	abstract = {Context Data mining (DM) provides the methodology and technology needed to transform huge amounts of data into useful information for decision making. It is a powerful process employed to extract knowledge and discover new patterns embedded in large data sets. Data mining has been increasingly used in medicine, particularly in cardiology. In fact, DM applications can greatly benefit all those involved in cardiology, such as patients, cardiologists and nurses. Objective The purpose of this paper is to review papers concerning the application of DM techniques in cardiology so as to summarize and analyze evidence regarding: (1) the DM techniques most frequently used in cardiology; (2) the performance of DM models in cardiology; (3) comparisons of the performance of different DM models in cardiology. Method We performed a systematic literature review of empirical studies on the application of DM techniques in cardiology published in the period between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2015. Results A total of 149 articles published between 2000 and 2015 were selected, studied and analyzed according to the following criteria: DM techniques and performance of the approaches developed. The results obtained showed that a significant number of the studies selected used classification and prediction techniques when developing DM models. Neural networks, decision trees and support vector machines were identified as being the techniques most frequently employed when developing DM models in cardiology. Moreover, neural networks and support vector machines achieved the highest accuracy rates and were proved to be more efficient than other techniques. {\textcopyright} 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd},

	abstract = {In order to improve the management of the patients{\textquoteright} health data and promote the exchange between the patients and healthcare providers, mobile personal health records (mPHRs), as mobile applications, are used to access, store and manage these data. In this paper, a design of the software quality evaluation of free mPHRs for pregnancy monitoring is introduced. Ten mobile applications (4 for iOS and 6 for Android) are selected for the evaluation. A list of tasks is set to be executed in order to answer a quality assessment questionnaire that is developed for this purpose, covering the four quality characteristics: Functional suitability, Operability, Performance efficiency and Reliability, by using the ISO/IEC 25010 quality standard. This evaluation aims to analyze the degree of meeting these quality characteristics, in addition to the compliance between the users{\textquoteright} ratings in the apps stores and the fulfillment of the quality characteristics by the mPHRs for pregnancy monitoring. This study is intended to be developed by conducting the proposed design of the evaluation, which will be of great use for the developers of these apps for further improvements. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Stakeholders{\textquoteright} needs and expectations are identified by means of software quality requirements, which have an impact on software product quality. In this paper, we present a set of requirements for mobile personal health records (mPHRs) for pregnancy monitoring, which have been extracted from literature and existing mobile apps on the market. We also use the ISO/IEC 25030 standard to suggest the requirements that should be considered during the quality evaluation of these mPHRs. We then go on to design a checklist in which we contrast the mPHRs for pregnancy monitoring requirements with software product quality characteristics and sub-characteristics in order to calculate the impact of these requirements on software product quality, using the ISO/IEC 25010 software product quality standard. The results obtained show that the requirements related to the user{\textquoteright}s actions and the app{\textquoteright}s features have the most impact on the external sub-characteristics of the software product quality model. The only sub-characteristic affected by all the requirements is Appropriateness of Functional suitability. The characteristic Operability is affected by 95~\% of the requirements while the lowest degrees of impact were identified for Compatibility (15~\%) and Transferability (6~\%). Lastly, the degrees of the impact of the mPHRs for pregnancy monitoring requirements are discussed in order to provide appropriate recommendations for the developers and stakeholders of mPHRs for pregnancy monitoring. {\textcopyright} 2015, Springer Science+Business Media New York.},

	abstract = {Background and objective Personal Health Records (PHRs) are a rapidly growing area of health information technology. PHR users are able to manage their own health data and communicate with doctors in order to improve healthcare quality and efficiency. Mobile PHR (mPHR) applications for mobile devices have obtained an interesting market quota since the appearance of more powerful mobile devices. These devices allow users to gain access to applications that used to be available only for personal computers. This paper analyzes the functionalities of mobile PHRs that are specific to pregnancy monitoring. Methods A well-known Systematic Literature Review (SLR) protocol was used in the analysis process. A questionnaire was developed for this task, based on the rigorous study of scientific literature concerning pregnancy and applications available on the market, with 9 data items and 35 quality assessments. The data items contain calendars, pregnancy information, health habits, counters, diaries, mobile features, security, backup, configuration and architectural design. Results A total of 33 mPHRs for pregnancy monitoring, available for iOS and Android, were selected from Apple App store and Google Play store, respectively. The results show that none of the mPHRs selected met 100\% of the functionalities analyzed in this paper. The highest score achieved was 77\%, while the lowest was 17\%. Conclusions In this paper, these features are discussed and possible paths for future development of similar applications are proposed, which may lead to a more efficient use of smartphone capabilities. {\textcopyright} 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd},

	abstract = {Global software development (GSD) which is a growing trend in the software industry is characterized by a highly distributed environment. Performing software project management (SPM) in such conditions implies the need to overcome new limitations resulting from cultural, temporal and geographic separation. The aim of this research is to discover and classify the various tools mentioned in literature that provide GSD project managers with support and to identify in what way they support group interaction. A systematic mapping study has been performed by means of automatic searches in five sources. We have then synthesized the data extracted and presented the results of this study. A total of 102 tools were identified as being used in SPM activities in GSD. We have classified these tools, according to the software life cycle process on which they focus and how they support the 3C collaboration model (communication, coordination and cooperation). The majority of the tools found are standalone tools (77\%). A small number of platforms (8\%) also offer a set of interacting tools that cover the software development lifecycle. Results also indicate that SPM areas in GSD are not adequately supported by corresponding tools and deserve more attention from tool builders. {\textcopyright} 2016, The Author(s).},

	abstract = {Predicting software product quality (SPQ) is becoming a permanent concern during software life cycle phases. In this paper, a systematic mapping study was performed to summarize the existing SPQ prediction (SPQP) approaches in literature and to organize the selected studies according to seven classification criteria: SPQP approaches, research types, empirical types, data sets used in the empirical evaluation of these studies, artifacts, SQ models, and SQ characteristics. Publication channels and trends were also identified. After identifying 182 documents in ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and Google scholar, 69 papers were selected. The results show that the main publication source of the papers identified was conference. Data mining techniques are the most frequently SPQP approaches reported in literature. Solution proposal was the main research type identified. The majority of the papers selected were history-based evaluations using existing data which were mainly obtained from open source software projects and domain specific projects. Source code was the main artifact concerned with SPQP approaches. Well-known SQ models were hardly mentioned and reliability is the SQ characteristic through which SPQP was mainly achieved. SPQP-related subject seems to need more investigation from researchers and practitioners. Moreover, SQ models and standards need to be considered more in future SPQP research.},

In this paper, a systematic mapping study (SMS) is carried out with the aim of summarising software cost estimation in the context of GSD research by answering nine mapping questions. A total, of 16 articles were selected and classified according to nine criteria: publication source, publication year, research type, research approach, contribution type, software cost estimation techniques, software cost estimation activity, cost drivers and cost estimation performances for GSD projects. The results show that the interest in estimating software cost for GSD projects has increased in recent years and reveal that conferences are the most frequently targeted publications. Most software cost estimation for GSD research has focused on theory. The dominant contribution type of software cost estimation for GSD research is that of models, while the predominant activity was identified as being software development cost. Identifying empirical solutions to address software cost estimation for GSD is a promising direction for researchers.},
