Two significant trends have been gaining momentum in software development: the utilization of Agile development methodologies, and the continuing trend of companies to outsource development work offshore. These two trends have changed the way companies develop software and business applications. This chapter seeks to evaluate how a company can successfully manage both trends in conjunction with each other on global business. The primary question addressed is whether the benefits derived from Agile development methodologies and the savings from outsourced software development efforts cancel each other out when applied together, or whether they create a synergy greater than the sum of the parts. In order to answer this question, this chapter intends to examine several relevant business practices and industry experiences. From lessons learned, we identify factors which seem to influence a successful combination of Agile methodology and offshoring in global software development projects.

This paper discusses some relevant methodological and implementation experiences acquired during the design and development of an embedded Fall Detection System (FDS), which can be of help in order to develop efficient and safe biomedical software for mobile Health (mHealth). For this purpose, an analysis of concepts like portability and iterative design, as well as some concerns about risks and safety involved, is provided in order to address some of the current challenges in embedded software, regarding the state-of-art of software development standards and mHealth technologies. This analysis is later evaluated for a custom pre-industrial prototype of the FDS, as an example of the feasibility of the approach followed. The results obtained show that a convenient methodological process can help to optimize available resources so as to provide affordable mHealth solutions.

Modeling Approach

Software reuse has drawn much attention in computing research. Domain analysis is considered a prerequisite to effective reuse of existing software. Several approaches and methodologies have been proposed for domain analysis or domain modeling, but not many case studies have been reported in the literature. The first objective of this paper is to present the concept and practical experiences of a domain analysis approach in discrete-event simulation in manufacturing — generic /specific modeling. A second objective of this paper is to present a meta-model based on the generic/ specific approach from the software engineering perspective. The steps and knowledge required to build the model are described. Domain analysis lessons learned from the generic/specific approach in discrete-event simulation are discussed. Classification of this domain modeling approach was conducted through the Wartik and Prieto-Diaz criteria. The classification will facilitate the comparison with other domain analysis approaches. Similar modeling concepts or techniques may be beneficial to other researchers in their own application domains.
