- Since its inception into software engineering software inspection has been viewed as a cost-effective way of increasing software quality. Despite this many questions remain unanswered regarding, for example, ideal team size or cost effectiveness. This paper addresses some of these questions by performing an analysis using 30 published data sets from empirical experiments of software inspections. The main question is concerned with determining a suitable team size for software inspections. The effectiveness of different team sizes is also studied. Furthermore, the differences in mean effectiveness between different team sizes are investigated based on the inspection environmental context, document types and reading technique. It is concluded that it is possible to choose a suitable team size based on the effectiveness of inspections. This can be used as a tool to assist in the planning of inspections. A particularly interesting result is that variation in the effectiveness between different teams is considerably higher for certain types of documents than for others. Our findings contain important information for anyone planning, controlling or managing software inspections.

- Emergency software problems may present an immediate danger to public health, safety, general welfare or business. Hence, the organisations must be well prepared to handle them with the greatest expediency. Unfortunately, the software community has paid little attention to the emergency corrective maintenance. Today, we do not have any standard process models for handling emergency situations. In this paper, we outline an emergency corrective maintenance process model. The model is called CM3: Emergency Problem Management. It is based on an industrial process model as defined at Scandinavian Airline Systems. In addition to the emergency process model, we present the status within the emergency process at Scandinavian Airline Systems, and describe the lessons learned.

- In recent years, mobile computing has become the focus of vigorous research efforts in various areas of computer science and engineering. These areas include wireless networking, distributed systems, operating systems, - distributed databases, software engineering, applications development, just to name a few. This paper introduces the conceptual overview of mobile computing, its achievements, challenges and opportunities. The current status and ongoing research projects in mobile computing worldwide are detailed. This paper also discusses the two Australian workshops on mobile computing, databases and applications held in 1996 and 1997

Efficient object-oriented query optimisation in mobile computing environment

- Convergence of object-oriented technologies with advances in computer and communications technologies will lead to new paradigms and approaches to building object-based distributed systems, including mobile computing systems. Portable and mobile computers involved in mobile database query processing use battery power. These mobile hosts have severe battery energy problems and significant improvements in battery technology are not yet forthcoming. Portable computers rim on different energy consumption modes (normal and doze). This feature is used to save battery energy through flexible and efficient query optimisation. This paper discusses and proposes a two-dimensional energy-work 'query optimisation algorithm. The algorithm employs dynamic programming techniques and achieves a balance between saving energy consumption at mobile hosts and minimising total work for query processing in the whole database. A simulation of the algorithm is implemented and analysed
