Empirical studies have become an integral element of software engineering research and practice This unique text/reference includes chapters from some of the top international empirical software engineering researchers and focuses on the practical knowledge necessary for conducting, reporting and using empirical methods in software engineering.

Part 1, ‘Research Methods and Techniques’, examines the proper use of various strategies for collecting and analysing data, and the uses for which those strategies are most appropriate. Part 2, ‘Practical Foundations’, provides a discussion of several important global issues that need to be considered from the very beginning of research planning. Finally, ‘Knowledge Creation’ offers insight on using a set of disparate studies to provide useful decision support.

Topics and features:

• Offers information across a range of techniques, methods, and qualitative and quantitative issues, providing a toolkit for the reader that is applicable across the diversity of software development contexts

• Presents reference material with concrete software engineering examples

• Provides guidance on how to design, conduct, analyse, interpret and report empirical studies, taking into account the common difficulties and challenges encountered in the field

• Arms researchers with the information necessary to avoid fundamental risks

• Tackles appropriate techniques for addressing disparate studies – ensuring the relevance of empirical software engineering, and showing its practical impact

• Describes methods that are less often used in the field, providing less conventional but still rigorous and useful ways of collecting data

• Supplies detailed information on topics (such as surveys) that often contain methodological errors

This broad-ranging, practical guide will prove an invaluable and useful reference for practising software engineers and researchers. In addition, it will be suitable for graduate students studying empirical methods in software development.

Dr. Forrest Shull is a senior scientist at the Fraunhofer Center for Experimental Software Engineering, Maryland, and the director of its Measurement and Knowledge Management Division. In addition, he serves as associate editor in chief of IEEE Software magazine, specializing in empirical studies.

Dr. Janice Singer heads the Human Computer Interaction program at the National Research Council, Canada. She has been conducting empirical research in software engineering for the past 12 years.

Dr. Dag Sjøberg is currently research director of the software engineering group of the Simula Research Laboratory, Norway, which is ranked No. 3 in the world (out of 1400 institutions) in an evaluation in 2007 in the area of software and systems engineering.

A psychologist once told the author that we cannot be told the truth of our sexuality because our minds are being controlled by those with anti-sexual activity agendas This book challenges those who would control us by corrupting the Bible. It explores six areas of human sexual activity: Masturbation, Incest, Adultery, Prostitution, Homosexuality, and Bestiality, and how they were viewed and acted upon prior to Moses writing the sexually repressive laws in the Old Testament. These Mosiac Laws are examined, as is the reason for them. This book looks at what Christ thought about human sexual activity, at what he condemned, and what he did not. It then moves onto St. Paul, who was fanatically anti-sexual, and routinely changed Christ's words to achieve the control he wanted over us. Jumping three hundred years it looks into the creation of the first Latin Bible, the Vulgate, and the alterations St. Jerome, the Vulgate's translator, made to it. Next, it advances twelve hundred years to the first English translation, and then to the first King James Bible, and all of the sexually repressive items added to the Bible by the Puritans who wrote the King James Bible. This book brings out the fact that every New Testament is copyrighted, which means it is a minimum of 20% different from the Bible sitting next to it. Into which publisher's ear did Christ whisper to make that "bible" the true "Bible"? The author has created and copyrighted the "Ritter Sexuality Scale," which is greatly expanded beyond Alfred Kinsey's scale, and allows the reader to easily see and understand just exactly his or her true sexuality is. Controllers have fostered the big lie that everyone is either heterosexual or homosexual with a few bi-sexuals thrown in. In fact, much middle ground exists between pure heterosexuals and pure homosexuals, as can be seen on the author's scale. There has never before been such a challenge to controllers as is presented by this book. A retired high school counselor.

These days it's not only science fiction that's filled with cyborgsUevery aspect of popular culture, contemporary critical theory and literature, and even our real lives are everywhere penetrated by androids, alien creatures, virtual celebrities, and other simulacura. A collection of essays on the figure of the cyborg in contemporary film and culture, Artificial Humans examines such classics of the genre as Frankenstein, Bladerunner, Robocop, the Alien series, and the two Terminator films, and also touches on issues of artificial intelligence and virtual reality. With plenty of film stills and behind-the-scenes commentary from filmmakers like James Cameron and Ridley Scott, Artificial Humans combines the qualities of a film book, a cultural studies text, and a work of science fiction..
