Abstract:

CONTENTS 1 NAVAIRs Coast-to-Coast Support of the E-2C Hawkeye Using Distributed TSP by Linda Lou Crosby and Jeff Schwalb This article discusses a Naval Air Systems Command distributed team that became an example of how projects can work together remotely and be successful. 2 Improving Consistency of Use Case Points Estimates by Dr. David J. Coe This article presents experimental data on the use of the Use Case Points method to estimate development effort for a semester-scale software product. 3 Good Practices for Developing User Requirements by Ellen Gottesdiener This article provides a requirements model road map that helps software development teams understand the effective use of requirements models. 4 Tabular Notations for State Machine-Based Specifications by Markus Herrmannsdoerfer, Dr. Sascha Konrad, and Brian Berenbach This article describes five approaches using tabular notations for state machine-based specifications and evaluates these approaches for use in software development. 5 Addressing the Challenges of Tactical Information Management in Net-Centric Systems With DDS by Dr. Douglas C. Schmidt, Dr. Angelo Corsaro, and Hans Vant Hag This article presents an architectural overview of the Object Management Group Data Distribution Service.
