Productivity Modeling

What affects software productivity and how do we improve it? This report examines the current state of the art in understanding and measuring software productivity. In turn, it describes a framework for understanding software productivity, identifies some fundamentals of measurement, surveys selected studies of software productivity, and identifies variables that affect software productivity. Then, a radical alternative to current approaches is suggested: to construct, evaluate, deploy, and evolve a knowledge-based "software productivity modeling and simulation system."

Abstract This paper describes an open-architecture system for computer-aided process planning called OSCAP. The system is different in architecture from traditional integrated process planning systems, since it is designed specifically to integrate with existing partial planning software with little effort. It does provide all functions of design and process planning for machining of mechanical parts on 3-axis machining centers. Special features of the system include a sophisticated feature recognition system, an optimal machining planner, automated fixture synthesis, setup planning with operation sequencing, and a knowledge based system organizer called the OSCAP core which orchestrates the functioning of all modules. The system can be arbitrarily extended or collapsed by adding or removing functional modules.
