Engineering Economics of Life Cycle Cost Analysis 1

By (author): Peter Sandborn (University of Maryland, USA)

This volume presents a selection of the presentations from the first annual conference on Analytical Methods in Software Engineering Economics held at The MITRE Corporation in McLean, Virginia. The papers are representative of the issues that are of interest to researchers in the economics of information systems and software engineering economics. The 1990s are presenting software economists with a particularly difficult set of challenges. Because of budget considerations, the number of large new software development efforts is declining. The primary focus has shifted to issues relating to upgrading and migrating existing systems. In this environment, productivity enhancing methodologies and tools are of primary interest.

A complete collection for all students of Power and Electronics Engineering, or for professionals looking for a handy reference book. As a friend of mine once said : perhaps the most valuable collection to possess when the apocalypse hits and we have to rebuild everything!
