Software Project Management for Distributed Computing: Life-Cycle Methods for Developing Scalable and Reliable Tools

Topics and features:

· Reviews approaches for reusability, cost and time estimation, and for functional size measurement of distributed software applications

· Discusses the core characteristics of a large-scale defense system, and the design of software project management (SPM) as a service

· Introduces the 3PR framework, research on crowdsourcing software development, and an innovative approach to modeling large-scale multi-agent software systems

· Examines a system architecture for ambient assisted living, and an approach to cloud migration and management assessment

· Investigates the benefits of agile project management for higher education institutions, and SPM that combines software and data engineering

This important text/reference is essential reading for project managers and software engineers involved in developing software for distributed computing environments. Students and researchers interested in SPM technologies and frameworks will also find the work to be an invaluable resource.
