Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Evaluation is an important phase of the software life cycle because it is the procedure that ensures that the system meets the design requirements. Furthermore, evaluation is often used to choose the software product that is best in meeting the requirements of research or an activity that has to be implemented. Such a procedure depends on multiple criteria, goals, or objectives of often conflicting nature.
Therefore, decision-making methods have been repeatedly used in the evaluation of software in different domains. Given the above, we solicit papers that combine evaluation methods and decision making. We welcome theoretical and empirical contributions, using qualitative or quantitative methods.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Evaluation Methods;
- Inspection Methods;
- Empirical Methods;
- Hybrid Methods;
- Decision Making:
- Decision support systems;
- Multi-Criteria Decision Making;
- Artificial intelligence and Decision Making;
- Human Computer Interaction;
- Software Engineering
