    Desarrollo de Software Dirigido por Modelos: Conceptos, métodos y herramientas  

    Over the past decade, Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) has emerged as a new step on the way to a true industrialisation of software production. After the success of object-oriented technology, the systematic use of models is now presented as the appropriate way to achieve programming at a higher level of abstraction and to increase the level of automation. In our research work and in projects with companies, we have seen the potential of models to increase levels of abstraction and automation. Therefore, we are fully convinced that DEM concepts, methods and techniques facilitate the creation and evolution of software. This book provides a detailed explanation of the basic concepts of DEM, as well as examples of each type of application and a presentation of the most commonly used tools, so that you can acquire the necessary knowledge to start practising DEM.

    Fábrica de Software: Experiencias, Tecnologías y Organización  

    The concept of the software factory is now more than forty years old, since it was first mentioned by Bemer in 1968, when he stated that: we seem to have few specific environments (factory facilities) for the economic production of programs. A year later, the first software factory was established: Hitachi Software Works. Since then, the term software factory denotes the development and maintenance of software in a way that is comparable to the production of other industrial products, albeit with the peculiarities of the software itself. However, industrialising software manufacturing has proven to reduce costs and product lifecycle, improving the quality of the software.

    Medición y Estimación del Software: Técnicas y métodos para mejorar la calidad y la productividad  

    Measurement has a long tradition and is a fundamental discipline in any engineering discipline, and Software Engineering should not be an exception, although the peculiarities that differentiate software from other products must always be kept in mind. Software measurement is a young discipline, and this has had a significant influence on the fact that software engineering has not yet reached the degree of maturity that other engineering disciplines have. However, few nowadays doubt the importance of measurement for increasing quality and productivity in software development and maintenance. The need and motivation to measure has increased notably with the concern of organisations to achieve higher levels of maturity and the consequent certifications based on models and standards such as ISO 9000, ISO 15504 or CMMI. Indeed, in order to ensure that a process has a certain degree of quality and to improve it, it is necessary to apply the corresponding indicators. Furthermore, software measurement allows us to control what happens in projects and to predict their effort and duration, as well as to improve software products.

    Object-Oriented Design Knowledge: Principles, Heuristics and Best Practices.  

    In order to properly understand a field, a researcher has to first understand the accumulated knowledge of that field. Micro-architectural design has accumulated knowledge elements that are clearly defined. These elements, such as design patterns, are properly differentiated and generally understood, but other elements such as heuristics, best practices, and others are just vague concepts. Object-Oriented Design Knowledge: Principles, Heuristics and Best Practices provides a unified and global vision about the lesser-defined areas of micro-architectural design knowledge, exposing the main techniques, experiences, and methods in order to help researchers apply these concepts. Understanding the experiences presented in this book will help readers correctly apply design knowledge.

Fuzzy Databases: Modeling, Design and Implementation also proposes a method for translating the FuzzyEER model into a classical DBMS, and defines FSQL (Fuzzy SQL), an extension of the SQL language that allows users to write flexible conditions in queries, using all the extensions defined by the FuzzyEER model. This book, while providing an integrated overview of fuzzy database constructs, serves as an introduction to fuzzy logic, fuzzy databases and fuzzy modelling in databases.
    AUTHORS: Urrutia , Angélica; Piattini Velthuis, Mario




    Metrics for Software Conceptual Models  

    The idea that “measuring quality is the key to developing high-quality software systems” is gaining relevance. Moreover, it is widely recognised that the key to obtaining better software systems is to measure the quality characteristics of early artefacts, produced at the conceptual modelling phase. Therefore, improving the quality of conceptual models is a major step towards the improvement of software system development.Since the 1970s, software engineers had been proposing high quantities of metrics for software products, processes and resources but had not been paying any special attention to conceptual modelling. By the mid-1990s, however, the need for metrics for conceptual modelling had emerged.

    Introducción a la Programación con Orientación a Objetos  

    This text presents an introduction to programming, grounded in the object-oriented paradigm. However, the text does not focus on the syntactic component corresponding to a given language. The manual is organised in two main sections. The first section presents the fundamentals of traditional imperative programming and can be used to present this topic from a generic point of view. The second section builds on the previous one to deal with object-oriented programming. Java has been selected as an object-oriented language that is readily available, generally applicable and widely used. The book contains numerous examples and exercises implemented in Java as a programming language.

    Information and database quality  

    In a global and increasingly competitive market, where organizations are driven by information, the search for ways to transform data into true knowledge is critical to a business's success. Few companies, however, have effective methods of managing the quality of this information. Because quality is a multidimensional concept, its management must consider a wide variety of issues related to information and data quality. Information and Database Quality is a compilation of works from research and industry that examines these issues, covering both the organizational and technical aspects of information and data quality.

    Diseño de bases de datos relacionales  

    The main objective of this book is to provide methodological principles that help to perform a good conceptual design (using the extended E/R model) and to carry out the transformation of the obtained conceptual schema into a logical schema with the minimum loss of semantics. It also provides a solid theoretical basis, such as normalisation theory, to the logical design of databases. It includes a diskette containing the RENO (RElaciones NOrmalizadas) tool.
    AUTHORS: Piattini Velthuis, Mario; De Miguel Castaño, Adoración; Marcos , Esperanza




    Fundamentos y modelos de las bases de datos (2ª edicion)  

    The main objective of this book is the study of the basic concepts and the main models that have been used in recent years in the area of databases. It first reviews Information Systems and Databases, the components of a Database Management System and the most important elements of a Data Model with the Entity / Interrelationship Model (EM/IR), as well as the relational model (both static and dynamic) and the network and hierarchical models. A complete chapter is also devoted to the SQL language (definition, manipulation and control statements), as well as another to the logical design of databases in the relational model, in which the theory of normalisation is briefly summarised.

    Concepción y Diseño de Bases de Datos: Del Modelo E/R al Modelo Relacional  

    The aim of the book is to provide readers with a practical knowledge of the subject, without, however, lacking adequate theoretical rigour. To this end, the fundamental concepts of databases are presented in a clear and precise manner, offering a systematic treatment of the three most widespread conventional data models on the market: hierarchical, codasyl and relational. It also explains the extended E/R model, emphasising the importance of a conceptual model, providing methodological principles to help the designer to carry out a good conceptual design and also providing a solid theoretical basis, the theory of normalisation to the logical design of databases. Included with the book is a diskette on which various normalisation algorithms are programmed.
