSS development.","PeriodicalId":379836,"journal":{"name":"Softw.

Many studies have proposed that a learning-by-doing educational approach would be more effective than the traditional lecture-oriented, professor-centered strategy. However, the former approach requires an environment where students can act as managers without the cost and risks associated with project failures. Games are proposed to act as such an environment, emulating reality through graphical or textual constructs and allowing the trainees to play the managers' role in a risk-free environment. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000In this work, we present our experiences in developing system dynamics based games for software project management. We describe a project management game intended for training purposes and the changes that were made to allow a system dynamics simulator to support game-like interactions. Moreover, we describe an experimental evaluation of the game's application as a learning-by-doing environment for management students. On the basis of the experience we acquired by building such an interface, we propose models to describe the story underlying a game and its graphical presentation. Such models allow the construction of games without programming, thus fastening the development of simulation-based games.
