Software Configuration Management

Software Configuration Management

An effective systems development and design process is far easier to explain than it is to implement. A framework is needed that organizes the life cycle activities that form the process. This framework is Configuration Management (CM). Software Configuration Management discusses the framework from a standards viewpoint using the original DoD MIL-STD-973 and EIA-649 standards to describe the elements of configuration management within a software engineering perspective. Divided into two parts the first section is composed of 14 chapters that explain every facet of configuration management related to software engineering. The second section consists of 25 appendices that contain many valuable real world CM templates. The content is extensive and inclusive covering everything from CM planning to configuration identification verification and auditing. Although it is vendor-neutral it offers a serious discussion of what to look for in a CM tool and lists toolsets for review. This volume is a sourcebook of techniques templates and best practices in the field providing software engineers and systems developers with what they need to run a successful CM program.

Database Modeling Step by Step

Database Modeling Step by Step

With the aim of simplifying relational database modeling Database Modeling Step-by-Step presents the standard approach to database normalization and then adds its own approach which is a more simplistic intuitive way to building relational database models. Going from basics to contemporary topics the book opens with relational data modeling and ends with BigData database modeling following a road map of the evolution in relational modeling and including brief introductions to data warehousing and BigData modeling. A break-down of the elements of a model explains what makes up a relational data model. This is followed by a comparison between standard normalization and a more simplistic intuitive approach to data modeling that a beginner can follow and understand. A brief chapter explains how to use the database programming language SQL (Structured Query Language) which reads from and writes to a relational database. SQL is fundamental to data modeling because it helps in understanding how the model is used. In addition to the relational model the last three chapters cover important modern world topics including denormalization that leads into data warehouses and BigData database modeling. The book explains how there is not much to logical data modeling in BigData databases because as they are often schema-less which means that BigData databases do not have schemas embedded into the database itself they have no metadata and thus not much of a logical data model. Online bonus chapters include a case study that covers relational data modeling and are available at the author’s web site: www. oracletroubleshooter. com/datamodeling. html | Database Modeling Step by Step

Project Management in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises A European Perspective

The growing importance of projects in organizations combined with difficulties in their implementation is accompanied by the need for professional knowledge in the field of project management. It results from the complexity of project management problems and the difficulty of knowledge that must be applied. However surprisingly little is known about this topic especially in the context of European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Project Management in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises: A European Perspective attempts to fill this specific research gap. The book analyses the process of managing projects being implemented by small and medium-sized firms from Europe identifies organizational processes and verifies which elements of these processes require improvement. It concentrates on issues around the multifaceted characteristics of project management with particular emphasis on the process of managing European small and medium enterprises. The book is the result of many years of empirical research and consists of two main parts: A systematization of concepts terminology and thus knowledge in the field of project management with particular emphasis on the phases of planning organizing as well as leading and controlling in the project as well as small and medium-sized enterprises with particular emphasis on their specificity and role in the modern European economy. A systematization of concepts terminology and thus knowledge in the field of project management with particular emphasis on the phases of planning organizing as well as leading and controlling in the project as well as small and medium-sized enterprises with particular emphasis on their specificity and role in the modern European economy Verification and development of such model procedures in the management of projects so that the SME enterprises’ functioning will be efficient and effective. There is a close relationship between the two parts. The theoretical part is the foundation on which practical considerations are later carried out. Integrating theoretical and practical issues the book introduces new content to the literature and has the practical value of indicating how to manage projects in SMEs in the European Union.
