Reuse And Productivity In Integrated Computer-Aided Software Engineering: An Empirical Study, Rajiv D. Banker, Robert J. Kauffman

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Growing competition in the investment banking industry has given rise to increasing demand for high functionality software applications that can be developed in a short period of time. Yet delivering such applications creates a bottleneck in software development activities. This dilemma can be addressed when firms shift to development methods that emphasize software reusability. This article examines the productivity implications of object and repository-based integrated computer-aided software engineering (ICASE) software development in the context of a major investment bank's information systems strategy. The strategy emphasizes software reusability. Our empirical results, based on data from 20 projects that delivered software for …

A Review Of Selected Usaf Life Cycle Costing Models, Mark G. Twomey

Theses and Dissertations

This study examined the history of the development of life cycle costing (LCC) in the DOD and USAF, and reviewed 11 'mainstream' LCC models currently being used by the Air Force including the LSC, LCCH, ZCORE, CASA, PRICE H, PRICE HL, PRICE M, PRICE S, MLCC, Dyna-METRIC, and LCOM models. A literature search revealed that the last comprehensive reviews of LCC modeling in the USAF were conducted in the 1970s by the Joint AFSC/AFLC Commanders' Working Group on LCC and Rand. LCC's initial development, in the 1960s, was prompted by rapid increases in operating and support (O and S) costs …

Analysis Of The Cash Recovery Rate's Potential Application In Determining The Social Cost Of Capital, Francis J. Geiser Iii

Theses and Dissertations

This study explored the potential application of the cash recovery rate in determining the social cost of capital. It specifically investigated the results of using cash-recovery rate-based, internal rate of return-estimating relationships, which were formulated under assumptions of constant investment growth rate, to estimate internal rates of return for simulated firm-level financial data generated using both exponentially increasing and sinusoidal investment growth rates. An extensive literature review is used to build a analytical link between the need for updating the social discount rate, capital budgeting decisions based on internal rates of return, and the proposed behavior of the cash recovery …

A Study Into The Feasibility Of Establishing A System For The Buy-Back Of Salmon Fishing Authorisations And Related Endorsements., P. J. Monaghan

Fisheries Management Papers

A buy-back system for the buy-back of under performing salmon authorisations is suggested as the most cost effective method of reducing the number of salmon fishing units. It could be of benefit to commercial salmon fishermen and could be achieved at relatively modest cost. The alternative of implementing a buy-back system of interest to all salmon authorisation holders could be extraordinary expensive as salmon fishermen place a high value on lifestyle.

Miscellaneous Publication 28/91 - Midas (Model Of An Integrated Dryland Agricultural System), David J. Pannell, Andrew Bathgate

Farm Systems and Economics published reports

MIDAS is a bioeconomic model of mixed crop/livestock farms in Western Australia. It selects farm management strategies which maximise profit subject to resource, technical and environmental constraints using the linear programming technique. This document provides a thorough documentation of the version of MIDAS developed for the "eastern wheatbelt" region. If you are learning to use MIDAS with the MARG menu driven system, you need to read the MARG manual as well as this documentation.

From early in the life of MIDAS, we gave a high priority to making the data and assumptions readily accessible in documentation and in microcomputer spreadsheet …

A Discussion Of Options For Effort Reduction., Southern Demersal Gillnet And Demersal Longline Fishery Management Advisory Committe

Fisheries Management Papers

The committee prefers to reduce effort in the fishery by improving the effectiveness of the 50 per cent reduction on transfer rule. To do this it is necessary to prevent the use of lease arrangements which act as a form of transfer.Some consideration could also be given to encouraging transfer of licences by protecting purchased units against further effort reductions. The Minister for Fisheries has determined that ownership statement must be completed prior to licence renewal each year. It is hoped that this will prevent licence holders from using lease arrangements to effect transfers and so avoid the loss of …

Establishment Of A Registry To Record Charges Against Fishing Licences When Used As Security For Loans., P. Rogers

Fisheries Management Papers

This report outlines the Committee's final advice to the Minister for Fisheries on the need for a public commercial fishing licence register which has a mechanism for the recording of financial security interest in fishing licences. The Committee was greatly assisted by legislation introduced within the Victorian State Parliament during 1989, which by amendment to the Fisheries Act, provides for the registration of prescribed financial interests in fishing licences (See Appendix 1).

The Future For Recreational Fishing Forum Proceedings Saturday, 20 October 1990., Recreational Fishing Advisory Committee

Fisheries Management Papers

Australia's first recreational fishing forum was held at the West Australian Cricket Association Ground, in Perth WA on Saturday, 20 October 1990. It was clearly recognised by government, fishers and fisheries managers alike that the 1990's was the decade of decision for recreational fishing in WA. At the end of the day, the 12 speakers had covered an impressive range of topics, from the principles of resource sharing to community education and the question of funding the management of recreational fishing.

The Effects Of Airline Strikes On Struck And Nonstruck Carriers, Richard Defusco, Scott M. Fuess Jr.

Department of Finance: Faculty Publications

This study provides new evidence on the industry-wide impact of strikes by investigating how strikes have affected the values of struck and nonstruck airlines. Using stock market data for the years 1963-86, the authors show that most strikes adversely affected the value of struck airlines' stock but enhanced the stock value of nonstruck carriers. The results also show that strikes before October 1978, which marked the end of strict regulation of the industry and of the employers' mutual aid pact, had some effects different from those of strikes after that date.
