PSP Performance Analysis Report

The Personal Software Process (PSP) is a structured software development process that is intended to help software engineers understand and improve their performance, by using a disciplined, data-driven procedure. The PSP was created by Watts Humphrey to apply the underlying principles of the Software Engineering Institute’s (SEI) Capability Maturity Model (CMM) to the software development practices of a single developer. It gives software engineers the process skills necessary to work on a Team Software Process (TSP) team. PSP training includes eight assignments in two courses – PSP Fundamentals and PSP Advanced. The report includes final analysis of all the data that was gathered during the training

Ontology Mapping Tools, Methods and Approaches – Analytical Survey

In this paper we present the results of browsing, analyzing and comparing many ontology mapping tools, approaches and methods. We extract and classify valuable parameters for strict and unambiguous tool or method description. Every mapping tool, algorithm or approach must have such a description, practically usable for both human and software agents and sufficient for easy checking if it suitable or not for a given task. We will use our classifications for developing ontology, conceptualizing all valuable metadata for semantic machine-processable mapping tools description
