A discussion on the role of people in global software development
(Univ Osijek, Tech Fac., 2013) Misra, Sanjay; Colomo-Palacios, Ricardo; Pusatlı, Tolga; Soto-Acosta, Pedro; 51704
Literature is producing a considerable amount of papers which focus on the risks, challenges and solutions of global software development (GSD). However, the influence of human factors on the success of GSD projects requires further study. The aim of our paper is twofold. First, to identify the challenges related to the human factors in GSD and, second, to propose the solution(s), which could help in solving or reducing the overall impact of these challenges. The main conclusions of this research can be valuable to organizations that are willing to achieve the quality objectives regarding GSD projects.

Fusion of smartphone sensor data for classification of daily user activities
(2021) Şengül, Gökhan; Özçelik, Erol; Misra, Sanjay; Damaševičius, Robertas; Maskeliūnas, Rytis; 115500
New mobile applications need to estimate user activities by using sensor data provided by smart wearable devices and deliver context-aware solutions to users living in smart environments. We propose a novel hybrid data fusion method to estimate three types of daily user activities (being in a meeting, walking, and driving with a motorized vehicle) using the accelerometer and gyroscope data acquired from a smart watch using a mobile phone. The approach is based on the matrix time series method for feature fusion, and the modified Better-than-the-Best Fusion (BB-Fus) method with a stochastic gradient descent algorithm for construction of optimal decision trees for classification. For the estimation of user activities, we adopted a statistical pattern recognition approach and used the k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers. We acquired and used our own dataset of 354 min of data from 20 subjects for this study. We report a classification performance of 98.32 % for SVM and 97.42 % for kNN. © 2021, The Author(s).

Software measurement activities in small and medium enterprises: an empirical assessment
(Budapest Tech., 2011) Pusatlı, Özgür Tolga; Misra, Sanjay; 51704
An empirical study for evaluating the proper implementation of measurement/metric programs in software companies in one area of Turkey is presented. The research questions are discussed and validated with the help of senior software managers (more than 15 years' experience) and then used for interviewing a variety of medium and small scale software companies in Ankara. Observations show that there is a common reluctance/lack of interest in utilizing measurements/metrics despite the fact that they are well known in the industry. A side product of this research is that internationally recognized standards such as ISO and CMMI are pursued if they are a part of project/job requirements; without these requirements, introducing those standards to the companies remains as a long-term target to increase quality

Software quality in academic curriculum: A case study in Turkey
(2012) Pusatlı, O. Tolga; Misra, Sanjay; 51704
A variety of courses are taught in the undergraduate programs of computer science, computer engineering, software engineering and information system engineering. The preferred choices of the software industry are for hiring engineers for their companies from these disciplines, related to this fact, the emphasis on quality in software given to the associated departments' students, hence on quality objectives in software process, are studied. With this aim, a survey of the curricula of these branches in the top ten Turkish universities is undertaken. Our observations show software quality is not considered commonly as a core course except in software engineering, while the computer engineering departments provide the majority of the graduates to the industry. The results may be interpreted as suggesting that a reason for loose monitoring of standards in the software industry may be associated with this observation because graduates with transcripts on quality are few in number.
