    Effort Prediction With Limited Data: a Case Study for Data Warehouse Projects
    (IEEE, 2022) Unlu, Huseyin; Yildiz, Ali; Demirors, Onur
    Organizations may create a sustainable competitive advantage against competitors by using data warehouse systems with which they can assess the current status of their operations at any moment. They can analyze trends and connections using up-to-date data. However, data warehouse projects tend to fail more often than other projects as it can be tough to estimate the effort required to build a data warehouse system. Functional size measurement is one of the methods used as an input for estimating the amount of work in a software project. In this study, we formed a measurement basis for DWH projects in an organization based on the COSMIC Functional Size Measurement Method. We mapped COSMIC rules on two different architectures used for DWH projects in the organization and measured the size of the projects. We calculated the productivity of the projects and compared them with the organization's previous projects and DWH projects in the ISBSG repository. We could not create an organization-wide effort estimation model as we had a limited number of projects. As an alternative, we evaluated the success of effort estimation using DWH projects in the ISBSG repository. We also reported the challenges we faced during the size measurement process.

    Utilization of Three Software Size Measures for Effort Estimation in Agile World: a Case Study
    (IEEE, 2022) Unlu, Huseyin; Hacaloglu, Tuna; Buber, Fatma; Berrak, Kivilcim; Leblebici, Onur; Demirors, Onur
    Functional size measurement (FSM) methods, by being systematic and repeatable, are beneficial in the early phases of the software life cycle for core project management activities such as effort, cost, and schedule estimation. However, in agile projects, requirements are kept minimal in the early phases and are detailed over time as the project progresses. This situation makes it challenging to identify measurement components of FSM methods from requirements in the early phases, hence complicates applying FSM in agile projects. In addition, the existing FSM methods are not fully compatible with today's architectural styles, which are evolving into event-driven decentralized structures. In this study, we present the results of a case study to compare the effectiveness of different size measures: functional -COSMIC Function Points (CFP)-, event-based - Event Points-, and code length-based - Line of Code (LOC)- on projects that were developed with agile methods and utilized a microservice- based architecture. For this purpose, we measured the size of the project and created effort estimation models based on three methods. It is found that the event-based method estimated effort with better accuracy than the CFP and LOC-based methods.

    Adopting Heterogeneous Computing Modules: Experiences From a Touch Summer Workshop
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Bunde, D.P.; Ahmed, K.; Ayloo, S.; Brown-Gaines, T.; Fuentes, J.; Jatala, V.; Yeh, T.Y.
    We present efforts to encourage the adoption of modules for teaching heterogeneous parallel computing through a faculty development workshop. The workshop was held remotely using a novel format to exploit the advantages of a virtual format and mitigate its disadvantages. Adoption at a wide variety of institutions showed module effectiveness and also gathered feedback leading to several module improvements. We also report on the adoptions themselves, which show the importance of supporting adaptation of the modules for diverse settings. © 2022 IEEE.

    Application Areas of Community Detection: a Review
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Karatas, A.; Sahin, S.
    In the realm of today's real world, information systems are represented by complex networks. Complex networks contain a community structure inherently. Community is a set of members strongly connected within members and loosely connected with the rest of the network. Community detection is the task of revealing inherent community structure. Since the networks can be either static or dynamic, community detection can be done on both static and dynamic networks as well. In this study, we have talked about taxonomy of community detection methods with their shortages. Then we examine and categorize application areas of community detection in the realm of nature of complex networks (i.e., static or dynamic) by including sub areas of criminology such as fraud detection, criminal identification, criminal activity detection and bot detection. This paper provides a hot review and quick start for researchers and developers in community detection area. © 2018 IEEE.
