Software development projects are logically divided into phases that are composing the project life cycle. The name and number of these phases are industry dependent, so they are completely different from one field of activity to another. Typically, the phases are scheduled sequentially but in...

Software development projects are logically divided into phases that are composing the project life cycle. Typically, the phases are scheduled sequentially but in some cases a project may take clear advantages by running the phases concurrently. The most common phase-to-phase relation-ships are...

Using metrics and indicators for the evaluation of the IT projects management have the advantage of providing rigorous details about the required effort and the boundaries of the IT deliverables. There are some disadvantages, as well, due to the fact the input data contains errors and the value...

Despite of its age, the Pareto Principle is still a strong mechanism constantly used in quality control of projects from various areas, including the IT field.

The base entity in computer programming is the process or task. The parallelism can be achieved by executing multiple processes on different processors. Distributed systems are managed by distributed operating systems that represent the extension for multiprocessor architectures of multitasking...

Several methods can be applied to parallelize a program containing input/output operations but one of the most important challenges is to parallelize loops because they usually spend the most CPU time even if the code contained is very small. A loop could by parallelized by distributing...

The purpose of this article is to explain the way in which a software project (old, current or future) should be tailored in order to be ready for an external backup.

WiMAX enabled mobile devices become very popular due to the fact the network connections can be easily maintained on move. Regarding the network security, WiMAX provides strong user authentication, access control, data privacy and data integrity using sophisticated encryption technology. WiMAX...

Many professionals and 3D artists consider Blender as being the best open source solution for 3D computer graphics. The main features are related to modeling, rendering, shading, imaging, compositing, animation, physics and particles and realtime 3D/game creation.

Any major software development starts with the Initiating process group. Once the charter document is approved, the Planning and then to the Executing stages will follow. Monitoring and Controlling is measuring the potential performance deviation of the project in terms of schedule and costs and...
