	abstract = {Estimation by analogy is a commonly used software effort estimation technique and a suitable alternative to other conventional estimation techniques: It predicts the effort of the target project using information from former similar projects. While it is relatively easy to handle numerical attributes, dealing with categorical attributes is one of the most difficult issues for analogy-based estimation techniques. Therefore, we propose, in this paper, a novel analogy-based approach, called 2FA-kprototypes, to predict effort when software projects are described by a mix of numerical and categorical attributes. To this aim, the well-known fuzzy k-prototypes algorithm is integrated into the process of estimation by analogy. The estimation accuracy of 2FA-kprototypes was evaluated and compared with that of two techniques: (1) classical analogy-based technique and (2) 2FA-kmodes, which is a technique that we have developed recently. The comparison was performed using four data sets that are},

	abstract = {Requirements Engineering (RE) includes processes intended to elicit, analyse, specify and validate systems and software requirements throughout the software life cycle. Mastering the principles of RE is key to achieving the goals of better, cheaper and quicker systems and software development projects. It is also important to be prepared to work with remote teammates, as distributed and global projects are becoming more common. This paper presents an experiment with a total of 31 students from two universities in Spain and Morocco who were assigned to either a co-located or a distributed team. Both traditional and reuse-based requirements specification techniques were applied by the participants to produce requirements documents. Their outcomes were then analysed, and the approaches were compared from the point of view of their effect on a set of performance-based and perception-based variables in co-located and distributed settings. We found significant differences in only productivi},

	abstract = {ABSTRACT Collaboration in software engineering projects is usually intensive and requires adequate support by well-integrated tools. However, process-centered software engineering environments (PSEE) have traditionally been designed to exploit integration facilities in other tools, while offering themselves little to no such facilities. This is in line with the vision of the PSEE as the central orchestrator of project support tools. We argue that this view has hindered the widespread adoption of process-based collaboration support tools by incurring too much adoption and switching costs. We propose a new process-based collaboration support architecture, backed by a process metamodel, that can easily be integrated with existing tools. The proposed architecture revolves around the central concepts of {\textquoteright}deep links{\textquoteright} and {\textquoteright}hooks{\textquoteright}. Our approach is validated by analyzing a collection of open-source projects, and integration utilities based on the implemented process model server have been deve},
