Special Issue: Managing Software Processes Using Soft Computing
Techniques
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Information and Software Technology Journal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soft computing intelligence techniques are used for multiple
applied software engineering challenges including defect
prediction, estimation and reusable software engineering and
classification. However, the applications of soft computing
techniques in software processes are far from being mature, which
appears to be the more suitable field for its application. The
applied soft computing techniques like fuzzy logic, neural
networks (NNs), case-based reasoning and evolutionary computation
could provide a novel roadmap to manage software processes. The
aim of this special issue is to provide a platform for both
practitioners and researchers to discuss the suitability of soft
computing techniques for managing the managerial, organizational,
economical and technical aspects of software processes. The issue
provides an opportunity to present the empirical evidences and
technical strategies of software processes, as well propose new
techniques, tools, frameworks and approaches to maximize the
significance of software development processes with the
application of soft computing techniques.
